Are experimental sections different for each test form then? Mine was math.
The gulliver thing was about the Gulliver’s Travels story, but the shipwreck part of it definitely did not sound correct to me. In fact, the answer with shipwreck in it was the first thing I dismissed because the use of “Gulliver” was to compare the author’s actions/strength when handling the micro organisms with those represented in Guliver’s Travels.
The context really didn’t fit the analogy of the shipwreck part of Gulliver’s Travels.
yh each individual has a different experimental section
@ekl2498 what did you put for the ptolemy complex dance question and the question about how the teacher stills nags her students on details even though she values the overall work?
meandering movements
and
she was challenging her students <—plz… it has to be
What were the options for the teacher one mentioned ?
for the gulliver question, the shipwreck answer is the only answer that makes sense to me. other answers are either not related or too extreme. I remember the shipwreck answer wording was like “linked the disorder (or something like a mess) he made to that of the shipwreck”, which matches the context I think because his actions disrupt the algae
For the gulliver question, the shipwreck one was the very first thing I eliminated and I feel very confident in that decision. @TheEpic2401Man I chose that as well but I don’t feel that strong in it as there didn’t seem to be explicit evidence for that answer
@ScienceGeekGirl for the complex dance I put fundamental but flawed and I can’t remember what I put on the nagging question…what were the choices?
In gulliver’s travels gulliver felt alienated in trying to help the tiny people the exact same way as described in the analogy
@ScienceGeekGirl those are the two I remember that gave me issues
The shipwreck passage in the book was not very similar at all to the given circumstance (i had to do 3 2000 word essays on gulliver’s travels in ap lit)
It almost certain it was he felt helpless. It explicitly said he felt helpess in trying to amend the situation he caused and it matches the book. I thought the last zen questions were the hardest
@KillerKiwiJuice The footnote actually specifically mentioned that the shipwreck lead Gulliver somewhere the people were 6 inches and he was like a giant. The character compares himself to Gulliver after talking about how he was too big to aid the organism. Also, the answer included wasn’t simply a shipwreck, it mentioned an allusion and had the word shipwreck inside. I honestly think that was a level 5 question that those who didn’t read the footnote were disadvantaged to. Btw, I like your username.
@kentonpalmer I know the book isn’t drastically similar to the situation in the passage but the footnote DEFINITELY was.
@ekl2498 yay that’s what I put too! And for the teacher question some answer choices were she thiught details were relatively unimportant, she was weary of her profession, and she was trying to challenge her students
@KillerKiwiJuice Well the passage discussed a “whooshing” of water and stuff, so in context it could be a shipwreck.
Does anyone know what the answer to the one about the discovery of water and stuff on different planets. I put ramificiations
@ScienceGeekGirl Oh that one gave me serious issues… I’m probably wrong but I chose she thought details were relatively unimportant. I remember having trouble with that but I found some textual evidence (which I can’t remember) that supported it.
@IneffableMind lol thanks.
imo, the fact that it was so explicitly stated in the footnote should make the shipwreck part a throbbing no-no, but that’s just me. That really made it 2sp00ky4me, so I eliminated the shipwreck allusion.
I can’t remember what I chose exactly, but it was something along the lines of “the author felt hopeless and like a giant when handling the organisms because of the shear size difference”.
I’m worried about the answer “dainty” that I put. Finicky sounds better, but they are listed as synonyms by all 5 dictionary sources I’ve checked. If the word “shipwreck” was in the answer choice, then it is even more likely that it is wrong, as Collegeboard is known to use exact words from the passage in wrong answers. If the answer said, “referenced a calamitous event,” then it would’ve been a lot more likely.
