**2011 Oct international CR**

<p>Could anyone tell me why the answer is deliberate rather than fortuitous? Thanks a lot.</p>

<p>@aurorahotaru</p>

<p>oh thanks! i think i was confusing propitiate with proprietary :stuck_out_tongue:
btw do you remember which sentence completion questions were from the experimental section, if you got the CR experimental?</p>

<p>@austurela
Because the author passage 2 deems migration as something done intentionally. If the butterflies’ location were subject to the wind, it wouldn’t be called “migrating”. As a matter of fact, I remember very clearly that the word “intentionally” was on the passage.</p>

<p>@iamthebist. I got venice experiment for twice but i can only remember a few SC q. </p>

<p>annotate
vocalization
mentor fleding( somebody said but i dun remember)
transform(somebody said)</p>

<p>btw does anyone remember the q in butterfly passage "What is the most pertinent way for her to respond to his claim? About the horse thingy…</p>

<p>for the flimsly unsafe q in the building passage. is it choice C? i remember another choice is abt factory workers. is the “factory worker” the same choice as “flimsly unsafe buildings”???</p>

The last paragraph clearly stated that winds affected the pattern. There is absolutely no doubt about that. And this was the reason provided by author of passage 2 for their movement</p>

<p>According to aforementioned discussion, I think we can list the answers that we are sure of and those which remain debatable.</p>

<p>A little about Writing Section, the NEs I chose

  1. If john had begun sooner, …
  2. if doctors could read minds as well as they read X-rays doctors
  3. When Hamlet suggested to look for Polonius outside the bedroom
  4. The World Series of 1919 and the fraud TV game shows of the 1980’s were but two of the scandals that seized the attention of the people during the 20th century. </p>

<p>However, the 3rd is probably wrong: “to look” should be changed to “looking”. I’m so sad…</p>

<p>@zth0908123, thank you for wrapping up all the possible ones. </p>

<p>Does anyone recall the context of the questions whose possible answers are “licentious” and “magnanimous-commendable”?? </p>

<p>Also, what do you guys think is the answer to the question in Grandma passage with a choice “recount a stirring experience”?? </p>

<p>Thank you in advance!!^^</p>

<p>ahhh i so wish there are official answers :(</p>

<p>and btw @stevenyy, stirring experience is right I’m positive :)</p>

<p>Does anyone have any idea about the meaning of the last question, or No.29, of Identifing Sentence Errors. It goes like " … looked skeptical at … ,without stopping …, two hours in …". Is there any error in this sentence?</p>

<p>for the butterfly pasage
i am sure that fortuitous circumstances, deliberate action, instinctive ?? are in the same question. They are not choices from two q. I guess determined by wind is the choice of another q.</p>

<p>@zth0908123</p>

<ol>
<li>When Hamlet suggested to look for Polonius outside the bedroom</li>
</ol>

<p>this one has an error. it must be suggest doing</p>

<p>@AuroraHotaru
Thank you for your reply! I already know that I’ve chosen a wrong answer. But what about the question containing “without stopping”?
Thank you again in advance.</p>

<p>i couldn’t remember that one with without stopping. btw i am sure the last ISE is abt suggest doing one.</p>

<p>btw, look my previous post abt the butterfly passage. </p>

<p>6) author 2 views butterfly’s route as: 1.fortuitous 2.determined by wind direction
7) As Wenner understands it, migration implies: 1.deliberate action 2.ADAPTIVE CAPACITY 3.INSTINCTIVE BEHAVIOR</p>

<p>i am sure that fortuitous deliberate adaptive instinctive are the four choices of a single q. so maybe determined by wind direction is from another q. can u put more details?</p>

<p>I have edited zth0908123’s post and added some of my personal thoughts:</p>

  1. Tone: The joke about old age half-hearted humorous vs self mocking (other choices: deliberate nonchalance and reluctant acceptance)
  2. “light”: gentle vs trivial
  3. what does the bit about how the air was thick and fragrant show about the writer’s emotions - intense pleasure vs escalating tension</p>

<p>AGREED
4) Paradise: “the experience was beyond any past experience or expectation” (this is the correct answer because the place is not the narrator’s home)
5) The small grand aunt’s attitude: 1.forceful and direct (forceful: strong shoulders; direct: the aunt tells the narrator how he should call her, implying he’s going to be her niece’s husband)
6) why suspicion irony? because usually evokes negative expectation.
7) Laughter circled them - like a living thing
8) Confrontational relationship between grand aunt and his wife
9) The transition of paragraph 1 to 2 - general to specific
10) what he meant from saying that he had expected someone really tired and crinkly: he had been expecting someone visibly aging</p>

<p>NEW ONE: 11) In the last passage, the author use ____ to describe the aunt ===> I chose something like “dialogue put within narrative”</p>

<p>For the NEW ONES in zth0908123’s post I agree to his answers, so I’ll move them into the AGREED. Anyway discussion is still open.</p>

<p>Monarch butterfly
AGREED

  1. painstaking nature of an endeavor
  2. “anyone”: comprehensive scope of skepticism
  3. author 1 responds: her conclusion is based on observational data
  4. open = unobstructed
  5. Wenner’s attitude is DISMISSIVE.
  6. Both of the authors agree that: “something about the wind”
  7. the 2nd paragraph of Passage 1 is about passage 1 was about HER experiement & the first paragraph of passage 2 was about his character
  8. In the butterfly text, quotation marks are there to indicate that it is “morning” for the altered biological clock of the butterflies. </p>

<p>DEBATABLE
9) A question with choices like fortuious, instinctive, deliberate, adaptive, and something else. It’s about “the author 2 views the routes as…” or “the author 2 disapproves the author 1’s view on the routes as…”? If the former possibility is right, then fortuitous or instinctive will be correct; if the later, then deliberate for sure.</p>

<p>NEW ones never discussed
11) Passage 2 criticizes an experiment that … in passage 1</p>

<p>–>Identity

  1. sense of identity of both authors: conflicted and integrated vs central and tangential
  2. village: stable environment vs Cultural vaccuum
  3. difference between the 2 authors: the author 2 views identity can be shaped by themselves? or situations?
  4. the author 2 views “the world beyond” in passage 1 as: possibility? or familiarity?</p>

  2. first paragraph serves to describe the author’s state of mind in a period
  3. parallels between folklore and real life
  4. frog: lowly appearance</p>

<p>DEBATABLE
5) right: moral correctness or accuracy ===> moral correctness, because the author was describing about the values and details in folklore (in folklore the good is always clarified from the evil right???
6) the tone: inspired and passioned vs cautious and rational ===> inspired and passionate. He’s not cautious at all…</p>

<p>–>Building
AGREED

  1. estrange from nature
  2. it comes at too great cost
  3. “organism”: timeless and comprehensive entity
  4. “design life”: conscious action</p>

<p>DEBATABLE
5) which statement would discredit: “1.they lived in unsafe flimsy houses in past” “2.Factories were built according to worker safety needs” “3.Farm houses were built by neighbors” ====> I’m sure 1 is correct, 2 supports the statement while 3 does not have any concern with it…
6) Attitude of 2nd para: admiration? vs gratification? ====> it’s gratification. The author describes his concepts about the association of the past and future embodied in the buildings with pleasure. There’s no clear entity for him to admire.</p>
