Exactly. </p>

<p>That is also in keeping with (I believe) the last paragraph, where the author suggests that some people find certain things hard to fathom because they cannot do it themselves. That is, humans don’t “see” through echolocation, but they do see with the help of their eyes, like say rats. So, it’s not hard for these persons to understand how a rat can “see”, and not challenge that view. (no pun intended)</p>

<p>However, when talking about (then) advanced technology that only (?) the military was using…</p>

<p>That’s not right, the first author was passionate about how important an issue it was and how quick and urgent action needed to be taken, the second author agreed that it was an important issue but disagreed with strong statements about what changes needed to be made, and instead urged calm thinking about the matter.</p>

403

<p>@Corrinder, I think it was in experimental for writing. </p>

<p>@Maxyend, incensed was the only one that made sense. It really was.</p>

404

<p>@corrinder</p>

<p>i said the error was D. “Is” should’ve been was. but i think i might be wrong.</p>

405

<p>@coldflame, but the next question asked why he put the bit about radar devlopment and stuff in it, and the answer to that question was “to account for a certain reaction” which is incomprehension, not anger.</p>

406

<p>what answer did you guys get for last question in grid-ins.</p>

<p>f(1) + f(-1)?</p>

407

<p>He used words like “indignantly” “he seized him by the shoulders and shook him” “repugnant.” Incensed is the answer.</p>

408

<p>I think incensed, which means extremely angry and infurious, is too far there. However, uncomprehending seems more plausible answer since they disbelief bats are able to do things as cutting-edge technology would do.</p>

409

<p>for the isabelle allende one, I thought error was in ‘should’. because the tense is correct either way (was or is) if you change to “would” :?</p>

410

<p>He put the stuff about radar because scientists were angered to think bats could do what top military technology could do. </p>

<p>“That she should choose to write about independent women was not surprising, as she is …feminist…”</p>

<p>This question is experimental right??</p>

411

<p>@UserInvalid</p>

<p>120.</p>

412

<p>@ userinvalid
answer is 120</p>

413

<p>@coldflame
i wrote the question wrong but it was along those lines of Isabelle Allende being a feminist author/director</p>

414

<p>@Coldflame</p>

<p>Haha, no, sonar was either top-secret or not yet developed (they mentioned that), so the scientist couldn’t have known.</p>

415

<p>@coldflame</p>

<p>“He put the stuff about radar because scientists were angered to think bats could do what top military technology could do.”</p>

<p>Except at the time, as the passage notes, information about military radar/sonar was still classified and very secret, so how would the scientist know?</p>

416

<p>Another grid-in answer I had was 2000.</p>

417

<p>@corrinder94</p>

<p>should is grammatically correct. “that she should choose to write about blah blah WAS not surprising to anyone who knows her.” the reactions were in the past because she wrote it in the past?? i dunno. I think WAS should replace IS there.</p>

418

<p>Wait, why was f(1) + f(-1) = 120?? </p>

<p>Wasn’t it like… a + c + a + c = 2a + 2c. Did they say that a+c = 60?</p>

419

<p>@Maxyend</p>

<p>I got 90 =/ </p>

<p>I remember the question : </p>

<p>4ax^2 - bx +4c </p>

<p>given that a + c = 15</p>

<p>right?</p>

420

<p>How are the curves determined? Will they be the same as the Nov. 2010 ones, or will they fluctuate based on this test’s performance?</p>
