<p>It doesn’t make sense because if you notice the Japanese girl is talking about her admired paintings later on. If she wants to be a sculptor why is she referring to the paintings??</p>

<p>what were the parenthetical remarks exactly? i dont remember what i put…</p>

<p>oh and last paragraph talked about how the girl fell in love right?</p>

<p>it said something about her considering to be a sculptor because of her frustrations. so i thought the frustration was the main point.</p>

<p>passage about alexander the great:</p>

<p>purpose was to show divergent views of alexander the great</p>

<p>the line question basically showed how alexander the great was obsessed with power</p>

<p>comedian passages:</p>

<p>both authors used personal voice</p>

<p>author of passage one would completely agree with quotation</p>

<p>attitudes were: p1 characterized the comedian’s efforts as futile, and auth of p2 admired the audacity of the comedian</p>

<p>“base” meant foundation in context</p>

<p>mars passages:</p>

<p>p1 was topographical, p2 was mineralogical</p>

<p>if more carbonates were found it would directly support p1</p>

<p>information passage:</p>

<p>the one about erasmus shows shifting attitudes</p>

<p>the “contemporary dweller” shows worldly awareness</p>

<p>the “desert island” meant that the less books there were, the more people would appreciate them</p>

<p>he cites examples of a type of reading</p>

<p>the painting passage:</p>

<p>first two paragraphs talk about how she wanted to be a sculptor/ (being debated) she was frustrated with her work</p>

<p>the parenthetical sentence was about how she admired mishigi’s paintings</p>

<p>she had a desire to create powerful art</p>

<p>she wanted to immortalize herself in art</p>

<p>she liked mishigi’s art because it displayed vitality</p>

<p>last para elaborated on how she fell in love</p>

<p>The paragraphs were about how she was struggling with art. At the end, they put like 1-2 sentences about sculpting as a segue to the fact that she chose not to.</p>

<p>this looks pretty solid</p>

<p>More lists:</p>

<p>The bacteria question 2%: Most bacteria slipped into the country
Mars question: Both evidence are conducive to life on earth.
Btw what’d you get if you got 2 wrong on math?</p>

<p>Most people were unaware that they were helping spread tree disease or w.e</p>

<p>The bacteria question 2%: Most bacteria slipped into the country</p>

<p>it was belied, not subdued!</p>

<ol>
<li>volatile…subdued</li>
</ol>

<p>I challange this. It’s about Mt. Helen’s dormancy right? </p>

<p>Paraphrase of SC: Although Mt. Helen’s the most explosive volcano, its dormancy belies (contradicts) its violent nature.</p>

<p>she wanted to immortalize herself in art</p>

<p>I thought it was she wanted to create an art that later generations could imitate…</p>

<p>I don’t think so because because she never talks about wanting other people to immitate her. She did talk about painting works that’d bring her to life.</p>

<p>totally belies. to subdue is to lessen. the inactivity is a pretense! it masks its actual nature. belie = disguise.</p>

<p>to powerbomb: that sounds right, but it does NOT agree with the passage</p>

<p>@ kscnoko: i remember trying to choose between the two, and i chose volatile b/c it made sense</p>

<p>i don’t think you worded it correctly</p>

<p>she wants to be immortal. its states that she wants to be remembered by future generations</p>

<p>Most people were unaware that they were helping spread tree disease or w.e</p>

<p>I think it is belie because its dormancy contradicted(or misrepresented) its explosive nature. I was stuck between that and subdue by chose the one with belie because subdue didn’t make sense to me.</p>

<p>on the writing section with calcium stoking the body or whatever, was that no error???</p>

<p>isnt the pathogen 2% one, that there is a lot of them or something like that?</p>
