<p>Conniption, Lol! Are you kidding? The speed of sound? More speedier? Please go back to middle school.</p>
<p>You’re right. the quackery question dealt with balderdash, not drudgery. the answer to the drudgery question was inclusive and selection.</p>
<p>See post 718!</p>
<p>@alargeblackman14</p>
<p>*facepalm
But I feel like I would have noticed that…it was the second to last of the identifying errors and I’d be real surprised if it was that apparent. You could very well be right, I just really really hope I’m not that stupid.</p>
<p>Wait @ conniption…were there two about air and water??</p>
<p>Were there?
I remember one of em was the second to last about the speed of sound through gases and liquids. it was tricky because one of the answer choices had awkward phrasing, like “speedier/slower than that of liquids” or whatever.</p>
<p>I just remember one of them had more speedier and that’s quite clearly wrong so i chose it.</p>
<p>Then I’m pretty sure that’s a different question. I’d be shocked if a question that late had such a flagrant error.</p>
<p>@connipition10</p>
<p>The question was a lot more complicated than how alargeblackman14 is portraying it to be. There was no “more speedier” in the phrase. There is currently a dispute between a redundancy of the use of “that of speed” and “no error”. “no error” is most likely correct. Actually, no error is probably 90% correct.</p>
<p>Original phrase (or as close as it gets)</p>
<p>Since sound waves travel faster in air than they do in water, the speed of sound in air is faster than that of sound in water.</p>
<p>No, the question read:</p>
<p>Because yada yada, the speed of sound in water is greater than that of sound in air.</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>Because yada yada, the speed of sound in water is greater than that in air.</p>
<p>^beat me to it for the grammar, but speed in water is greater than in air BTW</p>
<p>@ jimmypod, Most of the information you have told people in this blog is incorrect. There was a question referring to more speedier. You’ve missed it. Thank you.</p>
<p>Ok. That’s a relief.
Thyme to get back to the actual Critical Reading stuff.
Questions?</p>
<p>The question was basically asking you to simplify the phrase:</p>
<p>The speed of sound in air is greater than the speed of sound in water. </p>
<p>By using “that” as a pronoun for “the speed”(of sound) I circled “than that of sound” but I now believe it to be “no error”.</p>
<p>I think this issue should be discussed in the writing discussion thread.</p>
<p>@alargeblackman14 I know that the question that you were referring to and the question that connipition10 was referring to were separate questions.</p>
<p>Yeah, @ Conniption…did anyone get one about a scientist and the answer was “Describe details of a finding” ?</p>
<p>yes, most definitely. now can you guys please see post 718 and we can figure out which sections didn’t count?
=D</p>
<p>I think I remember the scientist question; do you remember any other answer choices, or the question?</p>
<p>Wait, for the Catalhuyuk one, why is it traded or shared land?</p>
<p>The implication that you had to support was if the Catal actually farmed in distant lands. Why would trading or sharing have anything to do with farming in distant lands?</p>
<p>Was that from the circadian rhythm/internal time clock thang passage?</p>
<p>@future: If you look through the thread that question has been answered a couple of times by now.</p>
<p>Regardless, if they shared land with their neighbors, that would imply that the land was between them and a neighboring village, thus, in a distant (or semi-distant) land. (AKA not where they live)</p>
<p>I still don’t really see the logic in that. We’re supposed to assume the neighboring village has fields far enough away to be considered “distant?” And did it specifically say the neighbors were farming.</p>
