<p>Well, maybe because of different time zone, the other internations cant be online. But why everytime Im online there are only 2 or 3 internationals? :(</p>
<p>Oh so that’s why. They are soooo lucky and poor us. But if all the international has the same test, we cant figure out the equating sec anyway :(</p>
<p>@zdragon: oh I’ve already posted my explanation. Though Im not 100% sure, I think the second para is about biography writing about writers ONLY (let’s say, there are many subjects for biography right? Like presidents, stars, ect. but this para graph focus only on writing about WRITERS’ lives. That’s a subset of biography)</p>
<p>@ zdragon -
Can you elaborate? Like was there a quote in the question, and where is that question located on the paper (bottom left, upper right, etc)? You DID answer “immediacy” somewhere too??</p>
<p>I thought the 2nd passage was the one that talked about writers? HUH? Okay whatever, did you answer B too?</p>
<p>Was there a question with an answer “near mythical creatures”?</p>
<p>@hester - Me too, the most I’ve seen (of internationals online) was the day immediately after the test…</p>
<p>@kaitlin</p>
<p>I cannot remember the other choices of the officers question. (Im even not sure that it is the word “officers” that appeared in this question.) The only additional detail about this question I can recall now is it appeared in section 10…</p>
<p>Unfortunately, by the time I got to section 10 my brain was pretty much fried, so I can’t remember much. But I do remember there was such a question because I got confused there… I remember I picked my answer (whatever it was) on the basis that the other one I didn’t cross out yet was wordy (?). Like (based on what you posted,
) “planning” is just the same as “preparing [preparation]”. Maybe the others remember.</p>
<p>@xhy0921: and your idea about the Biography passage’s question?</p>
<p>No I don’t think how writers create their writing can be called “subset”. Also, P1 is not about writers’ lives- it’s about Life in general- it says life is hard to catch into writing. And although life is not ALL biographies’ subjects but it is ONE of the subjects of biographies- does the answer choice says ALL subjects? Subjects here may very well mean lives. And do you reckon P1 is about biographies??? It doesn’t talk about biographies I’m sure- it talks about LIFE- don’t care what life may be called in the answer choice but I reckon it’s not called biographies…Then it says how the biographers exaggerate and romanticize life to put into their proses but that’s still associated with LIFE-IN BIOGRAPHIES. Hence it’s not about BIOGRAPHIES.</p>
<p>yeah… it’s possible either… but can you tell me the exact choice you chose?
but P2’s talking about writers only is also clear, isnt it?</p>
<p>zdragon - what are you trying to defend? i got lost after the first line…</p>
<p>@kaitlin</p>
<p>I crossed out 3 choices on this question and was left to 2 choices, but the remaining two both seemed imperfect to me. I know my final choice was flawed by redundancy,(but now I really cannot remember the other one that wasn’t crossed out) so I was pretty unsure.</p>
<p>I chose P1 is about the subjects of biographies and P2 is about biographies. I’m trying to defend this choice. Ah you guys use yahoo??? My yahoo is: ultimate_zdragon (use yahoo or MSN can both add it) We can chat about these- it’s faster to discuss^^ And we can post our definitive opinions here- to avoid long and misleading discussions…</p>
<p>
yep P2 is about biographies but not a SUBSET of biographies^^</p>
<p>@hester,</p>
<p>I really cannot remember my choice, and I was also not sure about it, cuz I answered this question by elimination.</p>
<p>
Do you remember any of your eliminations? Particularly answer choices that have either subset or subject?</p>
<p>i chose planning to prepare for coz i thought ‘as preparations for…’ is a dangling modifier</p>
<p>@xhy - sorry, I meant redundancy. I always confuse that with wordiness. Anyways, I was stuck between 2 choices too… you picked the one with “planning…preparation”?</p>
<p>@zdragon,</p>
<p>I think I eliminated “subset” cuz P2 didnt discuss anything about a “subset” of biographies.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>that’s why I chose ‘subset’ choice. but you maybe right too.</p>
<p>@kaitlin,</p>
<p>yes, I chose “planning…preparation” at last but really not sure about it…</p>
<p>But what do you think a subset of biographies is? some kind of new style of writing?:|</p>
