    For "If you polish off a keg, one should not try to drunk dial your ex.", I would've said "If one polishes off a keg, one should not try to drunk dial one's ex." but that's just me

    |x-6| < 3
    x-6 < 3 --> X < 9
    x-6 > -3 --> X > 3

    3 < x < 9

    x = {4, 6, 8}

    if p is odd then p+2 must be odd. substitute p+2 into choice E, then simplify and it is proved further.

    E) p^4 + p + 1 is odd

    Jess' answers were correct except the math question, which is E. Actually E is always odd as long as p is an integer.

    No! Don't say that! Oh wait... That means... YOU'RE CORRECT! You get a hug!



    Here are some more questions!

    --

    Critical Reading!

    "You snooze, you die!" says a new study in this month's issue of the journal SLEEP. According to a new study, apparently funded by Maxwell House, people who sleep the recommended eight hours a day actually have a higher death rate than those who sleep significantly fewer hours. When asked about his findings, the study's chief scientist said "Must...stay...awake. Must...stay...awake. huh? Wha? Who's there?Get your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty ape!" Ironically, the journal SLEEP is excellent bedtime reading.

    The primary purpose of the passage is to...
    A) snidely criticize a policy decision.
    B) factually explain a scientific approach.
    C) humorously comment on a news story.
    D) wittily defend a health study.
    E) fictionally quote an authority.

    The state of mind of the study's chief scientist at the time of his quote can be best characterized as
    A) altered
    B) livid
    C) lucid
    D) logical
    E) inebriated

    Correct. That's exactly what the book says!
