June 2010 Critical Reading

<p>yup louisa may alcott was experimental, and so were the roman restaurants and physics</p>

<p>Catherine the Great was champion… autocrat</p>

<p>@majerina, I agree with everything.</p>

<p>so from vocab i have one wrong lets start passages</p>

<p>what was account? was it report or explanation, i rlly cudnt decide, ended up putting report i think its wrong though…</p>

<p>I put explanation.</p>

<p>I put report as well…</p>

<p>@majerina, I agree with everything. </p>

<hr>

<p>:)</p>

<p>Me too, woot wooot, feeling good about this one!</p>

<p>Edit: I think I put explanation as well.</p>

<p>When the English girl was about going to Austria, what did this show? I completely guessed and said she was going to learn about her heritage or something. I could not narrow it down at all. Also what was the one about Austria where it drew a parallel?</p>

<p>kobudnik - I think in the context of the line they referenced (if this is the question you’re talking about), Kate said something like “I’d better appreciate my relatives in London than going to them in Austria,” which I thought indicated that SHE thought she was going to Austria to meet her relatives? Or something like that?</p>

<p>But there was another similar question about why her father wanted to send her, and I think the answer was so that she would be better acquainted with her heritage.</p>

<p>@kubudnik, drew parallel was values, NOT comment(prime distractor)</p>

<p>I missed some on that English girl too…</p>

<p>yea i put heritage too; its heritage
parallel question with “appalling” it: opposing views
freedom means acceptance
horse elaborated on the previous sentence
she doesn’t like people (i forgot the answer to this one, but it was before freedom, i think)
like Count somebody (grampa) because he could connect to modern day
NOT technologically advanced, some other answer
what else from that passage?</p>

<p>did anyone else here get an experimental writing section? becuase i did…</p>

<p>I put heritage down as well.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I put that freedom meant renunciation</p>

<p>@deb, are you a International student, they were having a discussion about it in a International thread. Section 3 or 6 I think.</p>

<p>renunciation, how?
they should accept that they’ll never go back to austria
and not cry over it to water some plant</p>

<p>damn i mest up on the writing</p>

<p>@kobudnik she went there because it was expected that she would grow closer to her relatives. its in the passsage because she talks about how she can appreciate her relatives more in her hometown thatn if she was forced to go visit them and live by their weird ways</p>

<p>definitely NOT an international student lol. the rest of my test was like the american version except for this odd extra writing section…</p>

<p>freedom i put acceptance of reality or something</p>

<p>account i put report</p>

<p>i put know her heritage more or better</p>

<p>both strongly oppose views they’re against</p>

<p>i didnt put elaborate, i instead put introduces theme, since it said best answer</p>

<p>Question marks need verification. COPY AND PASTE if you want to add/remove/edit…</p>
