So, it all boils down to the last 7 words? All the prior information is useless? I'm not getting the hang of this sentence.

No, I just meant that if they had won undeserved praise, and were only seeminly gallant, they must have done the good things for bad motives. Craven is the only negative word to choose from.

I will be saying a prayer for you to have a serene testing experience tomorrow, and that you get a lot of easy questions!

Thanks Pam and to all of you who helped me (I'll make a formal thank-you speech on the "I just finished the GRE" forum tomorrow)...

I also hope I can get a lot of easy questions... but you know what, if I do, that means that I'm scoring in the 400s!! So, bring the hard ones!

I'll take a couple of more powerpreps and then go to sleep... don't want to overstress today. See y'all later.
