<p>Yes it is, the others just wont give up, it clearly bolded, in capital letters said Which of the following MUST ALWAYS be true</p>
<p>The exact number for NC doesn’t really matter. It was less than one, that part is not argued. If NC is less than 1, and there are 4.15 acres left to be accounted for, then there has to be at least five other states. If there were 4 states, at least one of them would have to be greater than 1 acre. And if that were true, it would’ve been above NC on the graph. Therefore, AT LEAST 5 states are below NC to account for the last 4.15</p>
<p>either way, I am filling a complaint, because it shouldn’t be so subjective, or the wording should have been better</p>
<p>After all, this is supposed to be a math question, not how well you can read convoluted pictographs, and poorly worded questions</p>
<p>i also encourage everyone else to file a complaint about the question, because as you can see there are valid arguments for both answers</p>
<p>It is the SAT Reasoning test. With a little math and some reasoning, you end up at the correct answer. However, I agree, it sucks.</p>

<p>How do you file a complaint? That website you posted isn’t working for me…</p>
<p>it is an email address, not a website, the website is below</p>

<p>The cotton problem isn’t subjective. The fact is that III works because it is impossible to use four states since each would need to produce >1 mil. Since NC was <1 mil, III had to work.</p>
<p>That’s what college board wanted you to see, not .6 or .75 or .8. Just that NC was <1 mil (part II, not by mistake) and that 4 wouldn’t work because of that.</p>
<p>Exactly what I was trying to get across^^^</p>
<p>I think everyone’s misunderstanding qwerty. We all agree that there must be >5 states. What qwerty is trying to say is that statement III said that must be >=5 states, which makes the statement NOT ALWAYS true.
I chose all three, and I think the wording is a bit unfair in this question.</p>
<p>qwerty, do you remember any grammar question (find the error) that you answered A because " several months ago " was missing a comma at the end of the prepositional phrase?</p>
<p>No that wasn’t it Several months ago my dog died… I don’t remember that question. And guys remember more sentence completions…and stuff. Also, no…it was 1 and 2. If you look at it, and calculated each of them, NC was EXACTLY .75. And I’m sorry to say that if you did the calculations, everything added to 10.75. Now, it wanted 4.15 more, if you divide, 4.15 by 5 you get it to be .83, this is by far more and therefore cannot be a border for at least, it should have been at least 6. Step by step by step argument. You cannot tell me it looked like this when I calculated it out myself.</p>
<p>@jiggoha exactly wat i meant</p>
<p>at qwerty, if it was what could be true, then they would have a case. Wasn’t there one more question in that nanima passage?</p>
<p>@ Agrasin could you give some more detail i dont remember that question</p>
<p>dude how could you have calculated NC to be 0.75??? There is no way you can say all the cotton pics under 1 are the same. One of them could have been 0.65 and the one for NC could have been 0.85. You can’t make assumptions like that.</p>
<p>Did we ever settle between soley and fundamentally for the meaning of “simply” in that one passage?</p>
<p>yeah didn’t we just decide it was fundamentally? I guess I thought he meant simply unworkable as just like completely…and didn’t se e how ANY of the answer choices worked but yeah fundamentally i suppose :/</p>
<p>Actually, looking back to it, I think simply was solely guys. Look it up on the merriam webster… it says merely just…only… and solely means merely just only.</p>
