<p>If you had the version with a critical reading passage on Asian sightings...
Were the parents being thorough and systematic, or contentious and overwrought?</p>
<p>not contentious and overwrought, but i couldnt decide between critical and democralizing and thorough and systemetic
i picked thorough and systematic, but might be wrong (50% sure)</p>
<p>I think I put critical and demoralizing.</p>
<p>I can't remember what the exact question was - whether it was referring to what the author thought of her parents' comments or something else. If so, then the author described herself being embarassed and frustrated, feeling that her parents were being critical and demoralizing.</p>
<p>i put systematic and thorough because it asked what the list of words (I forget what they were) implied about the parents attitude.</p>
<p>Uh...I put "innocuous and laughable"(no...it wasn't laughable, but something similar...)</p>
<p>I mean, the parents examined ethnicity and height and other just ridiulously obvious things, and didn't mean anything by their comments, even though it irritated the author.</p>
<p>I was between "thorough and systematic" and my choice, however, but I leaned toward my pick because that list didn't seem systematic or thorough enough. </p>
<p>The reason I didn't put "critical and demoralizing" was because the parents weren't intending to demoralize their children...but, that's only my opinion.</p>
<p>I went with thorough and systematic because i recall there being somethig comparing them to doctors and i used the connotations of that comparison for my decision.</p>
