<h1>1 and 2 on the barbara jordan passage, i think i got different answers…but i’m not sure. anyone else? the rest of your answers seem mostly right</h1>
<p>also biofuels #2…im not sure that’s correct.</p>
<p>unambigous positive?
The general consensus on the chat room was commerical instead of humantarian.
Also I agree with Monero for purpose of the 4th paragraph. I felt that the author was trying to advise us. the very first sentence of that paragraph was something like "So write, don’t be afraid to… " can’t remember exact wording but it was along those lines.</p>
<p>As far as I can remember, I got all the same answered as you did. </p>
<p>Guys, what were the experimental passages? I totally can’t remember.
Was it the one about the writer whose mother demands a biography? I didn’t like that one.</p>
<p>Have we agreed, by the way, that the experimental was reading?</p>
<p>@SuperCuber
You realize they release 3 versions of the test, one with each type of experimental?</p>
<p>For the biofuels #1, i put “origins of a movement”. is “engaging anecdote” the general consensus?</p>
<p>for the promises of biofuels question, i put “accurate prediction”. The promises in passage 2 were all economic successes. And the first sentence of the 3rd paragraph in passage 1 (i think) explicitly stated that all the benefits of biofuels were commercial.</p>
<p>for homes purpose: i put metaphor of building a house = building a friendship (idk)</p>
<p>@bob - I did not… hmmm. This is so very annoying. </p>
<p>And yes, I’ve read through most of the pages on this thread and it has mostly been anecdote.</p>
<p>the plant one described them as having “diminutive purple flowers” and “long, straggly stalks” and said because of that, they wouldn’t appear to be a “biological miracle”</p>
<p>Does that make them unappealing or undistinguished? i dunno.</p>

<p>i chose acuity because i was thinking acumen (personal taste/judgment), which sort of worked. UGH. it was definitely animus (hostility, ill feeling)</p>
<p>I said undistinguished, because I think I remember the passage saying something along the lines of “you couldn’t tell that it was a super freaking amazing plant with the ability to not kill plants like it.”</p>
<p>can someone remind me what is the question for the undistinuished?</p>
<p>It said something like …based on the passage, the author implies that the sea rocket(?) is ___. Indistinguished was the answer, because nowhere did it say it was ugly (unappealing) but it did say it didn’t look like it was no biological miracle.</p>
<p>But I don’t remember the exact wording, all I know is I thought indistinguished was the only answer.</p>
<p>@monepo thx man. OMG, I still cant remeber what I chose. For the bio one, I remember I am really ****ing struggle with the relationship question. I choose a answer contains the words like passage two think biofuel is one of the energy solution. I think this answer correspond to the texture bext. anyone put the same one with me or have other ideas?</p>
<p>@ Dukedream did u pick “one criticizes and the other presents as a potential solution”? Yeah that’s what some ppl put…idk I put the one that contained that he talked about overstating the effects but not sure.</p>
<p>!!!yep I also put the one with overstating. I donot think that one should be criticize cuz criticize is too strong. These two passages are both relatively balanced. I am pretty sure that.</p>
<p>wait I am a little confused. In fact I choose the one criticizes and the other presents as a potential solution" cuz I remember the potential solution deeply, I really put one with that. And another question seems I chose the exaggerated or overstating I forgot, but meaning I remember is that the author of passage2 think the proponent is over sanguine. And there are defects of the proponents’ idea</p>
<p>I feel like the critical reading section is ridiculous, so many answers can be argued for either way… Whats the opinion on the curve here? I feel like it is going to be a good one, though Ive been wrong before.</p>
<p>What were some other answer choices for the flower question?
What’s the final conensus on unambiguous positive? Most people said commercial but not humanitarian…
For the question about purpose, was the word metaphor part of the question? Or a separate also.
Also, what’s the final consensus for the purpose of the fourth paragraph? Was
It to advise others or to talk about his feelings or whatever</p>
<p>The only 2 likely choices for the flower question were: “unseemly” and “undistinguished”. i do not believe “unappealing” was an answer choice, nor did the passage imply that the flower was ugly, just ordinary. therefore undistinguished was the best answer</p>
<p>unambiguous positive seems correct in the context of the first paragraphs (which was asked by the question), because the author did not yet discuss the negative feedback on biofuels</p>
<p>In the italicized blurb for the war passage, it says how the author talks about both his personal life and war, and therefore i put “shift to war” for the fourth paragraph question</p>
