<p>I, too, do not remember a question with “isolation.” Was it experimental?</p>
<p>^ Or maybe the poster just wasn’t recalling the choices correctly… 
</p>
<p>Can you help jog my memory on the astronomy passage? For some reason, I really don’t remember what it was about, although I vaguely remember that it was on my test…</p>
<p>what was the question governing appreciation vs envy?</p>
<p>and also, did anyone have a passage about a professor
nanny and her son about roots of negative numbers</p>
<p>how did the nanny refer to the professor</p>
<p>with awestruck reverence(not what i put)
or appreciation (what i put)</p>
<p>also, i dont think you can make the arguement that lightheartedness is too “unserious”
instead, it think it describes the meshing between a boy and his father perfectly</p>
<p>you’d have to imply wayyyyyyyyyy too far in order to arrive at the mother thing
she is mentioned but once, and like i said, even the sentence that she appears in is more concerned with the father becoming the boy’s friend</p>
<p>still waiting on sturtle’s laying down of the perspective of lightheartedness vs wistfulness lol</p>
<p>I think so. </p>
<p>I put envious. But I really wasn’t sure. I couldn’t find something that supported <em>why</em> the author would be appreciative of these scientists…</p>
<p>It was like…</p>
<p>Those who do accomplish this feat turn out to be the best scientists, the best researchers (etc with more superlatives). </p>
<p>The tone was either envy or appreciative.</p>
<p>oh that question
i put envy cus the author was like so few actually possess the best of both worlds</p>
<p>damn im starting to disagree with alot of ppl here…</p>
<p>The passage about the prof is experimental. I didn’t have it.</p>
<p>What! I didn’t think the tone was envious at all… I put appreciation.</p>
<p>I do recall that the “best scientists” sentence within the actual passage was the last sentence in a paragraph. Why would he just suddenly bring up that point if he was personally envious? </p>
<p>@antonioray: I suppose, but “wistfulness” is still a much better answer. Also, I had that experimental section. (I put appreciation)</p>
<p>I chose appreciation, just because astonishment (I believe the other choice was) didn’t seem to fit, and neither did the others. </p>
<p>And I also chose wistful for the same reasons as Kean and amaaayzing. But I picked the night sky instead of revelation of his father’s affection because I didn’t see much affection coming from the father, other than him just spending time with his son which, in my opinion, doesn’t automatically signify that he feels affection(though I was between those two answers). Perhaps it was my way of reading it… </p>
<p>But yea… after reading these answers, I can just feel my self-esteem plummeting because I got at least 7 wrong in CR 
Definitely going to have to take it a second time.</p>
<p>Edit:: And appreciation for the scientist one (for me)</p>
<p>wait why do are you guys saying austere and unadorned?</p>
<p>this is the original sentence:</p>
<p>Many people find the white, <em>(other adjective here)</em> Greek statues widely found in museums to be _<strong><em>, yet newly discovered statues containing traces of bright pigments do not seem quite so _</em></strong>."</p>
<p>if you say austere; unadorned</p>
<p>logically that would mean that the last part says: yet, newly discovered statues containing traces of bright pigments seem adorned. (based on the double negative: i.e. he is not unflappable would logically mean he is flappable- im sure you guys know that but im just using that as an example)
the YET would make that incorrect. </p>
<p>people find the greek statues plain, but YET the bright pigments do not seem ornate fits logically</p>
<p>or maybe im missing something here</p>
<p>I don’t fully comprehend why people aren’t understanding the austere/unadorned one. </p>
<p>Bright pigments are not ornate things?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The boy was longing for his mother; such yearning is in perfect harmony with “wistfulness.” The situation was not lighthearted; it was emotional.</p>
<p>^wheatbread, you seem to have dug up my post from a few pages ago that kind of got lost… haha</p>
<p>Anybody keeping up the compiled list?</p>
<p>Aaaaah! I’m still waiting for the verdict on the astronomy question since I don’t remember a single thing about it. Can someone please remind me so I won’t stress over it anymore? :)</p>
<p>I put that they were a problem led to a discovery and that they were unable to explain the visible phenomenon,</p>
<p>^ Alright… but what was the question asking for? What was the passage actually about? I’m completely clueless here lol</p>
<p>celestial phenomenon was the answer, im pretty positive</p>
<p>i think the movement of the bodies was put in as a trick answer . i forgot the exact part of the passage but i recall something in there that related to the celestial bodies in much broader terms than simply “movement” , hence, phenomenon</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I am still in uniform agreement with the answers in this compiled list. Nonetheless, asterisks indicate reasonably contested questions.</p>
