<p>Hmm, if you are absolutely sure, then I stand corrected. Gah probably -2/3 then… praying that I only got 2 wrong.</p>
<p>We shall see, I SASed this exam, so we will know in 5 weeks.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure the question asked which word described his characterization of the army.</p>
<p>For the nanima passage, there was a question about one of the girls following rules. What was the answer to that?</p>
<p>And characterizing the army as snide means the army is snide, so that doesn’t make too much sense… I guess even despondent would make more sense because he thinks the army is hopeless insofar as accomplishing their goals.</p>
<p>she was naturally obedient, or something like that</p>
<p>@gt, yes that’s what i thought.
@SATawesomeness, it was looking for a word that described the author’s CHARACTERIZATION of the army, not the actual army itself.
Also, the answer was she was obedient.</p>

<p>46/67 questions</p>
<p>Oh btw, do we have a general consensus about the answer to the question that asked for a comparison of Mark Twain’s and the other writer’s opinions of the sphinx?</p>
<p>One of the answers was atypical.
I put “less objective than others”</p>
<p>both were anomalies of their regular opinions or something like that</p>
<p>Yep, it was that they were atypical of the authors.</p>
<p>How was it atypical of the first author? Nothing in the passage indicated that.</p>
<p>erbody shut up, the answer was pedantic, get over yourselves and admit your wrong…if they wanted to know what the author felt about the army it would have said “what is the authors tone toward the army”…the question in reality was along the lines of "How does the author characterize the army in lines ___.</p>
<p>That is all.</p>
<p>Twain was usually witty, or something of the sort, but his description of the sphinx was devoid of humor. </p>
<p>The artist was a master of Middle Eastern detail and usually meticulous in his depictions but he portrayed the sphinx as facing the wrong direction.</p>
<p>What was “idealistic” the answer to?</p>
<p>Idealistic was the answer to a question after the double passages regarding the purpose of higher level education. I believe the question was something along the lines of “How would Author 1 (the one who doesn’t like the idea of teachers aiming to foster good citizenship) characterize the views of Author 2 (the one who had the opposite opinion)?”</p>
<p>@readi I, as well as many others, believe the question asked which described his characterization of the group. It appears there is controversy on how the question was worded, and thus it’s not as obvious as you believe it to be.</p>
<p>for the question about the repetition of “what are you doing”, was that a growing sense of selfishness, or indignation?</p>
<p>indignation, for sure</p>
<p>@nelkypie, I thought the question was how would the author of passage 1 characterize the views of the “critics” mentioned in Passage 2. If author 1 was a critic himself, wouldn’t he agree with the “critics”? I think I put pragmatic.</p>
<p>@gthopeful93 I’m not so sure. There definitely was a sense of indignation, but I dont know if thats what the repetition of the phrase was representing. The first time, was by Big N, when she walked into the room to argue that the narrator should get the fan. The second time was by N, after she went on a rant of why the other girl should. and the final time, N said that she had made her decision that it should definitely be the other girl. </p>
<p>I think it could honestly go both ways, but I wouldn’t be so sure that it is definitely indignation</p>
<p>Triplthreat95, I think you’re talking about another question. The answer to that one was realistic(?) Can anyone confirm? I don’t have the best memory for test questions.</p>
<p>Spice trade: I put dramatic because of the sweeping statements. I understand why people might think ironic, because it is funny that a seemingly insignificant thing could expand empires. However, college board does not reward this kind of creative extrapolation. This is why I picked dramatic; it was the more boring of the two choices. </p>
<p>Parenthetical mock vs. anticipate and respond: Once again, I picked anticipate and respond because it was the boring answer. The author addressed people who would disagree and then responded to their hypothetical qualms with his argument. I do think that the tone could be characterized as mocking, however, coming to that conclusion requires inference and faculty with analysis. College board doesn’t like that. </p>
<p>Fundamentally vs. solely: I don’t think solely quite fits the bill. The connotation is off. </p>
<p>Analogous reasoning vs. repetition: I’m not quite sure what analogous reasoning is, but there was plenty of repetition in that chunk of the passage! The sentences all had similar beginnings.</p>
