<p>@Almost: Since he was asked to go to other countries to help with traffic problems, the analogy with the man who was invited to other states makes more sense.</p>
<p>@chachaseeds
no i put methodology for that.</p>
<p>shoot… i went with “international celebritys meeting with individual fan” cuz the paragraph mentioned about his global celebrity and boated off to Paris for solving their local problems…</p>
<p>@Angel</p>
<p>The thing I don’t understand is this:
The guy, I don’t remember his name, was a traffic engineer. However, when he traveled to other places to do whatever he needed to do, he also took on the role of a social engineer. So how is that not similar if not identical to the official working energy becoming a science teacher?</p>
<p>@chacha: No consensus on that questions - I put methodology for that as well.</p>
<p>I can’t believe I missed the “there is no general consensus on the issue” one about bicycle lanes… How did I overlook that?</p>
<p>@wp I also put celebrity lol
@ Angel I think its reservation because the 2nd author tried hard to incorporate the element of fair play.</p>
<p>@Almost: I feel that that shifts too far to the social aspect; when traveling to other countries he mostly went to help regulate traffic rather than the social aspect - that was just an addition.</p>
<p>@Chacha: Yeah, it could be. I’m not sure anymore since I have forgotten most of the passages…</p>
<p>Guys, I’m goin off to bed. I think I ended up with a low 2100’s. Oh well…that was my 1st SAT</p>
<p>Ok the answer was</p>
<p>They traded with villages</p>
<p>The answer WAS NOT </p>
<p>They shared land with nieghbors or some variation of that – thanks jimmy pod</p>
<p>It was reservation because it said that it could be used in a good or bad way.</p>
<p>@Chacha: Don’t worry so much(: It’s out of your hands now~ Good night!</p>
<p>Hey guys sorry to impeded on your discussionbut I don’t think voluptuous is the right answer. Everyone I asked after testing at center and a kid got a 240 said it was pedantic?</p>
<p>but idk someone explain?</p>
<p>Pedantic is flat out wrong… It means overly concerned with formalities, usually when writing or teaching. That’s just NOT the answer…=P</p>
<p>@Rohit: I put pedantic as well, but I never even considered voluptuous, and it’s hard to confirm without knowing the sentence. Do you remember? Consensus does point toward voluptuous though…</p>
<p>Nah pretty sure it was voluptuous…pedantic means overly concerned with scholarly matter in a kind of didactic manner</p>
<p>Sentence said some author’s work was characterized by sensuous imagery and luxuriant diction.</p>
<p>Voluptuous means of, relating to, or characterized by luxury or sensual pleasure.</p>
<p>not pedantic lol. Look at the root if you don’t know it/think pedagogue. it was voluptous or harmonious. I thought voluptous tied into the “sensuous” imagery but i debated between the two</p>
<p>the question mentioned the author’s “luxuriant diction” and something else about his writing as being “sensual” (forgot the exact words). </p>
<p>pedantic means “ostentatious in one’s learning.”</p>
<p>voluptuous means “derived from gratification of the senses: voluptuous pleasure.” </p>
<p>therefore, voluptuous fits the best. there is nothing in that sentence indicating that the author’s prose was being showy about learning.</p>
<p>Yeah, voluptuous makes more sense in that regards.</p>
<p>I just connected pedantic’s sense of “displaying academic learning” with the “luxuriant diction.”</p>
<p>WHat about the passage that had to do with the cultural impact and criticisms of Disneyland and Disneyworld? Experimental by any chance? That was a hard one…</p>
