<p>it was explained earlier in the thread, just looked back</p>
<p>For the humorous/earnest one (about the hikers), one answer was also conversational/scholarly. What's wrong with that? I thought both options worked...</p>
<p>And in the first hiker passage, one question asked why he included the quote "Sounds neat! Let's do it!" One of the options was because of his eagerness to learn about the natural world... but I don't think that was the right answer. Any thoughts?</p>
<p>OO....thats actually not that hard..i mad e it too difficult....this sux...i got 3 wrong on the grid-ins and one was because i for go that stupid triangle rule that we learned in sixth grade that i read up on LAST NIGHT....jeez..well...there goes national merit</p>
<p>contumacious, I don't know why I did this, but I think I screwed that question over.
I put conversational/formal or whatever, don't laugh. :(
I left it blank and went back when I had like a few secs left and bubbled that in.</p>

</p>
<p>I think the answer was "blithe approach to an arduous task".</p>
<p>contumacious, i put that one. I now get a feeling that is wrong..is it?</p>
<p>haha, I put conversational/scholarly, too. @#$&^! I'm so mad at myself. There goes the 240 I was shooting for :(</p>
<p>the answer was not euphemism lol for the sentence completion</p>
<p>it was ORATION </p>
<p>explicit means clear and to the point
oration menas fancy language</p>
<p>who agrees
pwned</p>
<p>snowia-- awwwwesome, that's what I put.</p>
<p>innoc3ntboy12-- what was the rest of the sentence? I don't remember. I just remember that I put euphemism >_<</p>
<p>do you guys remember what u put on that korean reading. what was that legacy question</p>
<p>explicit means clear and to the point </p>
<p>euphemism- the substitution of a mild, indirect, or vague expression for one thought to be offensive, harsh, or blunt</p>
<p>although contemporaries speak explicity, people still engage int he practice of oration</p>

<p>i thoughgt it was the blithe approach to an arduaous task....</p>
<p>does how other people do in your state affect your score?</p>
<p>i am positive it is oration a euphemism is not exactly vague</p>
<p>and what does something offensive have to do with being explicit</p>
<p>um...i don't think so innocentboy. formal language doesn't imply unclear language... also, a euphemism uses unclear language because it masks the true meaning of something by replacing it with more mild language. that seems like it would fit in pretty well to contradict "explicit" language</p>
<p>plus it was one of the last questions, it couldn't be an easy answer such as oration</p>
<p>legacy question - </p>
<p>i put it was impt to know one's legacy as in..</p>
<p>to know a deeper sense of self-awareness or smth</p>
<p>oh yea, it's euphemism, not oration.</p>
<p>wow there goes my 240 god</p>
<p>that's what i put. I'm pretty sure that's the right one (kevster)</p>
