Tell me how I got this -blam!-ing biology question wrong.
-blam!-ing idiots. I know more about our curriculum than the retards who write our standards. Apparently H is the right answer. But really, this is an extremely shitty question.
Answer F: Well -blam!- me. "Common" is a subjective term. And on a geological timescale I would consider extinctions fairly common.
Answer G: They definitely do not. For example, the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event was a series of events set into motion by a meteor strike (as evidence by the KT boundary). First was the strike, then the fires, then the impact winter. I remember reading somewhere that they found a dinosaur that lived approximately 700,000 years after the mass extinction 65 million years ago which wiped out the dinosaurs.
H: How the actual -blam!- is this the answer? If literally everything died we wouldn't be around today. On the contrary, we are alive because mammals rose up after the dinosaurs died out.
J: Could be wrong. Not sure about the exact dates of every extinction. I know there was the Eocene, Cretaceous, Triassic, Permian, and I think an Ordovician extinction event.
This is seriously pissing me off.

Yeah, when education authorities are objectively wrong, and punish you for it, it is always very frustrating. That question was just awful, and yes the "correct" answer is objectively wrong. When this would happen to me I would complain to the teachers and demonstrate how they are wrong. Eventually and with some prodding, they stopped making those mistakes.

asirにより編集済み: 5/2/2014 3:02:59 PMYeah dude you got trolled I'm see how they could have been right, but they did not elaborate enough for it to be justified. Also, protozoan life and stuff like water bears would've survived, so not [i]all[/i] organisms would have died. I blame stupid vague blanket statements.

15 通の返信Looks like your the idiot. They do wipe out all organisms, all organisms that are affect by a mass extinction. Just because it says "mass extinction" doesn't mean that all animals in the world get terminated. It only applies to the animals that are affected by that mass extinction, such as the dinosaurs.

2 通の返信A mass extinction is when more than 1 species dies. All organisms belonging to the species are dead and wiped out. The correct answer is H

1 返信Ingyにより編集済み: 5/1/2014 2:48:22 AMThe first one is wrong They can't be common because there is no cycle to them It's completely erratic And even on a geological time scale, it's not that common, maybe happening at regular intervals but definitely not common The second one Lol The last one "they occur every something million years" is also completely wrong There is no pattern to them They can happen at any time If you weed these out, then the third one is obviously the answer Also, it makes the most logical sense there While not accurate, it shows the principle of mass extinction being that it wipes out most of the planet's population

1 返信Shit happens. You need to be able to read people, especially teachers. Always answer how you think your teacher would have.
