<p>@AuroraHotaru: the answer choice was A, I believe.</p>
<p>@lzhd1028. i put situation one.</p>
<p>Does anybody happen to remember the context of the sentence completion question with “loner”?</p>
<p>@lzhd1028</p>
<p>I remember putting “identity can be shaped by situations”, but I need the context of the question to remember why exactly did I choose that. Which passage’s opinion was the question referring to?</p>
<p>Also, I’m pretty confident about ‘tractable’ because (this is my repost from another discussion)</p>
<p>We are certain that…</p>
<ol>
<li>The viewers were contemptuous, while the </li>
<li>Ballets and operas are pro-stalin(supporting Stalin, the political leader)</li>
</ol>
<p>Why? This means the viewers are unhappy about how the films are pro-stalin. They’re saying, “oh, these films are wayy too politically-influenced.” So they’re accusing the ballets and operas for being too pro-stalin, or politically tractable(controllable).</p>
<p>If you turn the tables around and put “noxious”, think: why would pro-stalin opera be politically harmful?</p>
<p>@paperplanes…okay i remembered i choose E…maybe i am worng :(</p>
<p>does anyone remember the analogy q in the grandma passage? Sentences referred in the passage about wrinkles or something like that, anlogic to what…i put something like" the assumption i will meet grandma and aunt"(i can’t quite remember, choice A i believe)</p>
<p>@AuroraHotaru
need more context… but I remember the the key idea of the analogy is expecting something but getting a different outcome. Like, expecting wrinkles but seeing no wrinkles from grandma.</p>
<p>@yogurtrepublic. i can’t quite remember it 
so for the right q. which one did you choose? </p>
<p>suggestion is negative one, i remembered i put E, maybe sth like narrowmindness. I think the tone of negative is too strong.</p>
<p>the conflicted integrated one, i put central, tangentenial. P2 says that anyone can shape his or her identity in different situation, and also, he or she doesn’t belong to any situation. Isn’t it mean “tangentenial”??? </p>
<p>vaccum means if someone or something creats a vacuumn, they leave a place or position which then needs then needs to be filled by another person or thing. I think this explanation quite fit the main idea of the P1. i don’t think the passage indicate anything abt stable…anyway i am not sure</p>
<p>what were the other options for the living things question?</p>
<p>@AuroraHotaru
-hahaha can’t remember the answer choices :S
-I picked conflicted integrated because the first couldn’t decide her identity, hence her conflicted feelings. If her identity is centralized she wouldn’t be all ambivalent. The second discussed about how a single individual can be influenced by many different cultures, hence an integrated identity, or a mixed one. Annoyingly tangential seems to make sense too hahahaa great = =
-you can be sure about the vacuum one. The village/place may be stable, but there’s nothing in the passage that stresses that. It only talks about how anything outside the place is unrealistic, making it seem like a vacuum. </p>
<p>@Springtransfer12 not sure, but 110% certain living things is the right answer</p>
<p>I think “tractable” has positive mean like docile… i put noxious cuz that means politically harmful why people unhappy? the critic feel that his opera is politically harmful no politically tractable(docile). That politically tractable sometimse can be either positive or negative. so i think noxious is right.</p>
<p>"tangentenial " i strongly agree. It is only choice ps1 says central but ps2 says identity can be shaped by culture or situation that means tangentenial to that of ps1. conflicted? why he dont say anything allude as conflicted rather do not relate with central cuz shaped by situation, culture so it cannot be shown as conflicted never conflicted.</p>
<p>but vacuum that is very wrong cuz ps1 describe his village as ____ this is the question and give line… we should chose considering given lines… that line describe the village’s environment such as mountaion blah blah… so that is stable envrionment and vacuum is not.</p>
<p>@yogurtrepublic
do you remember a q in the butterfly passage?
its abt the p2 author would use the p1 paragraph to support which of his idea</p>
<p>(the referred P1 paragraph is talking abt the scientist first time failed in experiment cuz she didn’t consider wind factor)</p>
<p>@bearbox
About “noxious”, why would the critics find the opera politically harmful if they are ‘pro-stalin’? (unless there’s a transition word I’m missing out in the sentence?)</p>
<p>@bearbox
ps1 describe his village as ____ /
i put vaccum cuz it is very obvious that the p1 author feels lost. So the small village has already become a cultural vacuum to him. or why does he feel lost?</p>
<p>I remember, “Although” his ___ opera, ~</p>
<p>@autorahotaru
I remember that. The author in P2 is using the ‘wind flaw’ in P1 as a support of his idea about how it’s the wind that actually interferes with the flying patterns of butterflies. But I’m not 100% sure.</p>
<p>@bearbox
Can you elaborate upon why descriptions of the geographical environment indicate a stable environment?</p>
<p>@AuroraHotaru</p>
<p>“NO” cuz question is that in line 1~? auther describe his village with something.
the frist part of te passage tell village’s nature so stable environment is right.
Yes ps1 describe his village as curtual vacuum but ** in line ** with stable environment.</p>
<p>@Yogurtrepublic
are u sure “how it’s the wind that actually interferes with the flying patterns of butterflies” is the answer choice??</p>
<p>i put something like p2 author us the flaw to support that p1 scientist had a intentional assumption before doing it.</p>
<p>why descriptions of the geographical environment indicate a stable environment?
literally, geographical envrionment indicate a stable environment. stable environment menas that genernal envrionment of village. cuz question is “in line” answer is stable environment!</p>
<p>@AuroraHotaru
Sorry… can’t be 100% sure but that’s how I remember it to be.</p>
<p>@Bearbox
About your previous statement, I’m not certain if ‘Although’ exists but if it does then yeah you’re right XDD (we can check up with lucazzz and hongkonggirl if you want)
Not so sure about ‘stable’. Stable connotes “unchanging”, “temperate”.
How would geographical elements of an environment automatically indicate a stable environment though? That I’m confused about, do you remember some examples that say ‘the habitat is unchanging and temperate?’</p>
<p>stable enviroment here is about cultural enviroment, not geographical. The author in passage 1 clearly views the village as a place where he can find his identity…</p>
