<p>Does anyone remember their sentence completion answers in the CR vocabulary? It'd be helpful if you could give the sentence it was in (of course, not the exact sentence :P)</p>
<p>i remember </p>
<p>vituperative
indifferent (students during the vietnam era or something)</p>
<p>Yeah, I got the vituperative one wrong, I'm convinced. </p>
<p>I remember three words from one question about students who used calculators all their lives and saw a test saying they couldn't. They found this test to be ______</p>
<p>I narrowed it down to:</p>
<p>anachronistic
prescient (I think)
erudite</p>
<p>Erudite, I later found out, is no where near correct so I'm glad I eliminated it. I was left with . . . </p>
<p>anachronstic, prescient</p>
<p>I'm very unsure, but I chose prescient. A common meaning is 'far-sighted, but another meaning is 'ominous'. The key detail in the sentence is that these kids had been using calculators all thier lives, and now they couldn't. I leaned towards anachronistic, but I chose prescient as I didn't think anachronistic fit well enough (it isn't really out of proper chronological placement in any way . . . but I'm not 100% sure). Comments?</p>
<p>almost 100% sure it's anachronistic and here's why:</p>
<p>anachronistic means out of place in relations to time, we've est. that</p>
<p>students have been using calcs all their lives</p>
<p>this test says they cannots use calcs</p>
<p>this test is out of place, out of date</p>
<p>no, it doesn't fit completely, but the test only asks for the best answer. i dont' see how it could be prescient...how is the fact that they can't use calculators ominous? I mean, if you twist it enough it could be considered ominous, but i don't think CB expects you to twist it that much...</p>
<p>I see what you're saying, but I think it's somewhat of a twist to say anachronistic because I can't really see the relation between using calculators all one's life, and then being told not to as far as chronology goes. I'm actually leaning toward your answer more because I have doubts, but I'm still straddling the fence a bit.</p>
<p>I guess anachrnostic might make more sense--I just have trouble seeing how something that even acknowledges calculators exist is out of chronological order--or even out of place. I'm trying to figure out whether 'prescient' fits less . . . . hmm. I'm still about 50-50 in what I think, but I'd bet you're right, though.</p>
<p>true, the fact that it acknowledge the existence of calculators is somewhat telling...but i think the CB was trying to point out the fact that since students are so used to calculators, it's ANACHRONISTIC that a test should tell them not to use calculators.</p>
<p>see what i mean?</p>
<p>Somewhat. I think you're probably right, regardless, just because your answer is more probable.</p>
<p>I remember putting down those words Vituperative and Anachronistic down as answers.</p>
<p>I also remember putting down 'straightforward' in a sentence about a road... and 'dilatory' about some the destruction about a law or something.</p>
<p>I know for sure that straightforward and dilatory are correct. From what I've heard, vituperative is also correct. I'm unsure, but I'm more convinced that anachronistic is correct.</p>
<p>Do you remember what the vocab was for the experimental section?</p>
<p>Murasaki the two words I narrowed it down too on the calculator question were Unequivocal and Anachronistic. After looking up unequivocal I'm pretty positive that the answer is Anachronistic. (many ppl I know agree too)</p>
<p>What were some of the wrong answers for the dilatory question?</p>
<p>the correct answer was dilatory....forestalled (I believe)
the only answer that I was thinking about was an answer with Thwarted.</p>
<p>Was thwarted an answer on the "dilatory" sentence or a different sentence?</p>
<p>Same sentence.</p>
<p>Yeah, it wad definately dilatory and forestalled.</p>
<p>What was the match with thwarted? Thanks, I still cannot remember what I put.</p>
<p>I remember i got something with facilitate....</p>
<p>I believe it was unpremediated... thwarted (wrong answer) but that was the complete choice..... can't believe I missed that one. :(</p>
