The first story, about that company the Battles. The first question was like what was the main focus and I put reflections about his role or something..

Battlebrick

i felt like reflections about his role was only discussed in the last paragraph. i put something along the lines of it was about the state of the company in the past, the present, and future.

Iris0208

Reflection about company's past and something about his position in the current position ro something.

statlanta

It was all about his role. The state of the company would have included data, numbers, stock, etc. He talked about how he was different in that he didn't care much and how he was different from his father and how his girlfriend felt.

Damn! OH the cork story! What did you guys put for the one that said, cork was distinctly different from this. It was either bulk, wood, or trunk. I put wood I think

Iris0208

That one I didn't know that I skipped until the proctor called time .
So I put D, which ended up being energy content T_T.

One mistake there.

Tank was the narrator's dad, right?

statlanta

It was wood.

Battlebrick

Tank = narrators dad
3 most important qualities = low density, something with cellulose, something else

I know that the Portugal question was that it supplied half of the world.

Iris0208

Yep!
Other than passage one, where I made one mistake, I thought the others were easy.

statlanta

Does everyone agree that the BattleBrick passage was about a man reflecting on his role rather than the state of the company?

Iris0208

That's what I put.
Choice A. Right?

Battlebrick

i got state of the company. i guess you could make an argument for both.

On the Science passage, What did you put for the narrator's tone? I put admiring.
