<p>Yeah, pretty sure it was eagerness, not ambivalence.</p>
<p>What I got wrong was that stupid one about “justifying a practice”. I put “voice a concern” cause I thought he was voicing his concerns about brown rice, implying that brown rice wouldn’t let you live to 80 but white rice would. Bleh. Hopefully that was one of the only ones I got wrong.</p>

<p>Sorry, but there was no way it was ambivalent. Definitely eagerness.
But I agree with everything else.</p>
<p>ALSO: For the last writing question of section 10, which was about Beowulf, I put E which was “…; although one might assume” instead of B(?) which was “…, not, as one might assume”. I have had people tell me that E is wrong, but why? The original was “…but one might assume” and I felt like E made it more grammatically correct while being closer to the original. Anyone care to explain?</p>
<p>can anyone remember anymore cold war questions. i had to rush through the last few so i can’t really remember. all i remember is antithetical and us economic expansion more than soviet political expansion, and the one comparing william appleman’s views to the new left (dont remember answer though)</p>
<p>writing question:
Dora Kleiner tirelessly worked to make sure New York historical buildings were designated as historical sites, protected by law, and adequately preserved</p>
<p>What is no error or was adequately wrong?
only adequately was underlined for this question so i thought it was no error.
But is it wrong because it is not parallel?</p>
<p>@njlokk i can’t tell you why e was wrong b/c i need to see exactly what it said first to pass any judgments or anything… but i can tell you b was right because it was parallel with some other construction/structure in the sentence so fit better than any of the other choices</p>
<p>@sammy1235… of all the questions ever discussed in any of the number of forums about 1/26/13, i think that question is the most questionable… no one really knows for sure if it’s right or wrong. i’ve heard people say its wrong b/c the adverb should have come after, but also that its right b/c the adverb ad the beginning of a verb wouldn’t be disturbing the parallelism b/c its just modifying the verb itself… soo</p>
<p>what did you put @glasses?</p>
<p>dont remember… i was so frustrated myself that i just randomly guessed one of the two and ended up forgetting about it/didnt have time to go back and check</p>
<p>do you remember how many no errors and which ones they were?</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the question for the sentence completion where deleterious was the answer? I can’t recall using deleterious</p>
<p>I’m still sure it was ambivalent. </p>
<p>Eager people would react differently. (Synonyms of eager include keen - avid - ardent - zealous - desirous - fervent.) An eager 4th grader would bolt out of the door come recess, shouting, “awesome, it’s recess!” instead of saying, “I guess it’s time for recess?”</p>
<p>The seahorse girl was certainly apprehensive enough to put a QUESTION MARK on her statement.</p>
<p>Think about it.</p>
<p>(Alright, catch has homework to do. Peace out you guys, and stop worrying so much!)</p>
<p>@sammy1235 and glasses1: I put “adequately preserved”. The adverb before the verb shouldn’t change anything about the grammatical correctness of the sentence - it works anyway. It was the best choice of them all - there wasn’t any better choice in the answers, anyway.</p>
<p>@abcsands: Yeah, it was something like “deleterious effects on the population” I think. I think it might have been “dearth … deleterious” actually. So yeah I’ll go ahead and add that to our little list we have going :P</p>

<p>@catchtwentythree: She’s not apprehensive, she’s excited at the prospect of finding a seahorse. A 4th grader knows it’s already recess. She doesn’t know if she’ll find a seahorse or not, but she’s excited about the possibility of finding one. Picture her saying, “Perhaps this time I’ll find one? :D” It’s more looking forward to the possibility than questioning whether the day will be good or not. But meh, I guess we’ll see later on. I still stick by my eagerness answer.</p>
<p>What would my score be if I got about 10 wrong for each section and an 11 on the essay?</p>
<p>id say low 2000 or high 1900s</p>
<p>Really? we can get 10 wrong in each section and still get in the 2000s?</p>
<p>it was
altered…deleterious (the dam changed the environment and had negative effects)
dearth…diminution (birds)</p>
<p>I dont agree with underline a particular predicament answer. Does anyone remember what the quote said?</p>
