<p>i agree with michelle as it was INFERRED from the passage not based on GENERAL KNOWLEDGE.</p>
<p>btw michelle could u send me the list so far? plz and ty^^</p>
<p>yeah, it doesnt really relate to the passage even though it may be true.
if the passage was trying to get at the fact that men and women were equal, it would talk about them doing things together and dividing work or something. plus, equality under the law doesnt necessarily correlate to social equality.</p>
<p>I felt it was A, because Herodotus said the Egyptians are going against what the human beings are supposed to do (i.e. his perception of gender role). And since he's greek, I supposed his perception of gender role would coincide with that of the greeks in general.</p>
<p>I agree with you.</p>
<p>Its definitely not C. Its wrong . JUSt A or E .iam pretty sure. :P</p>
<p>Michelle Can u send me the new list ?? Thz :P</p>
<p>hahaha</p>
<p>A: Greek Women did the opposite of Egyptian women
B: Greek Women are lazy
C: Egyptian women are equal of Egyptian men
D: Egyptian women dominate in religion while men dominate at home
E: Nile shaped the Egyptian ways.</p>
<p>I would say it's definitely NOT A and NOT E. The passage did not speak of Greeks, and E just doesn't make any sense with the passage.
B is plain dumb.</p>
<p>It's between C and D, I chose C but I really don't know the answer.</p>
<p>It's Herotodus who wrote this. History tells you that he is Greek and he is saying that "Egyptian did everything reverse." C is wrong because the passage never spoke of "equality."</p>
<p>D is wrong because just because women go to religion places does not mean they dominate.</p>
<p>Im pretty sure that D was as such:</p>
<p>D- Egyptian women dominate at home while men dominate at religion.</p>
<p>correct me if im wrong</p>
<p>I think you are right. It is "Women dominate at home while men dominate at religion." If so the answer ist totoally wrong.</p>
<p>I know Herodotus was Greek, but the passage never mentioned Greece or he women of Greece. Therefore I think A must be wrong.</p>
<p>It seems D must be correct.</p>
<p>yeah im feeling d, which is the one i chose. the initial mistatement about the answer choice caused confusion. the correct reading is that women dominated the home, and men dominated religion.
based on the passage alone, d, in my opinion, is the most logical inferrence that can be made without involving general information.
however, we truthfully cant decide if its wrong or not.</p>
<p>But the passage talked about how Egyptian women go to the religious ceremonies while men stay at home sewing. How is it that women dominated at home?</p>
<p>i dont think it said that. i dont remember exactly. but i do know from reading the passage, i was able to determine that men dominated religious ceremonies and that women were kinda the head of the house. the fact that men did the sewing shows that women dominated that area. and im positive that it said that men ran the religious ceremonies.</p>
<p>but once again all of this is just a combination of what i can remember and what i interpret</p>
<p>ok, now I'm remembering ... i think Kscnoko is right.</p>
<p>hehe, conclusive proof:</p>
<p>Egyptian</a> customs</p>
<p>there's the complete herodotus quote.</p>
<p>I think it's C then, for the test passage did not mention Greece, but it did say "the Egyptians themselves in their manners and customs seem to have reversed the ordinary practices of mankind."</p>
<p>I presume that is close enough to cross-cultural examination ... though it's impossible for me to say I'm right ...</p>
<p>lol that you found that</p>
<p>can we determine the right answer?</p>
<p>I support candidate C.</p>
<p>Candidate D, as he was INFERRED from the passage(s)</p>
<p>Who is he?</p>
<p>i think its d. we also should remember that that entire passage was not printed in the sat. only part of it.</p>
<p>i dunno.
im done with this q.</p>
