I just can't wrap my head around how the second use of "realistic" refers to a quality that allows the world of the story to resemble actual life.

@andrewkim9604612 I still don't really see how endured implies strength necessarily? like it could be very endangered and weakening as time goes on, but still enduring?

...strong?

@Mjamail also, maybe give working backwards a try? Sometimes main point comes clearer to me when I've answered the rest of the questions first. Again, I don't have data to back this up really, but going backwards just feels better to me

i'm not sure if you're doing the low res strategy. it works for some people, but personally, I do better without it. I like reading the passage once slowly and carefully ("aloud silently," or moving my lips to each word helps me), then I do the questions I feel good about, and read it once more quickly / for structure before I answer the harder questions. I actually almost never write anything down.

flagging is my friend

@Kihla333 also maybe early decision
