<p>For the rice one, the author was embarrassed when his grandpa refused to eat the rice and his sister started to laugh.</p>
<p>I am not sure about presenting new problem. What was the question ?</p>
<p>It just gave lines where there were quotes and it asked for the function of those quotes @anysky</p>
<p>I remember extent and advance as answer choices. I am not sure about the questions though.</p>
<p>^I’m pretty sure the answer was underscore a predicament.</p>
<p>Also do you guys remember for the oil/gasoline math problem if it said no less than 1/8th and no more than 1/5th?</p>
<p>the actors and their emotions: one passage argued that actors can draw their emotions from a variety of sources (the text of the play, past emotions, past events, etc.). The second passage presented a play writer who argued that it was nonsensical to be so, because the interpretation of the text itself should be central to the performance of the actors/actresses. </p>

<p>for the Japanese rice one, what was the “drama” that unfolded on top of the plate? It was the visual-thingy, right? Not the collision of customs? “Custom” would seem odd because it refers more to a behavior rather than a culinary dish…</p>
<p>What did you guys get for the Cold War passage? How would the scholars in Passage 2 feel about the Soviets (line reference) in Passage 1. I think I put that Both US and Soviet were responsible for war?</p>
<p>I put collision of customs. not sure though. Need confirmation.</p>
<p>diddley123@ can u recall what the quote is or at least what is the quote about ?</p>
<p>llvkk just wrote about them on the last page</p>
<p>i also put collision of customs. it explained it in the sentences after the line reference</p>
<p>@ilikepie</p>
<p>there was 40 gallons of gasoline, and it asked how much oil is needed to make that particular ratio.</p>
<p>It asked for a ratio between 1:5 and 1:8 (oil:gasoline).</p>
<p>So it would be between 8 gallons and 5 gallons. I’m not sure if it’s inclusive though, but judging from others say it might be.</p>
<p>6 and 7 would be definitely safe-zone answers, though.</p>
<p>I also put collision of customs. The drama was referring to a general “clashing” of values and “cultures.” I believe the words clashing and cultures were directly in the text, making collision of customs quite a reasonable answer.</p>
<p>anyone remember getting extent as answer choice ?</p>
<p>Also got Collison of customs! Yay</p>
<p>@AkLvKk yeah I remember doing the question like 5 times over because I wasn’t sure if it was inclusive or not. I remember reading that it said “no less than 1/8th and no more than 1/5th.” That would make it inclusive right?</p>
<p>Does anyone remember what passage was after the seahorse passage? I had less than 5 minutes to finish that passage and wanted to know if anyone remembers what they had put.</p>
<p>i think it was collision of customs because there was the custom of eating unrefined, western, crude, brown rice vs the custom of eating refined, cultured japanese white rice</p>
<p>also i still think its a disclosure not a justification, but clearly im not gonna be able to convince you… </p>
<p>look at these definitions:</p>
<p>justify
verb (used with object)
- to show (an act, claim, statement, etc.) to be just or right: The end does not always justify the means.
- to defend or uphold as warranted or well-grounded: Don’t try to justify his rudeness.
- Theology . to declare innocent or guiltless; absolve; acquit.</p>
<p>all of these have to do with showing something to be just or to be right in a moral sense. you say she is justifying her choice to pick seahorses as her favorite animal, but i feel this is too superficial a reading. shes not really “picking” which creature is best, but more saying why the seahorse is especially majestic in comparison to other awe-inspiring creatures like the shark or reef fish (or whatever the other example is). there would be no point in her “justifying” herself as there is no point of her proving to the reader that she is right in having decided the seahorse is so magnificent. while i can’t give as concrete evidence of why “disclosure” isn’t right, its because i can’t remember the content said at the beginning of the final paragraph that indicates that this is a disclosure, bordering on an admission or confession (stretching it though). She acknowledges something having to do with childhood suspicion, this something i can’t remember, and that acknowledgment being exposed to the reader through her writing is a disclosure.</p>
<p>Disclosure is the best choice. The author does not justify anything at the end of the passage. He merely discloses his experience through an analogy.</p>
<p>I also agree agree that disclosure is the best option. A disclosure is kind of a “confession” in a sense where the author confessed to the reader that she still had a childish idea that seahorses, like unicorns, were mystical and didn’t actually exist.</p>
<p>Also put disclosure. </p>
<p>Does anyone remember a sentence completion question that had debauchery as one of the choices?</p>
<p>^YES that was it. thank you ilikepie123. she still held the childhood suspicion that they didnt actually exist in the ocean. this is not a justification. it is a disclosure more than anything</p>
