<p>That choice E does not make sense. It is way too wordy. "The fact that ... is why ...." There was a much better alternative. Perhaps it was (C) but I don't really remember.</p>
<p>oooh wait no it wasn't I forget what it was though......</p>
<p>I think C was like, "Because the euro film industry nearly all but shut down, the US film industry rose to prominence" The transition with the comma just didnt sound right to me.</p>
<p>That makes sense I think.</p>
<p>About the translation message, what was the question about how medieval pple would have thought it to be a "danger" or maybe it was a "crime" for people to want literal translations cuz they want to pay their dues to the orginial author? </p>
<p>There was one answer that seemed a little bit LESS wrong than the other choices but I dun remember which it was >.<</p>
<p>"I think C was like, "Because the euro film industry nearly all but shut down, the US film industry rose to prominence" The transition with the comma just didnt sound right to me."</p>
<p>That's what I put, but I'm not too confident that it's right.</p>
<p>I don't get it. I didn't have this passage at all. How is everyone so sure that it's not experimental?</p>
<p>Do they have different versions of the test with entirely different sets of passages?</p>
<p>Anyone remember something in the writing this goes like
The eastern Cobra snake,if disturbed, it shakes it's tail---
the choices were
...and shoots out venom
...,and they shoot out poisonous venom</p>
<p>^And shoots out venom</p>
<p>guys for the "...nearly all but.." sentence, nearly and all but is the same meaning. thus its a redundancy...but i think i forgot about it during the test....shoot</p>
<p>I don't think the choice actually said "nearly all but." There is no way we can remember the exact wording of the choices. All I know is that the structure of the sentence with "Because the European film industry ....., the U.S. film industry rose to prominence." was correct. The only possible answer was the choice that was structured this way, because none of the other choices made sense.</p>
<p>i remember exactly the "nearly all but" phrase because i felt it was too awkward...but anyway, 99% of chance i still didnt pick out the error</p>
<p>Whatever. I can't remember exact phrasing. As of now though, nobody has proposed a decent alternative to what I think I put down (the proposed answer that started this was clearly wrong). So whatever, who knows - I think the answer to this one was pretty obvious by process of elimination, so I bet whatever it was was right.</p>
<p>In the bioluminescence passage:</p>
<p>The passage had a line that was "why would these creatures need lights blah blah blah?" The question was why the author used this question.</p>
<p>Earlier posts said the answer was refuting an assertion the author had made. Was that even a choice? I remember a choice being "to show that the scientific knowledge wasn't complete."</p>
<p>oh...i m 70% sure it addresses an apparent drawback, because other choices dont fit at all</p>
<p>Yeah, I put apparent drawback because the rest of the answer choices didn't fit...umm scientific knowledge wouldn't be incomplete in this case because scientists know a lot about bioluminescence according to the passage and the author was merely asking a rhetorical question.</p>
