can anyone explain why ‘satisfied’ is correctness of behavior , while ‘inevitably of punishment for the sailors’ is wrong</p>
<p>i tend to think he was satisfied becasue of the adventure and not becasue of correctness of behavior. he must of know that his behavior was lude. and even if he didnt, it wouldnt really satisfy him that he had acted correctly. he was satisfied becasue he could go across the sea and brag abuot it later. he knew that he could do it, showing his satisfaction at his impending adventure.</p>
<p>exactly: why would he have been satisfied at his behavior? the sentence appears in the first paragraph and its asked in like the 2nd question
how could he have been satisfied with his behavior? that he didn’t resist the mutiners and went peacefully overboard? or that his behavior led his shipmen to mutiny? it makes no sense</p>
<p>He was satisfied that he had done nothing wrong and it was not his fault that the crew decided to revolt. It gave him comfort knowing that he couldn’t have done things differently, the charms of Tahiti had caused all of it. Getting woken up and tossed off a ship into a small boat in the middle of the ocean does not provide a satisfying adventure. As for inevitability of sailors’ punishment, they weren’t punished, they escaped back to Tahiti. He could only hope that they would be caught, it was far from inevitable.</p>
<p>yah, ok, plmok was right. i grabbed this paragraph off of a website which had bligh’s account of the event. the word satisfaction is even used to justify his correctness of behavior as the right answer: </p>
<p>“As soon as I had time to reflect, I felt an inward satisfaction which prevented any depression of my spirits: conscious of my integrity and anxious solicitude for the good of the service in which I had been engaged, I found my mind wonderfully supported, and I began to conceive hopes, notwithstanding so heavy a calamity, that I should one day be able to account to my King and country for the misfortune.–A few hours before, my situation had been peculiarly flattering. I had a ship in the most perfect order, and well stored with every necessary both for service and health : by early attention to those particulars I had, as much as lay in my power, provided against any accident, in case I could not get through Endeavour Straits, as well as against what might befal me in them; add to this, the plants had been successfully preserved in the most flourishing state; so that, upon the whole, the voyage was two-thirds completed, and the remaining part, to all appearance, in a very promising way; every person on board being in perfect health, to establish which was ever amongst the principal objects of my attention.”</p>

<p>ok then, wat would a loss in raw score of 4 or 5 be?</p>
<p>what was the 2nd question for the cat/dog one…
it said some about Shawn was what
someone said it was companion? is that right?
i thoguht it was independent</p>
<p>It was indeed companion.</p>
<p>The narrator was talking about how cats are independent animals, but how that’s not the case for her cat, who sits on her lap and such.</p>
<p>i think that was a bs question because he first mentions some bs about integrity and then why he feels that way</p>
<p>no the answer to the second question with cat and dog was that the boy is curious…it asked what u can conclude from the passage about the boy</p>
<p>no, it definitely was not. it asked what you can infer about the cat and the answer was companion.</p>
<p>No, it definitely DID ask what you can infer about the BOY; and the answer was “curious”</p>
<p>I remember it asking about the cat. And I put companion.</p>
<p>it was asking about the CAT which was named Shawn. there was no boy mentioned in the paragraph whatsoever</p>
<p>was it just companion? i remember something to do with independence… do you remember the wording of the answer choice</p>
<p>Maybe there were two different passages? :P</p>
<p>Anyway: <a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools;
<p>The first writing was the experimental one. 
That’s the one I aced, too…</p>
<p>Which one was that? What paragraph was it?</p>
<p>wait so ther were only 2 forms how come we have 3 listed here? were they different passages in different orders. Ack, I know I had all the problems listed here on this thread, however I had two math grid ins so I guess I had the first one listed on that college board link. How bout y’all, did you have the first or second format.</p>
<p>uh oh… i thought it said something about what can you infer from the boy? so i put curious… but then again if the cats name is Shawn im ****ed. I think I assumed that the name in the question was relating to the person not cat.</p>
<p>can we get a consensus on that problem? was it talking about the cat or the person… thus making the answer companion or curious.</p>
<p>Shawn the farm cat.</p>
