101

<p>I don’t think that patriotic pride quite fits either. Bligh said something about exposing the crew to king and country, however I think that this statement had less to do with the glorification of Engalnd and more to do with glorification of William Bligh.</p>

<p>I also thought that the author in the African Blues passage learned the lesson that history must be looked at within its context. Someone made an argument for this being a scholarly hypothesis, however the author never supported his hypothesis with anything save mere feelings; this is too informal to be considered academic.</p>

102

<p>Yes I got All three for both of those roman numeral questions mentioned.</p>

<p>I was a little confused about the cube one, I think it was 64 cubes make up one big cube, if 18 cubes have a volumes of… I forget, anyone have that one?</p>

103

<p>writing question: something like “Even when Barbara Adams posed questions toward a political nominee…” anyone remember what they put for that?</p>

104

<p>cube one was 192 i think it was 54*64/18</p>

105

<p>yeah i got 192 for that</p>

106

<p>can someone go over what the choices for the 3 people who went to the cinema, question was like which of the following is true if Carey does not go?</p>

107

<p>I believe the Barbara question was No Error.</p>

108

<p>i put no error as well iirc</p>

109

<p>I think I circled “towards” on the Barbara question, but its probably wrong, i am only concerned about my math score at this point.
<em>EDIT</em>
Now that I read it I think “towards” is wrong
I think it should have be posed questions “to” a person</p>

110

<p>damn i put “towards”</p>

111

<p>there was one math question (i know it was pretty basic but i was blanking out), it was in the first math section and it had a figure, not drawn to scale, where there were listed angles of 65, 75, and 40. anyone remember the answer to that?</p>

112

<p>Quick google search came up with these
“Members of the audience posed questions to Mr. Sousa”
“The Committee posed questions to National Sanitation Foundation, Inc”
“the guidelines for the discussion and also posed questions to the candidates that”</p>

<p>Only three results for “posed questions toward” although some of them seem credible.
<a href=“"posed questions toward" - Google Search”>"posed questions toward" - Google Search;

113

<p>75, maybe? don’t remember it too well</p>

114

<p>it was 65
180-40(two lines create the same degree angle)-75 (parallel cut by transversal = 65</p>

115

<p>hmmmmmmmmmm</p>

116

<p>towards (chiefly N. Amer. also toward) >preposition 1 in the direction of. 2 getting nearer to (a time or goal). 3 in relation to. 4 contributing to the cost of.
-ORIGIN Old English.</p>

<p>I don’t think torwards fits any of these definitions except maybe in the direction of ( I think that this is meant in more of a physical sense). I was thinking it should be to instead.</p>

117

<p>It doesn’t make sense if it was instead. The sentence was about “even when she posed questions towards a political nominee” it reminded the audience of her past eloquence with (something along those lines)</p>

118

<p>Actually i put “even” as the error. It was like Even when Barbera posed questions toward the nomminee, members of the audience reminised about her speeches" or something. Anyhow, the even isn’t needed</p>

119

<p>i agree with the “Even”</p>

120

<p>yeah i was torn between the “even” and the “toward”. looking back, i think i picked “toward” more because it didn’t sound correct. “even” fits with incorrect diction</p>
