<p>Shouldn’t it be loss of identity because the author talked about how modernism was initially made for utilitarianism.</p>
<p>^I picked lost public favor (because of “defenseless public”) but I now think that debased is the right choice.</p>
<p>Again, does anyone remember a question that asked for what do lines 61-81 or something like that say about the assertion at lines 61-62? I don’t even remember what passage it was from.</p>
<p>And the “both viewed modernistic architecture as tasteless (they both were offended by it)”. Did that answer choice contain the phrase “lapse in judgment”? And “didn’t provide the alternative”, did that question contain an answer choice “didn’t provide location where to put the office buildings”, which was wrong?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It never lost the public’s favor. It only lost the author and Prince William’s favor.</p>
<p>The only long passages were architecture, Seva, and journalism. Seva didn’t have assertions. So it was either architecture or journalism.</p>
<p>And I’m pretty sure the author did provide the alternative to ugly office buildings. It was classical, boring old architecture. He went on to criticize it, yes, but it was an alternative.</p>
<p>Can someone explain why the answer was “Eager hopefulness” for the science/ignorance one? :/</p>
<p>And what do you guys reckon the curve to be…?</p>
<p>What was the correct answer then?</p>
<p>He didn’t say where they should be placed.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>He only criticized modernism; he never explicitly stated something that’s better. I remember checking that the other 4 choices were there. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Because the author stated that ignorance should not be construed as a negative thing.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>My guess:</p>
<p>-0, -1, -2=800
-3=780
-4=770</p>
<p>EDIT:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>As far as I can remember, I don’t think that was a choice.</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter if he agreed with it or not. A mention of a non-modern architecture alternative was definitely there.</p>
<p>But how was the hopefulness EAGER?</p>
<p>they were looking forward towards the future and space. eager.</p>
<p>it was “eager hopefulness” because the author asserted that the reason y “our” ignorance was the greatest discorvery was because instead of being discouraged about it, we can eagerly strive to fill this void. At least that’s how I understood it</p>
<p>i got these for the following ones
1.) I said uncertain/bewilder but now see that skeptical/satisfied has to be correct now
2.) in the passage it said that Charles liked modernism before but now it was become lapsed into badness or something. Is tasteless the same choicee?
3.) I said it modernism lost its identity because it was at first an (egalitarian but now is only for financially endeavors.</p>
<p>The journalist in passage two most certainly advocated a point. It said “the only good news is that students are taking protests or whatever against these policies”
Unless anyone can find something in passage one that took a stand.</p>
<p>As for the “consequences of a trend” vs “broader context” one, I put consequences of a trend. </p>
<p>the 1st author argued that humans have told stories to each other throughout history. so has story-telling technique constantly chanced as a result of that. Now, with the advances in technology, it’s taking on a new form once again (from old traditional paper based media to internet based media, New Age Media). so as a result of that trend that has been observed throughout history, New Age Media is taking over.</p>
<p>Ya the tasteless one is the same answer choice your refferring to.
and I second your reasoning as to why ‘lost its identity’ should be the correct answer.</p>
<p>@gohackers, exactly how I viewed it.</p>
<p>The author was happy we found out about our ignorance. Have you ever heard the saying you know what you don’t know? It follows the same logic. The whole point of the article from my perspective was talking about how there is much much more out there. The universe, I remember he said something along the lines doesn’t revolve around us. Now that we know the universe doesn’t revolve around us (and other things of course, just one example) we can figure more things out.</p>
<p>That’s a succinct version of the passage, but does this answer your question on why it’s eager hopefulness?</p>
<p>DOES ANYONE think that modernism was a “victim of its own success” because it was being criticized for its preeminence? i mean the reason the author was criticizing it was because it was become far too overused</p>
