Cheetah Passage and Vemeer discussion

<p>I thought I'd start a discussion on those q's lol I did pretty crap on those.. anyone remember them? One of the vemeer was beseech? forlorn?</p>

<p>No it was neither beseech nor forlorn...twas penetrating. I think that was the most commonly answered question in the main thread.</p>

<p>Yeah, "searching" meant penetrating.</p>

<p>Also... the child had "growing unease" looking at the painting... He also looked at adults for "security"...</p>

<p>For the cheetah paragraph, "grim hierachy" was the option with the carnivorous animals.
And the last question about the author's hypothetical proposal was the option with the word "wolf" in it (but lots of people had different answers to this so I'm not really sure what the correct answer is)</p>

<p>grim hierarchy, i put something about competitition between carnivorus</p>

<p>don't take my word on it though, i completely bs'ed cheetah and jefferson</p>

<p>anyone remember the number of q's for each section of the CR? I hope I didn't bomb everything</p>

<p>Yeah, competiton among the carnivorous animals.</p>

<p>What'd you put for the "maverick biologists"</p>

<p>24 q's for 25 min sections of CR; 19q for 20min</p>

<p>Also, what was the experiments of the biologists?</p>

<p>Was it that the experiments didn't reflect the realities of the world that the cheetahs lived in?</p>

<p>I remember answering one of the questions like "who does this sentence support the most"
I answered maverick biologists for that one</p>

<p>.. man we are nerds, sat was finished yesterday and we are still discussinng it</p>

<p>Hahaha. I know! I can't stop thinking about the test.</p>

<p>yea lol me too ahaha</p>

<p>What about the second to last question on Cheetahs? Something about Namibia and what pitched implies?</p>

<p>oh yeah that question i think pitched was C or something the biologist tried to convince them or something...i think that's what i put..</p>

<p>Okay good, I had the last one (something about establishing themselves there) but then I thought that biologists manipulating was more accurate, and it's not like the cheetahs were actually choosing to establish themselves there.</p>

<p>The maverick biologists was the only one I had a hard time with in the Cheetah passage.</p>

<p>Every answer on the cheetah passage is related to the main points:</p>

<p>-The cheetah is endangered, but putting them in unnatural habitats can harm them even more.
-The genetic makeup of the cheetah sucks, so they are predicted to die soon, yet, many people say that cheetahs can definitely survive. These guys are the maverick biologists.
-Maverick biologists support real-life measurements instead of laboratory testing.
-The author also supports the maverick biologists and their views.
-The author wants people to protect the cheetahs so they can flourish, so the wolf answer would be correct.</p>

<p>Basically, it's maverick biologist (practical measurements) vs. scientists (genetic measurements) on the idea of cheetah survival and what dictates survival in the first place.</p>

<p>Maverick wasn't that hard wasn't you read/skimmed the whole passage after doing all the citations questions.</p>

<p>I think the hardest part about the cheetah section (or it could've been one of the others) was that there were many general questions interspersed throughout the chronological ones, so I had to skip a lot and come back.</p>

<p>Was one of the answers that the zoologists were incapable of the science of breeding?</p>

<p>i put that for one of them.....hope its right</p>
