<p>zackzm you rmb the exact question for 9. discrimination?</p>

<p>So what did you guys think about the comic passages?I wasn’t really sure about my answers.</p>

<p>@ alyshehata ur proctor actually allows it? (as in test takers talking to each other while the papers are distributed) or is it done “discreetly”?</p>

<p>This far I got the same words!! nuance complex was actually a question from the passage, the one with the elephant where some guy talks about a shaded question.</p>

<p>In the text with the hikers in the desert. What was the answer to the question with the date? You know, the one where it says why the author mentions the date the tribe (forgot their name) disappeared?</p>

<p>i’ve got a few questions (mainly from the elephnat one):

  • unnamed numerous/uninformed/humble
  • regard as artistic/humorous
  • deliberately paint/intrigued by intricate patterns
  • not suitable because held in captive</p>

<p>(from the sea creature one)

  • first question: might benefit?</p>

<p>These were the passages:

  1. One paragraph on bioluminescence
  2. One paragraph on Post World War II junk food
  3. Mini-Pair on Comics (both authors were positive)
  4. Big Pair on artistic elephants
  5. Passage on Alu finding the Pasteur book
  6. Passage on a hiker who found an ancient artifact
  7. Passage on how poets increasingly write for themselves and not a broad market</p>

<p>The Newton-Shakespeare one was experimental.</p>

<p>Arcanis to show the age of those broken pieces or whatever</p>

<p>@ chris: I think it was the last question of that 8 question group, it said something like someone was noted for his discrimation because he negotiated some stuff with his ability to discern nuances.</p>

<p>Writing section: </p>

<p>No error on:</p>

<p>Beth like going to college in Arizona…

<p>@ chris: are u sure? I was kinda torn up between this and the answer that said how hard it would be to survive. Don’t even remember which I plugged in :D</p>

<p>the sentence completions are fine except it should be archetype…cos the sentence stresses that there have been conflicts for years throughout history so to claim that it is original is naive…</p>

<p>thanks ibro911 for the links</p>

<p>Do you know where we could find the original passage for the comic question ones?</p>

<p>I think there were three no errors in the writing section.</p>

<p>@Arcanis that’s what i filled in haha</p>

<p>@ibro, there are 2 according to the November SAT thread</p>

<p>anyone wanna share what they picked for these?
