<p>greenmamba20 - yeah, it was definitely outdated for the sprawling question…</p>
<p>and yeah, you’re right on the last one. it was “for those”.</p>
<p>@Greenmamba20: Actually, I think “homogeneous” was the correct choice: both authors used the phrase “cookie-cutter homes.”</p>
<p>Math: -1.25
Reading: -5??
Writing: -2.5</p>
<p>I really think it was outdated…they used that word a lot in the passage, if I remember correctly.</p>
<p>For the thieves question, does anyone remember what the tenses of the verbs were? I know in the beginning “That the thieves failed to sell blah blah . . .” was past, but was the rest of the sentence in past tense or present tense? Because I just looked it up, and if something in the past tense continues in the present, it’s okay to have a present perfect, which would make “has shrunk” correct. But if something in past tense continues in another point of the past, you would need a past prefect verb, which would mean D is incorrect because you need “had shrunk.”</p>
<p>I think it was E = no error for thieves</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure it was homogeneous because the first passage said something about look-alike stucco houses and the second passage said something similar, but I forgot the exact phrase.</p>
<p>@Diatomiclove,</p>
<p>I’m not really great with grammar, but I remember that later on in the question, they used the word “showed”</p>
<p>In a sense it could have been homogeneous, but both authors seemed to regard them both more as outdated. One of the authors did so by completely bashing the utter existence of sprawlings, while the other acknowledged that they didn’t have many uses besides tourism.</p>
<p>Both passages used “cookie-cutter” to describe the houses, and passage 2 even said something else like “same-looking”. It’s almost certainly homogeneous.</p>
<p>Now we have another debated question apparently.</p>
<p>I chose homogeneous.</p>
<p>This isn’t good :(</p>
<p>^those don’t mean outdated</p>
<p>It has to be outdated…</p>
<p>The definition of concession is:a thing that is granted, esp. in response to demands; a thing conceded.
The definition of retraction is: draw or pull (something) back or back in
Which makes me think the answer is retract for that one question about the mars thing?</p>
<p>Do we know all of these answers for sure, or is this all just speculation?</p>
<p>I think I put outdated as well.</p>
<p>^Speculation.</p>
<p>can someone please answer my question lol…how many can i get wrong with one omitted on the CR to get a 650…and 700…??</p>
<p>gah no one has answered this question:
the combining sentences for the improving paragraph?
it was the last question on the page with the passage.</p>
<p>It can’t be outdated because the whole point of the second passage was to show that although the urban sprawl development was disliked by the current generation, usually trends disliked by the current generation are admired (forgot the specific word they used) by future generations. So it can’t be outdated if future generations will appreciate and admire the urban sprawl development. </p>
<p>And if they used the word “showed” for the thieves question, then I’m pretty sure D was incorrect because past tense in the beginning (“failed to sell” or something like that) and past tense at the end of the sentence (“showed”) means you would need a past perfect verb, in that case “had shrunk.”</p>
<p>The second passage did not see them as outdated. This generation rejects it, it’s the norm for the next generation, and the generation after that will revere it. Or something like that. The answer was definitely not outdated.</p>
