949

<p>Yeah i got 4 no errors too</p>

950

<p>On the blogging one, it wouldn’t be to qualify a claim, since that means to scale back/limit.</p>

951

<p>4 more tests left… is anyone else taking act this month?</p>

952

<p>wait… Woman who could have been president?</p>

953

<p>Hang on…lawyer? Archaeologist seemed more apt.</p>

954

<p>Guys, the writing one was “contrary to those,” not “unlike those of.”</p>

<p>I rember because it was something along the lines of "Contrary to those 30 years ago, librarians encourage the use of search engines/whatever.</p>

<p>Because of the “ago,” “unlike those of” doesn’t make sense. One doesn’t need “of.”
If the sentence had been “unlike those of previous decades,” or something along those lines, “of” would have made sense, but in this case, it definitely doesn’t.</p>

955

<p>I thought lawyer was more felicitous…but not sure.</p>

956

<p>Really…?</p>

<p>I put unlike those of</p>

957

<p>do you guys remember the one on the last writing section with the mosque? it was really confusing … i ended up putting B …“later converted, and is” currently …</p>

958

<p>I thought it was spy, not lawyer or anything. Because it talks about snooping and behind the scenes stuff. Haha.</p>

<p>And why couldn’t it be “unlike those of 30 years ago”?
Definition of contrary to:
in spite of something that seems to suggest otherwise; regardless of something else</p>

959

<h1>11: Qualify a claim, as he started by saying that some people don’t see the point in blogging if nobody reads it, then the quote stated that “it isn’t how many people who read, but who reads.”</h1>

<h1>18: Paranoid</h1>

<p>19# Disappointed</p>

<h1>20: The answer was that an idea could exist outside of human conception. The answer you have was what Fleece said an idea was NOT.</h1>

<p>@Subsidize, that question was a different one. He is referring to the question with which example relates to the hindsight affecting our foresight.</p>

<p>Also, you can add vehement tone for the second paragraph of the second nuclear passage.</p>

960

<p>Spy!!Not lawyer!!!</p>
