<p>no, it asked for passage #1's tone.</p>
<p>passage 1 here.</p>
<p>What were some of the passsages/questions for section 3 of CR that was experimental?</p>
<p>I put severe for passage 1 as well. I sincerely hope it was asking for passage 1.</p>
<p>What about the Venus question where it asked for the purpose of the 2nd paragraph. Was it to show 2 distinct theories or to show that people romanticized Venus throughout history? I put romanticized, but there wasn't evidence about the "throughout history" part so I'm uncertain about my answer. Thoughts anyone?</p>
<p>I put to show two distinct theories</p>
<p>^^^ me too</p>
<p>^same here.</p>
<p>IT WAS ILL-CONCIEVED for the last time...they werent trying to imitate anything...they were trying to create educational "junk", but the author said that there wasn't any such thing as "junk" that is educational...therefore, the idea of the whole creation is wrong...in other words, ill concieved</p>
<p>i also dont think emphatic and dry humor were correct...but i could definitely be wrong on these</p>
<p>I put emphatic and dry humor. If it wasn't dry humor what else would it have been?</p>
<p>how is the answer to the puerto rican girl passage "fearful and uncertain" when the passage clearly states that she "knows what problems lie ahead of her." Therefore, the only other logical answer is "resigned and defeated"</p>
<p>see, people are thinking waaay differently, I dunno where they are coming up with this "uncertain" I mean they clearly stated that she "knew the problems that lie ahead of her" or something, so that cancels fearful and uncertain out. Everything else just didn't work either, so the only think that comes close is resigned and defeated. A lot of people jumped to their own conclusions how she knew there were problems, but she didn't know WHICH problems. See, what I've learned about the SAT's is that the answer is always in the passage in some way, shape, or form, there is no assuming or guessing, that's why you can't assume she didn't know of the problems ahead. Keep it simple guys, that's all it is, c'mon, we're all smart here. If somehow I'm wrong, then I'll eat my words.</p>
<p>Do you remember which passages were on the experimental CR section 3?</p>
<p>Simple, the answer was UNCERTAIN and DRY HUMOR</p>
<p>hey in the puerto rican passage, when the two were examining each other, was it "cautiously take note of"? i don't even remember seeing that answer.. i put "suspiciously [something]"...</p>
<p>i really dont see how it was dry humor, when bobby's intention was to mock Lewis becuase he was just another middle classer that was supposedly concerned about the environment or something...that would mean he's criticizing Lewis.</p>
<p>"bobby's intention was to mock Lewis becuase he was just another middle classer that was supposedly concerned about the environment or something"</p>
<p>No. He wasn't mocking Lewis. Lewis differed from the middle class people in that he did not lie down and let the feeling pass. The dry humor was poking fun at said middle class people... Lewis not included.</p>
<p>"Lewis differed from the middle class people in that he did not lie down and let the feeling pass."</p>
<p>True. But Bobby then said that the feeling would eventually pass, just like it did for other middle class people. So, he was mocking/criticizing him. And even if what you said were true, poking fun at the middle class people would not be considered dry humor, but criticism. he would be criticizing middle class people for letting the feeling pass.</p>

<p>The poking fun was done in a lighthearted tone and meant to elicit similarly amused reactions, so I think criticism is too harsh.</p>
<p>I was going to put the choice "explicit criticism", but upon re-reading the lines in the passage over and over, I had to go with "dry humor" because the other explorer who made this remark was being somewhat facetious and making a mockery of Lewis at the same time.</p>
<p>Besides, "explicit criticism" is too strong.</p>
