<p>Yeah, big business has been confirmed. No worries, man. Does anyone remember the full sentence for the Canada no error?</p>
<p>Oh, and does anyone remember the other answer choices to the dark side question?</p>
<ul>
<li>ominiois
-mysterious</li>
<li>concealed</li>
</ul>
<p>not sure about rest. But others were completely wrong.</p>
<p>Laurier: “Does anyone have the link to the PSAT score/curve predictions?”</p>
<p>Wait, how would anyone know this without knowing how everyone who took the PSAT did on the tests?</p>
<p>It was Thomas Paine, and he was a pamphleteer. Lol, it confused me until I remembered who Thomas Paine was.</p>
<p>No, the pluperfect (had) is used to show that something happened before another thing, so in the context of "it had been a colony for 80 years until it gained independence, it indicated that it was a colony before the independence gaining. Lol.</p>
<p>Also another math one was the reflection over the x-axis… I think the original coordinates were (-3,2) and when reflected, of course, it was (-3,-2). Still beating myself up about the adults in the room and extemporize…
But I disagree that wry disapproval fits at all with the sentence. Maybe with the passage as a whole, but with the sentence, all the choices kind of sucked. I’d stick with wistful nostalgia, although as other people mentioned it’s too strong. And I also believe the flipping the switch had no error, but without the whole sentence, we can’t really argue.</p>
<p>Sorry, AngelofSpeed, but what was that question again? (about big business)</p>
<p>It was the one that was like who would support this or something and it was advocates of big businesses.</p>
<p>I think it was about viewpoint. Search the thread, I think you can find some more info on it.</p>
<p>it was the thing about the poison is progress, and the question was which does it best represent the view point of? choices were like big business, author, and other people and the answer was big businesses</p>
<p>Do you know what grade I should have put? I was a freshman last year, but am class of 2013 because I’m doing high school in 3 years… Anyway, I put 11th to be competitive for national merit (I’ll be a senior next year)</p>
<p>Just wondering, did anyone put “bitter resentment” for the question that everyone’s claiming is “wry disapproval”?</p>
<p>@treating</p>
<p>quite a few people put bitter resentment actually. i put wry disapproval, because wry disapproval perfectly characterizes those lines. </p>
<p>bitter resentment is much too extreme.</p>
<p>What was the enthralled vocab question?</p>
<p>@amazeedayzee</p>
<p>in the future, please don’t be repetitive and ask questions that have already been discussed. i make the same mistake too sometimes, but just use the search this thread tool to find your answer first to see if it’s already been discussed.</p>
<p>that being said, the enthralled vocab question was about the woman who read a bunch of mystery novels, and was therefore _____ by detective fiction.</p>
<p>The author of the gardening passage said that since Thoreau, naturalists haven’t talked about gardening. The answer can’t be “wistful nostalgia” because the author wasn’t even alive during Thoreau’s era; it’s not as if he’s reminiscing on past experiences. Pretty sure it’s “wry disapproval.”</p>
<p>i need a good score for my private school applicationsss!
does anyone know the predicted curve?</p>
<p>and what was the question for
incompatible…
like
romanticized
with the garden passage? LOL</p>
<p>@christinesong</p>
<p>i think that one was about the gardening guy and how he viewed gardening? in general? i dont really remember, but there was a line in the passage that said that his views did not match up with those of thoreau; thus, the answer is that his views were incompatible with the romanticized views of thoreau and his followers.</p>
