<p>hey guys i had a few doubts coz cr i my strong point but im unsure bout 2- questions. Id appreciate if ull cud help me out:
- what did “black expatriate(or whtever that was)” mean ??
- in the lawyer passasge wht was the ans to the q which had options like the jury wudnt believe an illogical statement or sth like that, and jurors and easy to manipulate… (i chose the latter)
- wht was teh answer to that sentence completion bouth the chick hu did too many things ? i picked distill/versitile … iv couted it as wrong though.</p>
<p>and btw its deffinately “fleeting” fr the 1st sentence compl. because it hasto be an opposite of concrete and it sd its not easily captured… i dont know why ppl here think it was concrete thats the 1st thing i eliminated.</p>
<p>and the ans to the 1st passage question on the sea thing is “frustration” coz the girl was ****d as a kid bout not having anything left to discover. its all there in the paragraph !</p>
<p>i messed up math bigtime though… already 6 wrong !! wht dyu think the reading curve will be like ? u think i cud still manage an 800 with 2-3 wrong ?</p>
<p>cr_freak)))
first I don’t remember the choices but it was like Black artist living outside the country(?)
second one was definately that the jury is easy to manipulate
third one was not distill/versatile it was something else I cannot remember</p>
<p>fleeting is right, frustration is also right.</p>
<p>But what do you think about the bus driver question and the last question of sea passage(concede to a point vs obstacle)?</p>
<p>I think to get 800, -2 is possible but not never 3</p>
<p>^ 1) Black expatriate means blacks living abroad
2) I chose that the jury won’t believe in an illogical statement. THe second passage said something like “good lawyers take all the evidence and form them into a logical narrative” blablabla while first passage emphasized that the lawyers can just make anything up. If you think about it, manipulate is a pretty negative word, and usaully means to persuade someone into believing something false. Passage 2 was praising lawyers’ use of stories, so I don’t think the author would agree that lawyers MANIPULATE jurors.
3) I think that one was “squander…[something]”</p>
<p>it was deffinately to concede a pont coz she “agrees” to the usage of microscope.
and the bus driver qs were
- exagerated self imp. coz thats wht “imperious” means
- hostile attitude coz he dint like the fact that the woman was mking him do that work.</p>
<p>and the jusry is easily manipulated is another question im askin bout what the 2nd authors response to the 1st passages author would be.</p>
<p>Oh and for self-importance, I remember the author mentioned that the driver’s seat was like a THRONE</p>
<p>thanks a lot oceangel… im gettin 2 wrong fr sure then coz i dint pick squander and i stupidly picked the evolution of dance and theater!! i realized “evolution” afteri finishd the section nd the super strict examiner would hav killd me if i turned back…</p>
<p>^ no problem^^ i feel ya, that happened to me for one of the CR questions about “sinecure” T_T I realized the right answer but didn’t have time to go back and change it…instead I left it blank =( </p>
<p>I first chose easily manipulated…but then the word MANIPULATE doesn’t seem right for the tone of the second passage…</p>
<p>I thought that passage one said jury is easy to manipulate, but passage 2 was making a counter argument about that, saying that lawyers don’t “manipulate”, but instead arrange the facts so that they are clear</p>
<p>no easily manipulated is correct coz both passages are about lawyers manipulating the jury. the difference is that the 1st one mocks the fact and the second one lauds it.</p>
<p>In the second passage, I saw two words that the author implied that the jury is easily manipulated, one of which was “gullible” jury.
The author’s point was “not” that the jury is “not” easily manipulated. The point was that the lawyers do not use their storytelling to manipulate the jury. Thus, while the author lauds the lawyers, the author concedes that the jury is easily manipulated.</p>
<p>i kno thats the right ans. thts wht i ticked i meant - no, easily manipulated i correct.</p>
<p>no to oceangel hu thinks its wrong</p>
<p>ooo…yeah well that was one of the questions I wasn’t so sure on …aww…another one wrong T_T</p>
<p>lol~ I still have some answers that are unsure.
Oceanangle what do you think about the one about
the Nemo question? Many people, I think, chose there is no
world parellel but I chose “scientists have long feared the unknown” or something.</p>
<p>Frustration > Curiosity I think.</p>
<p>I still disagree with some about the “conceding a point.”</p>
<p>for the bus driver question… was there a choice that said something like he wasn’t kind to the passengers or something like that?</p>
<p>the first question had “the driver did not care about the comfort of the customers”
but I don’t think that is the answer.
the second had “hostile attitude”</p>
<p>^ was that the “hostile attitude”?</p>
<p>yh98srk, for the Nemo question, I also chose scientists have feared and desired the unknown, but I wasn’t 100% sure. I chose this because the quote was “who lies in the deep ABYSS” and that nobody had dared go down there before, yet they have asked the question for 6000 years. I’m still not completely convinced this is really wrong, but majority here chose “no parallel”. I didn’t really get the meaning of this choice during the test, so didn’t think that much about it. I didn’t understand what this “parallel” was refering to: was it saying there’s no parallel that anyone went down so deep in the ocean?
What do you think?</p>
<p>the nemo questions ans is that there isnt any parallel in the real world coz he clearly states that only 2 ppl hav been to the depths - “nemo and i” \i.e noone else has gone meaning there is no parallel in the real world. and btw. “I” is part of the quote and does NOT refer to the author.</p>
<p>wht do ull think is the answer to the negociations sentence ? i picked reconcilliation coz the cluw was “negociations” which is the process of reconcilliation and it stopped coz it was unsuperable or whteva which meant it wasnt happening.</p>
<p>oceanangel))
I really want to see the question and the passage again 
Well, I don’t think that the quote had anything to do with saying that
there is no parellel because the quote was not comparing anyting with the present situation.
Fearing and desiring the unknown seems to be decent, but “scientists” was something that
I was not sure.</p>
<p>what did you guys put for 2nd question of the lawyer passage? it was something about a quote in passage 1 and a quote in passage 2</p>
<p>cr_freak))
it was definately impasse/(?)</p>
