<p>the one about the lady in africa and the biography and myth thing</p>

<p>Yeah, I put youthful adventure.</p>

<p>for the purpose of passage 1 for the gmo's, was it to warn of the risks of gmo's</p>

<p>and i think the other beach question was something about how the beach was nice even though it didnt have all of the traditional sandy sunny beachy qualities.....something like that, right? hopefully someone remembers the exact answer choice better than i do....</p>

<p>jadore_isabella, and the second one was to ... ??</p>

<p>for the question.... what would the author of passage two think about the author in passage one's reference to the "risks". Was the answer to that "acceptable... because they(GMO's) were very beneficial"?</p>

<p>yes, it was to warn of GMO risks</p>

<p>yeah wbapwo i put that also.</p>

<p>i was deciding between "slight" and "acceptable" but i put acceptable.</p>

<p>i forgot what the exact answer choice was for passage 2, but it was probaby like to promote it or something</p>

<p>passage 2 view the "risks" posed by passage 1-- i put the slight, recent development</p>

<p>I don't think he mentioned anything about it being a recent development</p>

<p>hmm, i actually put the one where it said that they were backed by extensive research ("slight"), simply because the author of passage 2 made it seem like there were no risks to GMOs (because there were already so many farmers using it successfully)</p>

<p>no.....i dont think so...it said something about "slight, because there has been extensive research done" or something like that.....but passage two didnt really say anything about research....so i put "acceptable"</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure I put acceptable.</p>

<p>I also put "slight" because the author of passage 2 dismissed the presence of "immeasurable risks"</p>

<p>wasn't the acceptable answer, because it was for financial benefits?</p>

<p>i put slight</p>

<p>i thought from teh progress in 2002 for farmers supported it, i don't know</p>

<p>Well, the author of passage 2 presented a number of statistics in the beginning, if that could be considered "research"....</p>

<p>the passage doesn't mention recent research.
However, benefits are mentioned, so I put the choice about the benefits</p>

<p>yeah he said that the food was so similar to nature that it wasnt dangerous or something like that.</p>

<p>but he didnt really say "studies have been conducted..." or "research has shown...." or anything like that, so i picked acceptable.</p>

<p>for the writing section for one of the questions between 17-20 did you get a semicolon in the answer(there was only one with a semicolon). also, what was the one about the iceberg and its thickness</p>
