<p>Yes, it was personal recollection.</p>

<p>Also, the phsychologist says that the the guy can’t remember the Yankees game perfectly because all memories are slightly exaggerated and fictional.</p>

<p>Can someone tell me which is the right answer,</p>

<p>Togo is one of the main producers of phosphate, a compound used in fertilizers</p>

<p>or</p>

<p>Togo is one of the main producers of phosphate, which is a compound used in fertilizers</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Yeah, personal recollection… I think that was one of the last two questions in Section 1 – One of the questions I had to answer quickly while my proctor read the instructions to Section 2 because he was a freakin moron and called time a minute early.</p>

<p>Some of the Roman Numeral questions bothered me…
One was something dealing with a “cross-convergence”?</p>

<p>There was also a question in the same passage as the shickalacked question. It asked about the last sentence in the first paragraph, which was something like “they waved a flag in the middle of the play.” I had no idea what that meant =(</p>

<p>What was it?</p>

<p>what was teh answer to the question that asks which of teh following memories would the author of passage 2 most likely throw into teh discard bin?</p>

<p>Were those really the two choices exactly? Cause those both make sense. Usually the choices are more different than just an extra two words… But in that case, I guess it’d be the first one because it’s less wordy.</p>

<p>Thrown into the discard pile was… I believe the memory about the dog… Because he didn’t really pay attention to the dog.</p>

<p>and johnclark, i dont think the second one was in one of the answer choices</p>

<p>Oh yeah, that flag thing was weird… Does anyone remember the question?</p>

<p>That one was a different question.</p>

<p>I think “blunders and failures” was the answer to the discard pile question</p>

<p>ok, thanks a lot</p>

<p>Oh, my bad… Yeah I believe I put blunders and failures. Oh yeah, I’m positive I did… Because he said we tend to like, forget the times that we’re shown in a bad light.
I think?</p>

<p>Hmmm something like that. I remember “favorable light” as part of an answer to some question in that passage, but not the discard pile one.</p>

<p>that was an answer choice? i remember 4 answer choices</p>

<p>his brothers memory of hsi grandmother
dog memory
yankees game
his understanding that his memories might not be accurate</p>

<p>Which discard pile question? I somehow recall two “discard pile” questions. For the second one, I put the memory of the family dog because the author wasn’t really involved in it.</p>

<p>I also put “humorous illustration” for the question about the trees and stop signs jumping into the way. In my weird logic, “incredulous” just isn’t consistent with the rest of the passage’s tone, which was professional and scholarly. “Incredulous” seemed too extreme.</p>

<p>In the Zora Neale Hurston part, was there a specific question about the flag-waving? I don’t remember it. But I remember a question that referred to that part of the passage. I think it was something like, “What was Hurston criticizing in lines…” I put “writers depending on popular appeal” or something to that effect.</p>

<p>O ya. there were two “discard pile” questions. </p>

<p>One asked you what ended up in a “discard pile”</p>

<p>The second asked you what was the specific thing that would end up in the “discard pile” for the author.</p>

<p>In that case, the answer would probably be the memories of the dog.</p>

<p>thanks for clearing that up edward. i was talking about the second question.</p>

<p>

Because in his opinion all memories are subjective, and therefore not “perfectly” accurate.</p>

<p>edit: Sorry, I didn’t realize someone already answered this.</p>

<p>was teh exact wording to the answer something like “all memories are somewhat fictional”</p>

<p>What was answer choice B to that question? Does anyone remember? (The one about the guy remembering the game perfectly.)</p>
