<p>moistened is correct-not consumed....</p>
<p>do remember some of the Sentence completions though</p>
<p>1) elite...latitude
2) prescient
3) uncorroborated....ephemeral
4) healing
5) resurgence..periphery
6) healing
7) altruism
8) periphery...resurgence
9) legislator
10) unoriginal</p>
<p>MODERATOR'S NOTE:</p>
<p>CC's server is having clock issues, so this post is out of order. StudiousMaximum was the OP, and post #2 is actually the first post of the thread.</p>
<p>Now that the “embargo” has been lifted (12PM on Saturday), we’re free to discuss this Wednesday’s PSAT. Post any questions/answers you can remember here.</p>
<p>Here are some of the questions that are being debated:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Moistened vs. Consumed (I chose moistened)</p></li>
<li><p>“continued federal support” vs. “whether federal support should” (I chose the former)</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Here are my answers to some of the harder math questions:</p>
<p>16: (3,1)
17: 22
18: 3x - 2
19: 12
20: II & III</p>
<p>36: 36
38: 1.55</p>
<p>I got two no errors for the error identification (terra cotta warriors and “creativity with which they were developed”) and chose “in contrast” for the last question.</p>
<p>As for critical reading, some of the harder sentence completions were “elite…latitude,” “uncorroborated…ephemeral,” and “prescient.”</p>
<p>Discuss away!</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Consumed. </p></li>
<li><p>Whether federal support should (but was a bit iffy)</p></li>
<li><p>LOL CB being a ■■■■■. When I bubbled it in, I was thinking of a ■■■■■ face ;D</p></li>
</ol>
<p>^ Mind justifying those answers? I don’t think consumed would be a synonym of “watered,” and the paragraph was comparing the “dry, lifeless” valley to the lively, green valley watered by the river. Moistened makes more sense in the context. As for the “whether” choice, it was too wordy, and the other choice was perfectly grammatical.</p>
<p>For the viola v. violin one, did the correct way to say it use the phrase “that of”?</p>
<p>On the federal support one, the second answer should be “whether art should be continued to be supported federally.”</p>
<p>Answers I can remember:</p>
<p>Critical Reading:
-“elite…latitude”
-“uncorroborated…ephemeral”
-moistened
-“they are deluding themselves”
-“unequivocal”
-energy independence is necessary even if it is not good for the environment
-“diffidence…aloof”
-“prescient”
-“altruism”
-“legislator” (lol)
-yield means produce
-patches means plots
-different zones of vegetation
-tabernacle = sensory qualities
-new years resolution wouldn’t change character
-“abandon her childish vocabulary”
-“relief”
-“ancient vocabulary perpetuated in everyday speech”
-blue guy = original
-“rattling chains” I put monkey riding on a tiger 
but pretty sure the former is correct
-“periphery”</p>

“in contrast”
terra cotta was no error</p>
<p>What was the blue guy??</p>
<p>@StudiousMaximus, when I was reading, it was like the fog covered the mountains, and I thought consumed as in figuratively blocked the mountain. IDK /: We had this argument before, and I’m just marking my answer as incorrect</p>
<p>Trivialized…exasperated</p>
<p>@biovball: Thanks for the compilation! I agree with everything you concluded was correct.</p>
<p>@kimmielouie: I believe he meant “blues” guy (the musician).</p>
<p>@momof2ky: Why does it say your time is 4:21am? What an annoying glitch.</p>
<p>Which one was the terra cotta one? Like do you remember the actual sentence? DO YOU REMEMBER WHICH NUMBER?</p>
<p>What was the product of x and y question? I don’t remember ever getting 75 as an answer…</p>
<p>Wait why is the blue guy original? I though it was to show parallel between the art and music. idk if they said anything about original… But I picked the one that compared… CRAP I FORGOT MOST OF MY ANSWERS!</p>
<p>@triassiic: It ended with “no two of which are exactly alike.”</p>
<p>Was it one of the last two?</p>
<p>There was a question about jazz/blues that showed the parallel between art and music.<br>
There was a sentence completion about a blues guitarist with I think the answer “imitate” and “an original.”</p>
<p>@triassiic: It was number 33.</p>
<p>The product question gave a few equations relating x and y and asked for the product of them. The answer was .75 or 3/4</p>
<p>The numberline was was
y = 3x-2 ?? Is that right?</p>
<p>And does anyone remember the sentence for elite/latitude or the answer choices?</p>
<p>Ooh, yeah, I got .75.</p>
<p>argh welp I got numeral question wrong, also probably the federally supported art one lol</p>
<p>pretty much all my other answers match up though-- from what I can remember which is actually not much at all</p>
<p>Can anyone elaborate a little bit on books question? I can’t remember it. Also math #18?</p>
<p>@Nicknicholas it was something like “In the authoritarian regime… opposition… engage in political activity” if that helps</p>
