<p>what was the answer to the improving sentence question that was like:</p>

<p>the introduction for the product to the line of people was delayed due to technicalities not anticipated</p>

<p>i said it was A “for” which should have been “of” but my friend put D “not anticipated” since there wasn’t a verb or something like that</p>

<p>oh, great. I think I overlooked that choice if it was one of the choices.</p>

<p>Definitely A; it’s a classic idiom question.</p>

<p>YES! I almost put E.</p>

<p>coolblue I think it’s E for that one. There isn’t anything wrong with saying the introduction for</p>

<p>I put E. I hear my friends and and even teachers say “introduction for”.</p>

<p>So does anyone remember the wording on the prime numbers question? Were there any limits besides the fact that it had to be greater than 2?</p>

<p>No, there weren’t any other limits. It was just</p>

<p>I. p + r
II. p + 2r
III. p + 3r</p>

<p>and the answer was II only.</p>

<p>Re: introduction of vs. introduction for</p>

<p>See [url=<a href=“http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=41723&dict=CALD]here[/url”>http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=41723&dict=CALD]here[/url</a>], for instance. "The introduction of new working practices has dramatically improved productivity.</p>

<p>"Within a few years of their introduction, CDs were outselling vinyl records.</p>

<p>“SPECIALIZED The introduction of the tube into the artery is a very delicate procedure.”</p>

<p>shoot man you might be right</p>

<p>

I believe the answer to one was 5-2=3 and the answer to somethign else was the arabic numeral 3. Those were TWO SEPARATE QUESTIONS ThePrincetonFather!!! At least I think they were…</p>

<p>The choices to one was roman numeral 3, roman numeral 4 roman numeral 5, arabic numeral3, and roman numeral 4. The other question had something about the number 0 and the Mayan calendar in its answer choices.</p>

<p>Regarding the “introduction” question, I spent a lot of time thinking about it on the test, and came up with this: when it’s being used as an idea (like General’s examples) “of” should always be used. On that particular question, I thought of it as an event in which something is introduced, sort of interchangable with “orientation.” In that case, I thought for sounded alright. I’m sure it’s technically wrong, but I still like it my way.</p>

<p>dam my proctor were hot…i kep tinkin bout hitin dat shy tru out da hole peesat…na mean</p>

<p>can somebody PLEASE answer this question?</p>

<p>what was the answer to the roman numeral question where it asks u to find the best answer to “if there were some special rules, then why did I,II,III escape it”(not exactly worded)</p>

<p>There wasn’t a single question that listed all the different numerals.</p>

<p>The answer to that one was because those roman numerals were easily recognized with human mental processes or something. I’m 100% sure i am correct swimfreak!!!</p>

<p>Yes there was PrincetonFather. It asked which number was the exception to the rule or something.</p>

<p>The answer choices were…</p>

<p>Arabic 3(this is correct)
Arabic 4
Roman 1
Roman 2
Roman 3</p>

<p>It was near the beginning of the passage(second question I think).</p>

<p>I got recognized with human mental process for one of the questions.</p>

<p>My God. Much easier than I expected, especially math. I’m too lazy to type too much but here are a few things I remember:</p>

<p>-Precarious. Not tyrannical government.
-Deleterious
-Vital = fundamental
-I had no archaic for a sentence completion. Which question was that?
-Put Compunction (ABSOLUTE LAST RESORT GUESS) Right?

  • 5-2 = 3 for Roman Numeral Passage
    -Arabic Numeral 3 for another question on Roman Numeral Passage
    -Zero on last grid-in
    -15 on math question on something going left 1 space and then to the right 3 spaces
    -surged… collapsed was first sentence completion
    -The introduction for the product to the line of people was delayed due to technicalities not anticipated. It’s supoosed to be introduction of.
    Dinosaurs were ferocious.</p>

<p>What was the answer to the math question where you had a three dimensional figure with faces of polygons. What was the minimum number of faces on the figure?</p>

<p>It’s pretext instead of compunction. Everything else looks good.</p>
