<p>What was the question for the wife’s new perspective? And for "-Passage 1 blamed Russia and Passage 2 blamed US "</p>
<p>The salve one may have been experimental. Does anyone remember that SC with “execrable” as a choice? Was it experimental??</p>
<p>I don’t remember that one Science</p>
<p>Do any of you guys remember what numbers were the no errors in the writing section? Also in the improving paragraph, what did you guys get for the last question?? something like “by using modern device…”???</p>
<p>execrable was real and correct. What was the question for the wife’s new perspective? And for "-Passage 1 blamed Russia and Passage 2 blamed US "</p>
<p>pretty sure indefatigable was not a correct answer</p>
<p>The question stated that the person (or organization) worked tirelessly, which is essentially indefatiguable.</p>
<p>The answer was dissect not intersperse. Interspersing is scattering and dissecting is going thoroughly through something and dividing it. The question was about a professor giving a a comprehensive lecture by dividing it apart.</p>
<p>@whatstheanswer I agree, the answer should be dissect not intersperse.</p>
<p>@whatstheanswer I agree. I put dissect too! Hopefully that’s right.</p>
<p>I’m not totally sure but I think that intersperse is correct.
Intersperse: To scatter among or between things
Dissect: Methodically cut up A BODY, PART, or PLANT in ORDER TO STUDY ITS INTERNAL PARTS
…idk that last part of the defn. makes dissect a somewhat irrelevant choice…</p>
<p>@whatstheanswer @xisheng. dissect was clearly not the right answer. like abcsands said, dissect means to either methodically cut up (a body, part, or plant) in order to study its internal parts or to analyze (something) in minute detail. i think we can all agree the man wasnt methodically cutting up his talk with anecdotes of his life, nor was he analyzing his talk with anecdotes of his life, but rather he was scattering these anecdotes among or between other things (interspersing)</p>
<p>@byahn1129. no it was definitely eagerness. there’s already a consensus, sorry. it might have said blissful in the last sentence, but it certainly did not in the lines that question asked you to examine. in the lines it asked to examine, there was a question “Perhaps I might even see a seahorse today?” or something along the lines of that, and before that question the narrator said she was expecting to see one that day. Neither of those sentences implies cheerfulness. They clearly show she was expectant and eager to see a seahorse.</p>
<p>@adissaddddd
would you like to give support for your answer that it was inaccurate but conventionally used</p>
<p>Glasses is correct. The question stated that the professor kept his lecture enjoyable because he scattered anecdotes throughout, dissecting a lecture with anecdotes doesn’t make it more enjoyable.</p>
<p>I think that in order for us to properly answer the dissect question, we should get the context correct. It seems that our recollection of the passage has somewhat eschewed the context of what was said in the passage.</p>
<p>The slightest change in how the original passage was worded could indicate either one of the choices as the answer. From my recollection I remember that the passage started with a clause that juxtaposed the clause indicating that he broke up the speech into pieces. That is why I chose dissected because it naturally followed the clause after it. </p>
<p>Now I obviously could be wrong, and I might have chosen interspersed as well if the passage had indicated what Djokovic159 recollected, but at this point my memory of what I what put on the test is rather fractured.</p>
<p>Hot dog question in CR? Lol all I can remember is the hot dog.</p>
<p>in the writing section, “debate with” thats an incorrect idiom right? Also, in the improving paragraphs, what did you guys get for the question (I think it was #32) which asked what to put before the paragraph 2…i got something like “blah blah outspoken…”</p>
<p>@glasses1: It was inaccurate but conventionally used: inaccurate because they’re synthetic and have nothing to do with living things which is what “organic” implies, but conventionally used because it’s convention to label something containing carbon as “organic”.
@testtaker77: Yeah, pretty sure I remember “debate with” as an error to identify in the Writing section. It should have been “debate over”. No idea what you’re talking about for number 32 though - hard to remember a whole question based on the word “outspoken”.
@daveeed: No idea about the hot dog question, hahahah.
@xisheng: Sorry, but it definitely wasn’t “dissect”. The point of the sentence wasn’t that he was breaking apart his speech, but rather that he was making space for anecdotes in between his points. It was “interspersed”.
@byahn1129: As glasses1 pointed out, you’re looking at the last sentence of the passage but the question was only referring to a couple sentences in the middle of the piece.
@bhchamp: It was definitely indefatigable, sorry. It means tireless.
@Science2014: Yes, execrable was one of the answers. I don’t remember anything about “salve…upset by”, though, although the “upset by” makes me think maybe you’re talking about the question where the actual answer was “acerbic…affronted by”.
@bluejourney11: That part of the passage was notable for its use of metaphor.
@lollipop101: The “autonomous” question was asking what “humbling” meant in context: it meant that it’s humbling for us to know that our feelings or reactions to our environment are not totally autonomous as we’d like them to be. The “inherent attribute” was talking about how it’s a natural part of us to be heavily affected by our surroundings.
@triassiic: Don’t know, maybe the book one you’re talking about was experimental.
@testtaker77: Yeah, the improving sentences one was something like “by using modern devices”.
@diddly123: The wife’s new perspective one was asking about the purpose of the wife’s statement, “Maybe it’s not what brown rice is, but what it isn’t.” The “Passage 1 blamed Russia and Passage 2 blamed US” thing isn’t an answer, just a general tip for those trying to figure out answers about that Cold War passage. Knowing that should’ve helped answer quite a few questions from that section.</p>
