<p>@fhwchris can u give abit of info on the sea creature one? I cant recall anything from it.</p>
<p>Hmm…I’m not too sure about how many I chose but I think they were 3. Oh well…</p>
<p>i think its uninformed, the question was why the handlers where untold.</p>
<p>the last one is correct, because that second elefant, don’t know her name, learned painting when she was held in captive</p>
<p>don’t remember the other questions, but also put deliberately paint somewhere :D</p>
<p>@zackzm it’s from the bioluminescence short passage about sea creatures being able to hide…the first question is “what is the purpose of the passage?” something like that…</p>
<p>About the comic question,isn’t the author of the 2nd passage mocking the people who think that comics are legitimate art form?Didn’t he say something like,“Comics lack respect”?</p>
<p>sea creature:</p>
<p>first answer might benefit</p>
<p>second answer the one with paradoxial, cause the passage says something like: doesn’t it sound foolish to hide in the dark with a lamp</p>
<p>@fhwchris:</p>
<ul>
<li>Unnamed numerous</li>
<li>don’t remember</li>
<li>deliberately painted</li>
<li>Don’t remember
-first question-might benefit</li>
</ul>
<p>this is what I wrote. how correct is I don’t know!</p>
<p>comic passage:</p>
<p>I think both passages say that comics are an art form. The first passage talks more about the students and the second author compares comics with novels and operas and suggests that they are all art forms.</p>
