<p>No, sorry 
But I do know that altruistic has to be the answer.</p>
<p>raphael youâre right. whatâs the extinction one?</p>
<p>
Yeah in addition to this, what was the other question that dealt with passage 2?</p>
<p>âWasnât one of the answers for the research scientist passage âit provided a CLUE forâŠâ and not âte discovery was a solution to the puzzleâ as it says on the compiled list?â</p>
<p>I think this was the same answer choiceâŠsomeone else said so earlier
like it provided a clue for the other pieces or something</p>
<p>whats the extinction question</p>
<p>do you guys have another answer for Cosmology Passage ? thanks :)</p>
<p>Cosmology was:
- Primary purpose
- Why the ancient astronomers were frustrated or something</p>
<p>Some of the answer choices for 2 were that their findings contradicted folktales, and that they werenât able to accurately predict celestial phenomena. Not sure about the rest or of any of them for 1.</p>
<p>What was the question relating to ânegative effects of commercial consideration?â
Was that the correct answer?</p>
<p>^ It was the one from the writer to the daughter. Donât remember the exact question. Just go through the threadâIâm pretty sure the wording is more accurate in a past post.</p>
<p>About the cosmology, Iâm almost confident that the primary purpose was the one about ancient astronomers being disproved.</p>
<p>@cjester, silverturtle,</p>
<p>âMany 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>.â</p>
<p>I completely agree with cjesterâŠ
Our interpretations are that:
âThe white statues are boring, YET the colored ones are not quite so ornate either.â
The word âeitherâ was not in the sentence, but it makes it much more easier to understand
when inserted in.</p>
<p>There was an assertion that bright colors can not be ornate:
ornate and adorned are synonymous. but our argument is that the âUNâ in âunadornedâ
brings out a double negative in the sentence that doesnât make sense:</p>
<p>âThe white ones are plain, yet the colored ones are NOT QUITE SO UNadornedâ
âThe white ones are plain, yet the colored ones are more adornedâ
Compare the above sentence with:
âThe white ones are plain, yet the colored ones are not that ornate either!â</p>
<hr>
<p>Please take the time to see our side of the argument as wellâŠ</p>
<hr>
<p>for SC⊠unflappable
what was the question ?</p>
<p>and for the one progenitor/exploit is the answer
what other choices were there?</p>
<p>I just simply dont remember helpppppppppppp</p>
<p>^the only other choice i remember was pioneer/mimic, but mimic didnât make sense so I picked progenitor/exploit.
Does anyone remember a passage about some guy talking about interviewing and there was some mention of a tape recorder⊠ughh my memory is really fuzzy.</p>
<p>was the a main purpose question for the scientist paragraph?</p>
<p>@Jamez, here is the greek sentence as best I can recall: âMany 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>.â</p>
<p>@Harmonium- I would agree that it was compunction as well</p>
<p>@fledgling- I debated between skepticism and ambivalence as well. I may be wrong but when I reread the passage (several times) I could not find anything concretely skeptical. I chose ambivalence thinking it was not quite the right definition either, but dictionary.reference.com made me feel slightly better:</p>
<p>ambivalence:
- uncertainty or fluctuation, esp. when caused by inability to make a choice or by a simultaneous desire to say or do two opposite or conflicting things.
- the coexistence within an individual of positive and negative feelings toward the same person, object, or action, simultaneously drawing him or her in opposite directions.</p>
<p>The second one especially seems to fit the author of that passage, while he was critical of people with the opinion that humor belongs in the workplace, his last paragraph said only things supporting humorists in businesses, including the quote of a business comedian saying that humor helped team building and productivity. There was nothing cynical or skeptic in that paragraph.</p>
<p>@nonono- the sentence had two blanks; the first one required a word meaning he was the first to do something, and the second needed a word basically meaning explore (which was an answer choice)
two choices were have correct: pioneer/mimic; he was a pioneer, but he was not mimicking
chronicler/explore; explore was probably the best fit for the second blank, but he was not a chronicler- he was not recording events in chronological order</p>
<p>that left progenitor/exploit; he was most certainly a progenitor, and although the connotation of exploit was perhaps marginally off in the sentence, it still made the best sense
hope that helped</p>
<p>quote: âtwo choices were have correctâ
yeah that should definitely say âhalf correctâ haha woopsâŠ</p>
<p>@cjester-- I think it was skeptical. There were sentences included in passage 2 like âWhat caused this troubling phenomenon? One possible culprit is corporate America.â</p>
<p>Skeptical does not necessarily mean that he disapproves, it just means that he is looking at the situation with a critical eye-- which he is. </p>
<p>Also, does anybody remember what they put as the answer to what the authors of both passages would agree on? I think I put âHumor is not appropriate in every situation.â</p>
<p>2 Questions:</p>
<p>For SC, what exactly was the âunflappableâ question? Does anyone remember the other answer choices?</p>
<p>For the scienctist passage, was one of the answers: âit helped provide a clue to a solution?â</p>
<p>@mictan I donât remember what the question was, but Iâm sure the answer was unflappable.</p>
<p>And I did get the âit helped provide a clueâ answer to the scientist passage.</p>
