<p>desigirl</p>

<p>A lot left to fill in but here it is so far</p>

<p>Passage</p>

<p>Graveyard, policeman, landlord passage</p>

<p>The police officer was polite
Cold-blooded Rational
Another meaning in context: depends
Why does the author use something something something for lines ??-??. Answer was foreshadow
Author was captivated by Mrs.Alexander
Mrs.Alexander was proud and aloof
Author was contented</p>

<p>Blogs
Both authors talk about… Commenting on contemporary practices
Passage 1 talks about all the benefits of a blog, and passage 2 speaks of it in ambivalence
Both authors think… That bloggers put private things on blogs.</p>

<p>Indian singer</p>

<p>The passage views the singer in ‘awe’</p>

<p>Traffic lights</p>

<p>Underscored the need for more car laws.
The traffic engineers gained apperciable influence.
The author uses morroco to Montana to suggest that… Traffic lights/laws had become standardized</p>

<p>I had an experimental writing section. It sucked hard because I got like 7 E’s in the Identify error section, and I never saw so many ‘No Errors’ as the answer. I was freaking out throughout most of the test.</p>

<p>Passage 1 talks about all the benefits of a blog, and passage 2 speaks of it in ambivalence.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure this isn’t right. Passage 1 talked about the negatives, and passage 2 was crapping on blogs pretty hard.</p>

<p>And there was a question about a passerby walker, I said passage 2 thought it was accurate.</p>

<p>-stubborn girl was obdurate
-something was prescient
-something was volumptous or something
I put foreshadowing for something
-progression
-something proud and aloof
-something was foreshadowing
-However, did NOT put admired her style </p>

<p>I thought CR was much harder than the practice tests…</p>

<p>I put fluent… evasiveness.</p>

<p>I thought the author didn’t like ms alexander’s company</p>

<p>Cyno, passage 1 was praising blogs. He was speaking of all the good things, and comparing it to a house. He did say sometimes a house can get wild. I don’t think I worded the answer for that question correctly, but it went something like that.</p>

<p>@t1, I saw most people put captivated the author (including me), so that’s why I put that as the answer choice. Remember the answers I chose are answers that the majority of us agreed on, they may or may not be right.</p>

<p>for the blogs…what did u get for the private stranger? i put inexperience or somethign like that</p>

<p>@cynosaur</p>

<p>Passage 1 lauded blogs as a means to communicate and express. Passage two railed on the blogs, only to admit he liked them in the last sentence of his passage.</p>

<p>@Desi</p>

<p>The stranger is an accurate depiction of the reader.</p>

<p>can u guys add more onto the list? dont forget the sentence comp.</p>

<p>^^t1nspire same here.</p>

<p>Drinking her in her mind(forgetting) and smiling politely(showing indifference) suggested that the author did not like her company. Plus, ms alexander was described as a total pretentious woman in that passage.</p>

<p>eek. I’m scared to see my Cr score. This test was so rough.</p>

<p>@desigirl, can you remember anymore of the question? I remember the words ‘private stranger’ but I can’t remember what it asked for specifically. I think private strangers may have been the answer choice, cause blog readers were strangers learning about someones life.</p>

<p>@jimmy
Is CR your best or worst section? The speaker drank her in because of her new hairstyle and bold nail polish, her quiet and superior demeanor. She enjoyed Anderson’s style.</p>

<p>which section was experimental?</p>

<p>i think i put like what does passage 2 say about passage 1 that states something about a private stranger…i put that it was intrusion into experience lol (not inexperience sorry about that)</p>

<p>She said shortly after that she was “fascinated” with her.</p>

<p>@desigirl, yea I’m still adding.</p>

<p>Ok did like no one have the nixon / cold war passage?? ***??</p>
