<p>i put explanation...not pertinetn observation. he wasn't observing anything..he was explaining why some of the people in his class praised him and some were critical..and waht twain said was an explanation</p>
<p>i put </p>
<p>superficial...compromising
intemperate...inimical
mark twain- explanation
pervasive phenomenon (although i had redundancy in the beginning)
unselfish selfconciousness</p>
<p>italicized (dinosaur)- used to imply unsureness???
curator would find the exhibit important and beneficial?</p>
<p>was the one about an indian girl/advice columnist and old posessions experimental?</p>
<p>but a presumption is something that is Presumed, or assumed...isn't that what they weres saying..that the guy was assuming..and it wasn't based on actual fact ?</p>
<p>hmmmm yeah your explanation convinced me I guess it was explanation not pertinent observation.</p>
<p>dinosaur captions italicized - it was meant to suggest they were QUALIFIERS for terms which traditional scientists would abhor (the sentence after the italics was 'dogmatic scientists would call THESE heretical' or something like that)</p>
<p>B or C I believe.</p>
<p>Which he dismissed in the next line by saying nobody in the group knew that, or were very needy for Zubin's approval, IE suggesting that they weren't doing it for the mutual admiration because they weren't even aware of that quote. They could not have followed Twain's quote if they did not know about it in the first place, thus it was not an explanation for their actions. Their reactions to his writing were never explained.</p>
<p>It was innuendo (key word is VEILED)</p>
<p>I don't think it was intemperate inimical.</p>
<p>does anyone know what the CR experimental was</p>
<p>DAMN THE INDIAN COMPUTER PROGRAMMEr1 :(</p>
<p>AreYou_Nervous
Was pervasive phenomena about the "each and every word" - if so then yea.
I never had that advice columnist so im asuming experimental
And finally, for the Ah- something - for the dinosaurs, i think i put: to show the change or something (or was that not even a choice).</p>
<p>I had the passage about a chinese artist which I believe was experimental</p>
<p>^ yeah I remember putting to show the profound changes that museums have undergone or something like that</p>
<p>questionmark...I think it was intemperate inimical
intemperate means not in moderation, inimical means bad for...</p>
<p>lucifuger, actually yes the reaction IS explained. Before the quote, he says that equal numbers of people responded negatively and positively...hence he was perplexed how some could completely misinterpret what he had said...but maybe that's not a bad thing!</p>
<p>Nobody knew that...i.e. being very sarcastic
"I guess he hadn't heard of the golden rule, because he was being very mean to his classmates" - not to literally mean the boy didn't KNOW the rule, but to emphasize how mean he was being to everyone else.</p>
<p>In the same way, I think the Twain quote is a half-@ssed explanation.</p>
<p>Besides, "best answer" - as I said before, what was Twain pertinently observing in terms of the passage?</p>
<p>@Dagol12: i also said that he was surprised? by the change...or something along those lines</p>
<p>explanation vs. pertinent observation. oh dear lol.</p>
<p>in⋅nu⋅en⋅do /ˌɪnyuˈɛndoʊ/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [in-yoo-en-doh] Show IPA
–noun, plural -dos, -does. 1. an indirect intimation about a person or thing, esp. of a disparaging or a derogatory nature.
2. Law. a. a parenthetic explanation or specification in a pleading.
b. (in an action for slander or libel) the explanation and elucidation of the words alleged to be defamatory.
c. the word or expression thus explained.</p>
<p>i was stuck on that question too, but i ended up not putting explanation because i kept thinking if the classmates didn't know the quote how could it explain their feelings. something along those lines, idr exactly lol</p>
<p>in all honesty it's a BS question because there is such little difference between explanation and pertinent observation... I mean the fact that the observation is pertinent almost qualifies it as an explanation, but whatever. I think bsdber is right and it's explanation.</p>
<p>how is the answer innuendo?</p>
<p>it said something about veiled</p>
<p><em>WHOA POSTING ORDER IS GOING CRAZY</em>
and @baby98: innuendo,
"an indirect intimation about a person or thing, esp. of a disparaging or a derogatory nature." would be the best part to clip from your definition. It's basically character attacking, indirectly.</p>
<p>Besides, while perhaps innuendo may not be (and probably isn't) the best word for that sentence, I think it made better sense than the other choices. What did you put?</p>
