for the "how would people who want to preserve vostok react after the whole was dug" I put FORTUITOUS

kmatimber2 · 05-03-2008, 02:18 PM

the vostok drill question, the drill stopped just before the lake, so i said it was fortuitous (spelling?)

gashawnesro · 05-03-2008, 02:18 PM

definitely fortuitious.

rinne9 · 05-03-2008, 02:18 PM

what was the paucity question about?

rinne9 · 05-03-2008, 02:19 PM

did any of you put derivative for a vocab question?

simpson98 · 05-03-2008, 02:20 PM

wasn't the question 'how would those wishing to keep it pristine react" or something like that? I don't know, I thought that the hole led to the drilling plans, so I put catastrophe, but I could be wrong.

what did u guys get for ur essay question? I thought it was really easy for my second time

kmatimber2 · 05-03-2008, 02:21 PM

for the passage about the miniseries, the question that asked what the last sentence used, what did you say?
the options were euphamism, allusion, analogy and some other things

gashawnesro · 05-03-2008, 02:22 PM

i didn't get derivative but i got antecedent

star_s · 05-03-2008, 02:22 PM

Pretty sure about analogy.

rinne9 · 05-03-2008, 02:22 PM

i put analogy.

kmatimber2 · 05-03-2008, 02:23 PM

i got paucity for the questions about venus? merecury? and erosion.

Hmm... I'm not quite sure how you all arrived at 4 babies born on that one day. The total was 89 babies. There are 30 days in June. If you have 4 babies born one day, then you could say there were 3 born the other 29 days.

3 babies x 29 days = 87 + the 4 babies = 91 = too many babies.

2 born on other 29 days = 58 babies + 31 babies (what I put) = 89 babies for the month of June.

And you can't have 2.93 babies born each day. So that rules out doing 89 - 4 babies = 85 babies/29 days = 2.93.
I could have interpreted the question completely wrong, but I'm not really sure...
What stinks is not being able to find out

EDIT: Oh wait, I guess you could have some days with 2 babies born... bummer.

wouldn't analogy be like a is to b as c is to d, the sentence was like, a miniseries is like an infomercial, by the time you decide you want to by the product, you've already logged too many hours in front of the television. idk

SilverDragon795 · 05-03-2008, 02:24 PM

i said antecedent. derivative makes it seem like the old was influenced by the new, which didn't make much sense
