<p>Wow, confusing epistle for epithet is pretty upsetting…</p>
<p>It wasn’t bolster. It was deprecate. The question was something like he tried to ______ the guy’s defense, but instead strengthened it by accident. Bolster means to strength and deprecate means to put down.</p>
<p>@ chibistar6: You got lucky; it was “rancor”. :)</p>
<p>How the hell was it didactic!?!? NO! It’s reflective, because the author of passage 1 used personal voice (“I”) while the second didnt!!</p>
<p>It’s didactic because the speaker of passage 1 is teacher her daughter how to write novels. It even says it in the description before you read it.</p>
<p>its bolster he was saying he was trying to strengthen his defense</p>
<p>
actually I do think it was bolster. I put deprecate at first but then realized that the evidence strengthened the accuser’s position, not the defendant’s.
So although the witness thought her evidence would strengthen the defendant’s position, it actually ended up strengthening the accuser’s position.
that one was tricky :/</p>
<p>^ That’s what I thought too, andyjo24, but if you look at the definition of “didactic”, it really means “instruction”.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You misread the question. The witness’s testimony, originally intended to ______ the defense of the accused, actually strengthened the case of the accusers. </p>
<p>It was intended to help the accused, but helped the accuser. Aka BOLSTER</p>
<p>Yeah, the witness was supporse to bolster (support) the defense, but ended up supporting the prosecution.</p>

<p>I am kicking myself off this thread - now that I know I got one wrong in CR, I’m kind of scared to think about any more potential errors. </p>
<p>Bye all!</p>
<p>DAMNNNNNN i hate when I know what words mean but can’t read the effen question.</p>
<p>Anyway, it was didactic because if you read the italicized thing on top, it said that it was a father trying to teacher his daughter who just became an author or something like that.</p>
<p>Edify would be synonym for didactic. Both mean to teach or instructionize.</p>
<p>Since no one posts in the writing section, do you guys remember whether the writing section had a passage about Ireland or about wind</p>

<p>I put lightheartedness… it didn’t JUST talk about his mom, it talked about him being happy with his dad under the stars too…</p>

<p>Omg, I was going to put lighthearted, but I decided not to cause I thought it would be the wrong answer when I was down to “Lighthearted” or “Wistfulness.”</p>

<p>is was DEFINITELY bolster. This was definitely kind of a logic question (pretty tricky!) His intention was to bolster, or strengthen, the defendant’s argument. In, other words, he was trying to appease the defendant by bolstering his argument. But, he ended up actually strengthening the accuser’s argument, therefore, weakening the defendant’s position.</p>
