<p>Purpose of the 5th paragraph… was that the one where it was talking about Darwin’s idea of the warning colors being used for intriguing the opposite gender of the organism? If that’s the case, I picked the answer that stated the purpose was to “show Darwin’s theory was weak” or something… fairly sure that’s what the entire last paragraph was about. The entire passage was about warning colors being used for purposes other than mating.</p>
<p>Was the answer to the why scientists are puzzled by grasshoppers: they live in large groups and eat toxic plants. Something along the lines of that?</p>
<p>Truthfact: It was to show a weakness in Darwin’s theory.</p>
<p>@sillyup20 What were the other choices for that question</p>
<p>Can somebody tell me what the all answer choices were for the prose fiction question that has choices of writing something about Hawaii? And good talking with Hawaiians I think</p>
<p>@lyica the answer was “she didnt write Hawaiian short stories” im pretty sure</p>
<p>curve predictions anyone?</p>
<p>what was the letter of the answer to the last question?</p>
<p>I guessed and ran out of time, putting B. ANyone have the answer to this one?</p>
<p>what was the question?</p>

<p>^ I think it might have been because they dont develop their exotic colors when they are raised alone</p>
<p>Okay, firstly, I am on team argumentative. Yes, the author did discuss both arguments extensively. HOWEVER, in my opinion, every time he brought up the Indie Book Store’s philosophy he seemed to be attempting to debunk it or addressed it with a negative connotation. I was thinking informative, but I really just did not get a neutral tone from him. </p>
<p>Curve prediction: I think it was a decent reading section; though I also feel it was one that makes you feel as though you did badly, when in reality, you probably did all right. Thus, i’m predicting something along the lines of:</p>
<p>-1=36
-2=35
-3=34
-4=33
-5/6=32
-7/8=31</p>

I don’t mean to put you down but I’ve never seen such a generous curve on the reading section. Only the tests with passages from the 1700 or 1800s have a curve that let you miss one and still get 36. It was a straight forward section for the most part so I wouldn’t be surprised if -1 = 34.</p>
<p>That’s a valid point. I think that the curve for the reading might be a little bit lenient at the top (Because a lot of extremely intelligent people missed the question regarding Nani resembling her father’s mother, and the argumentative/informative one) but I think it might get pretty nasty farther down; the hard questions were very difficult however the majority were stated pretty clearly in the text.</p>
<p>The curve won’t be -1 = 34. This test was MUCH harder than previous tests. I scored a 33 in reading on the Feb 2013 test and a 34 on the April 2013 test. </p>
<p>The April test had a curve of -1 = 34 and it was significantly easier than this test. At worst the curve will be:</p>
<p>0 = 36
-1 = 35
-2 = 34
-3 = 33</p>
<p>I do believe there is a possibility of a curve of </p>
<p>-1 = 36
-2 = 35
-3 = 34
-4 = 33</p>
<p>Yea no way will -1=34</p>
<p>I predict</p>
<p>-1=35
-2/3=34
-4=33
-5=32
-7=31
-8=30</p>
<p>I found a link to a reading test with a -2 = 36 scale, so it is possible! (Also I’d kill to have that english and math scale it has haha) </p>

<p>Alright guys, there should no longer be a debate about argumentative/informative because the answer is clearly argumentative. The second part of the informative answer just didn’t make sense.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember if the answer to the last one was B? I guessed and bubbled it in as I ran out of time</p>
