<p>hey what did you get for the one with man developing fire slowly and time goes through advances that are offset by _____. I thought it was regression at first but... how can you regress? wouldn't that mean unlearning fire???</p>

<p>btw i put contemplative or that other word that meant roughly thinking periods... for that one</p>

<p>i got his thinking was not relavant to most peoples daily lives or whatever..</p>

<p>spikypufferfish, thanks!</p>

<p>as of right now im at 3-4 wrong...what score is that?</p>

<p>does anyone remember answer choices for epidemiologists question?
i dont remember if i put contain and check</p>

<p>contain and check is correct</p>

<p>yeah but what were other answer choices?</p>

<p>Also, "play had trenchant- schematic" -> can anyone elaborate on that question.. I don't get why I dont remember..</p>

<p>play had trenchant- schematic
dont remebmer that one</p>

<p>Guy who had opinions but didn’t argue- Polemical -- yes, but there was another close choice, anybody remember?</p>

<p>Both passages acknowledge- potential time for contemplation -- what was the question here...</p>

<p>List of vital signs of Asian- thorough and systematic - anybody else... unsure about this one?</p>

<p>developmental changes in English language -- what was this question</p>

<p>Author two used examples of weird words-show how pound wasn’t accurate in his assertion --- other choices?</p>

<p>Dang... I seemed to have got a lot right, but there's a good chunk I seem to have gotten incorrect as well. :(</p>

<p>it is good that we have a list, but it should be verified by many people.
for example, there are like many around me with different answers for the tone asian parent's comment - innocent & amusing, thorough & systematic, or demoralizing & critical?</p>

<p>^spikypufferfish must be a memorizing savant. I can hardly recall even 5 questions from the WHOLE test</p>

<p>I put that the the parent's remark was systematic, since the author explicitly said something that the parents never failed to comment that she should try out for miss universe. I actually think the amsuing/innocent is a very tricky and close choice, but I changed my answer after some thorough reasoning (no overanalyzing. Just hunting to evidence in the +-5 sentences of the given sentence range</p>

<p>I agree with everything that spikypufferfish says except:</p>

<p>"List of vital signs of Asian- thorough and systematic", which I thought was humorous and innocence. It's debatable though. </p>

<p>And I don't really remember this one:</p>

<p>"Wrath of scholars- inevitable/understandable because of assertion “nearly literal”"</p>

<p>Or this one:</p>

<p>"Primary purpose of passages- historical works into modern language"</p>

<p>Good job spikypufferfish!</p>

<p>oh someone was severe because she upbraided people</p>

<p>i think this someone's name was wu</p>

<p>oh wait and charles dickens was an example of somebody who spoke out even more boldly than... smith did or whatever?
and they thought that smith was harmful to the social order ? </p>

<p>Anybody get those?</p>

<p>yeah i got the same</p>
