<p>I only have a question about one thing. On the passage where the scientist was making of the people who criticized the disorder of the universe, and he said thats where we live after all - the question asked what this indicated the scientist was saying. I could be wrong, but i remember thinking the choice about how silly the critics were seemed correct</p>
<p>There was a bit of a debate about this, but I think the consensus was that the other scientists not being taken seriously answer wasn’t supported by the text, while it explicitly said he looked past the dust and planets (astrophysical characteristics).</p>
<p>Is there a consensus on what effect did the girl putting the string on the doll have? I’m pretty sure it wasn’t to keep her from falling off because that’s the REASON she put the doll on the string, but not what effect it had.</p>

How would author of passage 2 view someone mentioned in passage 2 -Agreement ?
Agreement (new class for of teaching)
Parochial
Metaphor for proximity
Objectivity</p>
<p>I’m not sure if all of these are correct…</p>
<p>it was like “anyone in the office of commissioner needs to be used to getting a lot of criticism, and commissioner x was certainly _____ to it”</p>
<p>What was the antithetical question?
In the texting passage, I remember getting passage 1 denounces it while passage 2 criticizes it less. Is that the same answer as the one you have?</p>
<p>I don’t think Laconic is correct. I though I remember the question being something like ,“The astronauts were not very detailed in their reports but their <em>something</em> in contrast were very _________.”</p>
<p>Laconic means using few words, so I don’t think it fits the sentence at all. I could be remembering the sentence incorrectly or i could have misread it…</p>
<p>maybe the second agreement question was actually appreciation…hope this helps fill in a few more questions…</p>
<p>wasnt the astronaut one they were “hardly expansive in their reports… laconic”</p>
<p>Are you guys sure it is “concealed within”?
I think it was something like "The Queen wanted some miniatures of her but her mother didn’t allow because they were ______ her ring. I’m not sure though, because it made no sense…</p>
<p>And… is that “cajolery/play” or “bribery/affection”? I don’t think “cajolery” was mentioned</p>
<p>And it should be laconic.</p>
<p>Yeah, they were hardly expansive in their reports, meaning that they were breif, yet when they did whatever, it was ______________. I think the word should have been the opposite of laconic.</p>
<p>What was the parochial question Was it double blank</p>
<p>it was an answer to one of the reading passages that talked about globalization</p>
<p>For the question about the scientist’s statement (‘we do live on this planet’), I’m pretty sure the answer had something to do with not taking the ‘extragalactic’ scientists seriously. He was directing that comment at all of the other astronomers who dismissed the solar system as being uninteresting. What do astrophysical characteristics have to do with it…?</p>
<p>What was the antithetical question?
In the texting passage, I remember getting passage 1 denounces it while passage 2 criticizes it less. Is that the same answer as the one you have?</p>
<p>@Tokoname,</p>
<p>Have you ever read those silly practice examples — something like this :</p>
<p>He wasn’t usually considered nice…far from it, he was looked at as a mean guy.</p>
<p>^ This is similar to the question we had. Even though “far from it” implies a change, it’s referring to a change in the word “nice” not the words “wasn’t nice”.</p>
