<p>**<strong><em>**PASSAGE: Gossip and Internet </em></strong></p>

<p>~~~I dont remember any lol</p>

<p>What was the gossip question about “What did lines [x] show about Drudge”? It was also talking about the Washington Post. I was between explaining why Drudge was so popular and the complexity of gossip on the internet.</p>

<p>@Mango: Do you remember any of the choices for the apple and bee coevolution question?</p>

<p>i still think genuine is actual
it’s “what does SUBJECT mean in the context” not object</p>

<p>Pecadillo was experimental.</p>

<p>Also, I disagree with melancholy. I think it was strategy of the passage.</p>

<p>Drudge was the complexity of gossip cyberwhatever.</p>

<p>Why isn’t the genuine one “natural”?</p>

<p>It was not melancholy. I put that at first, but it just sounds right and has no proof.
I changed it to spurs an interrogation. Because after that line there were 2 paragraphs going on about how she instantly interrogated her mother asking her why SHE didn’t eat curry chicken and what not. And when she became a vegetarian.</p>

<p>I think this was on my experimental reading but does anyone remember a question about a biologist researching the speed of a bee with like big hind legs. Was the purpose of the passage to explain a discovery? i think this was experimental but I’m just wondering.</p>
