<p>I still don’t unberstand why it would be lacking and not desirous. Can someone explain?</p>

803

<p>Yea I’m with mystic. I’d like to know the reason. Oh and the organic was experimental, so it doesn’t matter</p>

804

<p>Hold on for the architecture passage,
Wasn’t it a visionary practice cuz it asked for the rest of the passage
and the rest of the passage was about how we get that sense from
our surroundings and that we depend on the surrounding</p>

805

<p>@adissa
Was “interperse” the answer?
Was the question about “the speaker____his speech, dividing…” ?
Did everyone chose intersperse for that question?</p>

806

<p>@Mystic1996 and Makaveli 16: Yes, it was lacking. Again, look it up. [Wanting</a> | Define Wanting at Dictionary.com](<a href=“Wanting]Wanting Definition & Meaning | Dictionary.com”>Wanting Definition & Meaning | Dictionary.com) The context of the sentence was something like “a valid American reason for the Cold War was wanting” I think.
@kevinpikacho13: It was inherent, because it’s an ability that we all have that’s not acquired or anything. We naturally are able to connect with our surroundings.
@tristesse31: Yep, it was interspersed. “He interspersed his speech with (something), dividing up his arguments with (something) in between.” Something along the lines of that.</p>

807

<p>@adissaddddd Hi, for the question with the interspersed did it also include dissected?</p>

811

I also put dissect</p>
