<p>I said personification or something like that for that dermal/anatomy question. Don’t think the answer is Pun since the author did not “play on words” at all</p>
<p>“It didn’t say that if A = 2 then B MUST be 3…it only said that a = 2 and b = 3
thus, we can’t assume any of the answers, and the answer was “none””</p>
<p>Are you sure?
I believe it says “If a =2, then b = 3”
If b = 6, what must be true… (not sure if the number is 6)</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure the anatomy answer was to define the term. It seemed like the author was providing a synonym of dermal whatever.</p>
<p>@sheepgetkilled</p>
<p>the choices… are something like
dismissed concern
pun
voice opinion
… i don’t remember personification…</p>
<p>Yes it was what is a if b=6
The problem here is that it says IF a = 2 THEN B = 3. However that statement does not say anything about what a must be if b equals some value.
so actually, a can be whatever it wants to be for whatever b value. Heck a can be infinity for all we know</p>
<p>but it could be a play on the fact that dermal means skin and anatomy means the study of the body.</p>
<p>The dermal anatomy was used to define a term. 100%.</p>
<p>was the two short passages about boys chasing after a girl, and the passage about glass blowing or creating.</p>
<p>For a=2 and b=3 I put none. The question didn’t explain any relation ship between a and b and didn’t even imply one existed. What do you guys think?</p>
<p>I remember a passage about marriage, a paired passage about California conservation and biologists, a passage about 2 African American’s buying land or something, a passage about negative campaign, and a passage about plate tectonics… I had reading as experimental.
Could someone tell me which one of these passages is the experimental one?</p>
<p>for a=2 b=3
I put a can’t equal 2.
My reasoning was. If a=2 then b=3. OK. But if b=6, and if you want to say a=2, then that means b=3. But the problem states it equals 6…</p>
<p>@f1yin9hi9h </p>
<p>That assuming that theirs a relation betweent them, but the question never suggested that, so its not definate.</p>
<p>Please tell me the one about a boy in a track team was NOT experimental OMG</p>
<p>@SirDan</p>
<p>but… let’s think…
If b = 6… a can still be 2??
if a is 2… b won’t be 6 in the first place…
that’s why i think a cannot be 2…</p>
<p>[Contraposition</a> - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contraposition]Contraposition”>Contraposition - Wikipedia)
Look at the bottom…
“Take the statement “All red objects have color.” This can be equivalently expressed as “If an object is red, then it has color.”
The contrapositive is “If an object does not have color, then it is not red”. This follows logically from our initial statement and, like it, it is evidently true.”
It’s the same as, " If a = 2, then b = 3. If b is not 3, a is not 2"</p>
<p>@dan</p>
<p>the african one was experimental. 100% sure</p>
<p>@sparkfor but did the question state something like “given the above information, what does a equal when b=6?”</p>
<p>@f1yin
yeah it is true it said IF a=2 THEN b = 3. However it the statement does not tell you anything about: IF B=… THEN a = …</p>
<p>So you can have a=2 for any b value…
you see my point?</p>
<p>I don’t think i got the track team one :)</p>
<p>What about the passage about animial reserve or something about reserve lands</p>
<p>@SirDan but then you’re saying that if b=6 then a can equal 2 which isn’t true because then b would equal 3, as expressed in the given statement.</p>
