Library fostered “unfettered” thought
Slippery: Unreliable

Paragraph 6 expanded on a comparison in paragraph 5 (wuthering heights passage)
2 short passages described urban sprawl as “homogeneous”
Vocab question: Flamboyant, not elephantine </p>
<p>Math:
Parallelogram: 20*68 (1360)
Arithmetic mean with a<b<c, b = 20, answer should have been 35.
Distance between the two points: .9
Car at 50 mph: 7.2 minutes
Venn diagram (10-100, inclusive, multiples of three, not perfect squares): 28
The question about k: k/2k-n
Isosceles triangle max length: 11
Equilateral and Isosceles triangle: x=15</p>
<p>Writing:
Governments/violate question: error in “it violates”, should be “they violate”
Caesar salad question: “But”
Prohibit “from”
Parliament question: should have been “For those who”
Security company question about choosing a password should have been “you should not”
Thieves artwork one: No error
Two no errors: Thieves, yoyo maker.</p>
<p>Value of x was 15 degrees, when x was the angle between the equilateral triangle and the right-isosceles triangle’s legs. This is because the equilateral was 60 degrees and the isosceles was 90 degrees. Difference is 30 degrees, there were two spots though so answer is 30/2.</p>
<p>Unrelated: If I got three wrong and left three blank, is it still possible to get 212+?
PM me please.</p>
<p>There was definitely a ‘pompous’ answer choice for form W. Not sure if PSAT has different forms for the normal test, this is my first time taking it and I didn’t know much about it. Its the reason why I signed up on here actually.</p>
<p>Also I think the thieves stealing artwork and the black market ‘had shrunk’ was supposed to be ‘had shrunken’, thus the answer was D not E. Anyone confirm?</p>
<p>It was mocking because when Duncan suggested that Mo sing, he said something about it being a kind suggestion, and Mo was mocking him by making sure to work kind into every statement. I don’t think that explains it too well, but does to some degree.</p>
<p>Try drawing an isosceles triangle with a side of 22 and two sides of 1. It’s impossible. The answer is 11, I believe. </p>
<p>And “odd” meant infrequent I believe. “The odd drawing.” I don’t believe she made one eccentric drawing. I think the author was referring to a drawing that would be discovered one and a while (infrequently)</p>
<p>^No. Three-side rule, or whatever it’s called. Any two sides must add up to be greater than the third. Therefore, all isosceles triangles must have two equal sides that are larger than the third side.</p>
<p>Odd meant infrequent because it was in a list of things (“Four diary papers, some letters, the odd painting”) which made it mean ‘infrequent’. </p>
<p>Mo was mocking him at the end when he said “kindly” all the time. He was mocking him by being excessively polite.</p>
