<li>100% moistened. Leaves get moistened AFTER a FOG.
Question: What was the exact terra cotta sentence?</li>
</ol>
<p>@Smarty: I’ll bet you a “public” confession of incorrectness. Whoever is wrong about the “consumed/moistened” question will post on this thread the following when scores are released:</p>
<p>“I was completely, totally, utterly wrong. I refused to listen to reason, and I obstinately expressed my support of (insert wrong answer). I am, unlike my username says, not (insert “studious” or “a smarty”).”</p>
<p>Do we have a bet?</p>
<p>I like this idea. Do it.</p>
<p>Getting feisty over here…</p>
<p>Anyone remember #26 #27 # 28 #29 #30 in writing?
I got 1 no error.</p>
<p>@student 098 yeah, i got the same, do u guys remember what the answer to number 20 was in writing</p>
<p>Are you guys all sure about the terracotta question? I remember it ended in “,no two of which are exactly alike.” Wouldn’t that function as a independent clause be cause two would be the subject and are would be the verb? And considering that what came before the comma was also an independent clause, the comma would be splicing the sentence and that would be the error? Thanks guys!</p>
<p>Anybody care to score me?
-0 Math
-1 Writing
-4 or -5 CR (moistened vs. consumed)
This is Raw Score by the way.
Thanks in advance :D</p>
<p>There was a small paragraph that talked about an artist and in it he compared his work to that of a blues singer. Does anybody remember the answer for what the main point of the paragraph was? I remember being stuck between two answers and choosing something along the lines of “an explanation of the origins of a concept”</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the question from the energy/fuel paragraphs where it asked about what the one part of the text said with the “electric powered…travels 3 times as far as a combustible engine car.” ? I remember I was between two answers, either 1. comparing the battery powered car to gas powered car or 2. this showed advantages of a battery powered car. Does anyone know the answer to this one??</p>
<p>I was trying to decide between those two also! I think I put that it showed to advantages of a fuel cell car in one aspect compared to a gas-powered car or something along those lines.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember what the diagram for the parallel lines question was? I remember there was a 30 degree angle and a 20 degree angle, and that the answer choices were like, 130, 120, 110, 70 and 50, but I can’t remember what the diagram looked like. I guessed on that one and missed.</p>
<p>Regarding the: “tabernacle” question: Is it certain that the answer was referring to sensory qualities? From my recollection, the wording was more fanciful than “I liked the way it sounded,” and the proceeding statements implied that the author just enjoyed learning words, not necessarily for sensory value.</p>
<p>Oh, and I messed up on the Mode/Median question, which makes me mad.</p>
<p>@geneti
None of the other choices makes sense for that question though.</p>
<p>Fair enough: it’s still a bit iffy, in my opinion, but it’s probably the best answer. I believe my answer was something to do with the history behind the words.However, I’m pretty sure that was more the entire section than the excerpt. </p>
<p>Oh, and for what it’s worth: I believe it was moistened, as the question was referring to the effect of the fog on the land, not the fog’s spread. </p>
<p>From what I can tell, I got a -1 / -2 CR, -1 /-2 Math, and -0 / -1 writing. (the number behind the / is from adding an extra question off for any questions I made a mistake on, that I’m unsure of.) </p>
<p>I would appreciate it if someone was willing to grade this score.</p>
<p>I found the two passages:</p>
<p>"Standing in the gateway one sees two worlds, the brown and lifeless valley to one side and on the other side the lush, emerald-green valley watered by the thick fogs and mists of the Urubamba River far below the city ruins. "</p>
<p>Clearly, from this, it is MOISTENED.</p>
<p>AND, from the other passage about language:</p>
<p>"I can remember the lush spring excitement of language in childhood. Sitting in church, rolling it around my mouth like marbles- tabernacle and Pharisee and parable, trespasses and Babylon and covenant. "</p>
<p>Clearly, from this, the answer is SENSORY.</p>
<p>@geneti
The answer to the church words question is definitely “sensory qualities”. The passage talked about the narrator “rolling the words around in her mouth”. </p>
<p>I also think the answer is “moistened”. This seems to be the most debated question this year.</p>
<p>Surprisingly, I haven’t seen much discussion of the math question with the table of numbers and the mode/median clues. I think I got that one right, but I don’t remember it well.</p>
<p>Edit: Good work, jjatty! That’s exactly how I remember it sounding. You beat me to it. :)</p>

<p>I don’t think that was right-- pretty sure it was “a description of a creative philosophy,” or something like that. The author talked more about her feelings for art in general than that specific concept (or its origin) mentioned in the first sentences. </p>
<p>But I don’t think we’ve debated this one yet, so any other opinions?</p>
<p>@juliwang</p>
<p>This is how I remember that 130 degree question. The horizontal lines are parallel, so alternating interior angles are congruent. 180-30-20=130.</p>

<p>@emeraldevi</p>
<p>Dang. That was the other answer I was considering, and I ended up changing it from the “philosophy” answer at the last minute.</p>
<p>@emeraldEvi</p>
<p>Agreed.
“description of a personal creative philosophy” or something very similar to that is what I put.</p>
