Critical Reading Vocabulary clarifications

<p>For the question about Scientists _______ several different findings to _________ one definite pattern, what did you guys get? The two choices that are debatable are 1) synthesize, crystallize or 2) compromise, coalesce</p>

<p>On the last passage, was the author being "wry" or "inquisitive"??</p>

<p>Any other vocabulary that you guys were questioning of?</p>

<p>It was Synthesize/Crystallize and Wry</p>

<p>For sure it was synthesize? How sure are you?</p>

<p>100%</p>

<p>Compromise makes the second answer choice wrong.</p>

<p>for ‘wry’, does that describe the attitude of the author or the people who asks those questions?
it did sound wry but I don’t think the author was attacking people for being sexist</p>

<p>wry - it is the author’s tone in the sentecne. The tone is clearly ironic = wry.</p>

<p>Wry i completely believe. And I chose synthesize so I am happy that is the choice!!!</p>

<p>What was the answer to that same passage- Number 8.</p>

<p>The metaphor of the “Tip of the Iceberg” is:</p>

<p>1) The rigid social structure OR 2) the reserved thought etc. etc…</p>

<p>bumpppppppp</p>

<p>anyone want to clarify if synthesize/crystallize was the correct answer?</p>
