<p>Have we come to a consensus on the energy expended problem? Was it “that of” or was it the other wordy answer choice.</p>
<p>^ I think the general consensus is “that expended in traveling in the opposite direction” because it maintains complete parallelism. It is still contested more than most questions, though.</p>
<p>Ok, I have an argument to make. I feel like you guys are all thinking too much, and so are making assumptions about the reading. It’s not YOUR opinion; it’s what the author says. From what I remember, the unflattering/cynical/objective question was on these specific lines: “the giant sauropod were mired in ponds during my youth, for many paleontologists regarded them as too heavy to hold up their own bodies on land.” these lines do NOT have anything cynical about them- just telling the then-current knowledge of sauropods. I think the part when he calls them “robotic, stupid, etc.” is the cynical/unflattering part. So that’s why I picked objective.</p>
<p>the only accesible i remember
was that some dude’s philosophical writings were the most accesible because the dude who wrote them used language that was easy to understand</p>
<p>and most people said that it should be energy expended i think</p>
<p>And also, it seems like unflattering and cynical both seem to make sense for good incorrect answers, since they could potentially both apply as they have similar-ish meanings.</p>
<p>@lilyy I agree with you 100% i put objective too! My reasoning is a few pages back if you want to read it. I definitely feel like we have it right.</p>
<p>What would my score be with:
Omit 1 math (I missed a grid in)
100% on writing
2-4 wrong on CR
Am I still in the range of 2350+ ?</p>
<p>1) Cynical doesn’t make sense.
2) Objectivity and an unflattering desciption aren’t mutually exclusive.</p>
<p>Thus, unflattering was the best choice. The passage didn’t mention anything about the scientists’ impartiality (even if you assumed they were objective), but their descriptions of the dinosaurs were clearly unflattering.</p>
<p>what was the question where the answer was scientific implications?</p>
<p>the question was what did the 2nd author show in the last paragraph i think</p>
<p>@goldenhero</p>
<p>Is that 800 writing
780 math
740-800 CR?</p>

^ones im not sure about</p>
<p>@charlieb yay at least someone agrees with me on this one! </p>
<p>BTW guys, what would -1 writing + 10 essay, -2-3 CR, and -0 math be? Because that’s what I’m estimating right now.</p>
<p>^ Accessible was definitely the answer.</p>
<p>The question said that the philosopher’s “accessible” texts made accounted for their “popularity”.</p>
<p>I agree with accessible. Accessible also means easy to understand.</p>

<p>@eagle: Maybe. -1/10 W can be a 790 and -3 (raw) CR can be a 780-790 and -4 raw (as in, 3 incorrect) is never an 800 (usually 750-760 range).</p>
<p>EDIT: My post was in response to the 2400 estimate. But I can’t figure out where it went. Huh.</p>
<p>@lilyy96 thanks for updating the list! What is the question to “teacher eccentricity”? Was it what purpose did the questions serve (the questions as in the weird questions the teacher asked)? I thought the answer to that was, something along the lines of, “to show the father’s uniqueness as the only student who tried to answer those question”</p>
