<p>How hard do you guys think the curve will be for CR? how many could one miss and still get an 800?</p>
<p>okay so does everyone agree that its: </p>
<p>expanding on preceding generalizations </p>
<p>distinctive to researchers</p>
<p>appreciation and not astonishment??</p>
<p>^ Agreed on all counts.</p>
<p>yes yes yes yes</p>
<p>What was the question for appreciation vs astonishment?</p>
<p>Oh, and one of my answers was hostility. Don’t remember the question.</p>
<p>It can’t be “inexpensive motels” because the kid said that his Dad’s idea was to go the whole way without using any motels (but ended up doing so anyways)</p>
<p>Can’t be scenic route either because the kid says “less sentimental reasons” and wanting to take the scenic route is of equal sentimentality as not wanting to take the non-scenic route.</p>
<p>I got it down to either faster travel or less cities. I eliminated faster travel because the kid says cars on the turnpike were going by like cards off of a card deck. I interpreted that to mean that they were going faster.</p>
<p>I did put hostility too… I almost put skepticism</p>
<p>Hm, I was debating between hostility (E) and the one above it, (D). I decided on D because I felt E was too severe of an emotion.</p>
<p>also, advertisers use persistence or novelty?</p>
<p>I think I put (C) - “ambivalence”, though (D) is probably correct.</p>
<p>Advertisers use “novelty”. </p>
<p>And Randwulf, that was MY reasoning for why I chose “faster travel”, though no one else in this thread agreed. :(</p>
<p>They kept using new campaigns, so it’s “novelty.”</p>
<p>How do advertisers use novelty? They persist by switching around.</p>
<p>I still stand by hostility.</p>
<p>
I ended up putting skepticism. I thought hostility was too extreme; when I read the phrase aloud in my head I automatically read it with skepticism so I put that down for my answer :p</p>
<p>even if u know they’re wrong, does anybody remember the choices besides hostility and skepticism</p>
<p>What was the question for distinctive to researchers?</p>
<p>For the advertisers, I said novelty, because instead of trying to build a long-term image of a product, advertisers use different short-term tricks to keep customer attention.</p>
<p>hostility, ambivalnce, and skepticism are the only ones i remember.</p>
<p>and I don’t think it was skepticism because the author wasn’t doubting the advertisement strategy - he was wholly against it.</p>
<p>Advertiser’s use novelty, and I think I ultimately chose skepticism. The passage didn’t really convey hostility to me</p>

<p>@fledgling</p>
<p>Yeah I saw :p</p>
<p>That was a tricky one.</p>
<p>But the passage specifically says that they didn’t intend to use any motels and to do a “straight sweep” from Chicago to NYC. Motels simply cannot be correct.</p>
<p>It was either faster travel or fewer cities.</p>
<p>I’m leaning towards fewer cities but I’m not sure.</p>
