<p>"-Dark Side : ominous"
Why was this one not Morbid? Ominous means mysterious and ghostlike, and as both mysterious and ominous are choices, I would think to eliminate both as possible correct choices. Plus, morbid does quite SPECIFICALLY mean having to do with disease, but more generally, it is like bad or bad in general; the fact that the government had access to these things was not mysterious/foreboding(ominous) or hidden(concealed) or sad(sullen), it was a quite bad for you and negative downside to the government having access.</p>

<p>"-Incompatible with a romanticized view of nature"
People are saying that it states this in the first paragraph. However, I remember what it specifically said, and it was something like “…, not romanticized, but…” i feel like “incompatible” is too extreme.</p>

<p>"-24: Without giving up value"
Can anyone recall any of the other possible choices for this one?</p>

<p>"D thanks guys</p>

443

<p>Oh my god, I feel so bad :frowning: </p>

<p>I had m+k-4 the first time, but I changed it to m+k-2!!! </p>

<p>arrgh math was my strongest section and the curves are probably bad whichwill make my score low…</p>

444

<p>it is incompatible b/c the author mentions how he, as a gardner, has to root out grounhogs barrows, kill the weeds, and do all these unromantic things to succeed in gardening. </p>

<p>the one without giving up value. i think the choices were “both authors agree that” … a) advance in technology will help 2) gov’t intervention will help 3) can achieve w/out giving up value…etc. I THINK that was the problem, not sure.</p>

445

<p>Wait, so it was m+k-4? YES!</p>

<p>dlthf, you shouldn’t have changed your answer :stuck_out_tongue: unless you were sure</p>

446

<p>I was so sure … Oh well, I think I did pretty good on CR section, so I’ll just hope that the curves are really good and keep my fingers crossed :)</p>

447

<p>Do you guys know the exact date when the score will come out?</p>

<p>My proctor said December, but is it December 1st? or later?</p>

448

<p>i got morbid too. any predictions CR = -3, M = -0, W = -2</p>

449

<p>What was the answer to the one where one variable was odd and the other was even and you multiplied something like (x+1)/y and y/x?</p>

450

<p>-0W -1CR -0M = 240? please please please say yes</p>

451

<p>shyams, sorry but prob not for math</p>

452

<p>i edited it, i meant CR. would that work then?</p>

453

<p>Bostonboys, A number between 1 and 2</p>

454

<p>what does the OP= half the diameter question mean? was it the one with the angle that was 45 degrees and they asked for OP? can someone plzzzz explain?! & what was the actual answer</p>

455

<p>Anyone want to take a guess at a score for M -0 W -0 CR -6(oops)?</p>

456

<p>while you’re at it, anyone want to predict M - 0 W-4 :frowning: CR -2</p>

457

<p>so this is just a ballpark guess and might be higher or lower but let’s say i got
-6 CR, -3 M, -3 W around what score would that be?</p>

458

<p>For the one about the authors of Passage 1 and 2 would most likely agree… I didn’t put Privacy can be recovered without giving up too much value because the author of Passage 2 specifically stated the advantages of storing information in databases, so he would go against it. I put that the public has to give efforts (or something of the sorts) because both passages seemed to end with references of the public’s inability to control / fight for privacy.</p>

459

<p>the answer was 5, I believe it was simply half the diameter</p>

460

<p>I’m confused what OP meant too… And what does 3Y/2X mean? And the I and II corresponds to what question? </p>

<p>Sorry! I’m just lost on those ones.</p>

461

<p>3x/2y was the angle one (both right angles, so 90/90=1)
i&ii is the question that was like 3d=2c (might be other way around), and c has to be less than 2.</p>
