January 2010 Critical Reading

<p>Oh. Uh something about folk tales and the inability for people to accurate depict the movement of stars b/c they moved in 3D space and this led to the evolution of cosmology. </p>

<p>Something along those lines.</p>

<p>What were the answer choices for the steadfast question sentence completion?
Please help!
I think I misbubbled and if so, I may have to cancel my test</p>

<p>I wish I could add my Kean’s Stamp of Approval to that list.</p>

<p>my 800 is still looking pretty good
waht does silverturtle think of the appreciative vs envious one?</p>

<p>Once again, silverturtle = BEAST!
Thanks for that (:</p>

<p>silverturtle:</p>

<p>what were the questions referring to with the answers:</p>

<p>Diversity/Unpalatable
Integral/Extinction
and the father’s answers are incomplete? </p>

<p>?</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>whooooo, thanks silverturtle!!</p>

<p>that list conspicuously does not mark rancor or austere with an asterisk, I note…</p>

<p>I hate when I zoom over easy vocab and then forget ever doing those problems. Creates unnecessary paranoia! </p>

<p>Anyone remember the question/answers for that integral/extinction one? It was like…codfish and ecosytems?</p>

<p>@ wheatbread</p>

<p>it was like fish has drastically descreased the diversity of underwater plant life; it only spares those it finds unpalatable</p>

<p>and yea, codfish are integral part of the ecosystem, its extinction would bring disastrous consequences</p>

<p>still waiting on silverturtle to lay down the law on the envy vs appreciative one for the scientists</p>

<p>It was definitely appreciative about the scientists.</p>

<p>the codfish were such an integral part of the ecosystem that their extinction would adversely affect the other fish populations, more or less</p>

<p>-2 so far… could actually be -0 but i am in the minority</p>

<p>and i dont think u can say it was definitely one or the other
the author was like those who were this were great. amongst those, even fewer possessed this other amazing quality</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>^ Kean is correct.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>-2 is still an 800 usually, so you’re in good shape. I love the CR curve; I have a two-question margin for error in case we are wrong about anything.</p>

<p>Diversity/Unpalatable</p>

<p>What was that talk about again? I totally forgot…</p>

<p>Okay. I know we’ve established that the author of Passage 2 is being skeptical of humor in the workplace, and is not hostile, but I vaguely recall that there was an answer choice that was “ambivalence”. I’m not sure what the difference is between “ambivalence” and “skepticism”; it seems to be rather small. I don’t remember what I actually put as an answer, but can somebody please tell me why it would not be “ambivalence”? </p>

<p>Thanks. :)</p>

<p>okay thanks jester and ray </p>

<p>it was definitely appreciative.</p>

<p>he/ she said it makes scientists exciting and excited blah blah blah</p>

<p>since he views them as exciting, he must feel appreciation towards them. if it were to be envy, that part would be laced with words that are far more acerbic</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I am confident enough to list those without qualification. “consternation” could be right instead of “rancor,” but it’s only remotely likely.</p>

<p>Alright, I’ve looked through as much of the forum as I can, but can’t seem to find it. Can anyone semi-accurately recreate the Greek statue sentence for me?</p>
