<p>Does anyone remember the other choices for the Penchant/Locution one?</p>
<p>"wait…if the fathers reasons were PRACTICal
wouldnt they be
DEFENSIBLE? "</p>
<p>No. The question was asking how the guy viewed the opinions of the other guy…and he thought they were incomplete, since he said there were “other, less sentimental reasons.”</p>
<p>@whisperofrain
“distaste/aphorisms,” “knack, epistles,” and “penchant/locutions” are the three answer choices I remember; the other two I easily eliminated.</p>
<p>i agree with Vlectric</p>
<p>what was the wording for the artistic integrity question</p>
<p>@billsrage
“in the 2nd passage, the “serious writers (line x)” are most concerned with?”</p>
<p>It was something alone those lines.</p>
<p>thanks everyone for creating the consolidated list.</p>
<p>But can someone remind me what the question containing the answer
“Pro-Humor guy in Passage 2 argues that humor increases workplace productivity” was? And whta the other possible choices for that were?</p>
<p>Can someone explain the novelty one to me?</p>
<p>I put shock but that was only because I didn’t understand the others.
It said that they keep on switching around ads so I thought they were using the element of surprise to keep their customers interested. I didn’t get novely so I just put shock.</p>
<p>does anyone remember what other answer choices were for the “artistic integrity” one… because i dont remember that question at all…</p>
<p>@ invisiblemonster
although your reasoning makes complete sense, as they were incomplete… but they were also defensible because THEY COULD BE defended by MORE evidence… soo technically its like defensible, incomplete answers. lol. i think it could be both. anyone else have more to add that supports one over the other?</p>
<p>what was the question for the “explain a problem that affected the field” again?</p>
<p>@thispakistannigir,
The passage talked about how businesses generally don’t stick with a single campaign for a long period of time; instead, they switch around campaigns. “Novelty” definitely works best here.</p>
<p>I think “shock” has more of a negative connotation. Also, they kept switching adds, which means that they are showing new adds to customers. Novelty seems like the answer there.</p>
<p>@IAmABeat
I think you’re trying to pull more out of the passage than there is. Although one may think that “they COULD be defended by MORE evidence,” the passage never mentioned that possibility. “Incomplete” more directly and undoubtedly answers the question.</p>
<p>for the earl/virgil passage</p>
<p>what was the question for "father’s reasons were incomplete?</p>
<p>any other choices?</p>
<p>“does anyone remember what other answer choices were for the “artistic integrity” one… because i dont remember that question at all…”</p>
<p>I think one of the other answers choices may have had to do with the commercial aspects of their books…and I’m fairly certain that this question was distinct from the question whose answer was “Negative effects of commercial consideration.” In fact, I think the question whose answer I think was “artistic integrity” was the question right before the question whose answer was “Negative effects of commercial consideration.”</p>
<p>@antonioray,
The question was something along the lines of “what did one character think about the list of reasons that the other character gave?”</p>
<p>The only answer choices I remember are incomplete and defensible.</p>
<p>InvisibleMonster–Narrow minded and Humorous were others I think.</p>
<p>And the last one was amusing, I think.</p>
<p>So- incomplete (the correct answer), defensible, narrow-minded, humorous, and amusing. :)</p>
<p>oh yes… now i remember… but i think it was the “commercial aspects of their books” for that answer… because it was in the same paragraph as the next question… and also, the second passage discussed how they wanted to please the readers more than anything else… which signifies the commercial aspects over artistic integrity… artistic integrity would have to do with the first passage.</p>
