June 2010 Critical Reading

<p>zoo short passage:
people are unconcerned about those arguments</p>

<p>movies: running out of independent thinkers</p>

<p>i think were confuding the emotional bruden i remember putting these two answers</p>

<p>Removal of Emotional Burden</p>

<p>Good willing and acceptance of reality???</p>

<p>Wasn’t the zoo experimental?</p>

<p>I agree with maximunmchill. How are you guys arriving at the answer about heritage?</p>

<p>@begoodperson, my explanation for the dichotomy one?
@nooblet - For then Native American one I think I had fulfilling… I’m not sure though because there were to answer choices with fulfilling and its synonym, so it depends on the first word (which I don’t remember!)</p>

<p>The connecting with relatives one was a different question. It asked what Kate thought was the reason she was sent and then cited a sentence, so the answer would’ve been relatives.</p>

<p>For the draw a parallel one, the question asked for the parallel of the aunt and Kate using “appalled” or something of the like…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>It was release from emotional burden, I think. I didn’t think that that was correct because no one had an emotional “burden”: her dad was nostalgic, she hated Austria…</p>

<p>Zoo was normal.</p>

<p>no. i had the zoo one and my experimental was writing.</p>

<p>also there was one like even if you have innate talent, you cannot be a master without a ton of practice</p>

<p>Right?</p>

<p>Yea I didn’t understand the dichotomy question for the longest time. I didn’t put down the contradicting statements one… it didn’t seem right? Lmao, I’ll try to explain if I can. I didn’t think that having talent and practicing are necessarily contradicting statements and even if they are, the passage never really combined them (the answer choice was something like combined the two). It just said that practicing seems to be more predictive of mastery than talent alone</p>

<hr>

<p>That was kinda my train of thought as well. I thought it could have been contradictory statements because it was basically to have talent you need to practice a lot or be born with it…and those are kind opposite contradicting things. But the question said something like “passage as a whole”, and the whole passage was basically about different experiments, so thats what I put down.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>What was the question for that?</p>

<p>And there was on where the students did not know how they were classified.</p>

<p>@begoodperson, my explanation for the dichotomy one?</p>

<p>Yes</p>

<p>anyone remember good willing and acceptance of reality?</p>

<p>removal of emotional burden?</p>

<p>idiosyncracies of famous author? or was it an unusual experience?</p>

<p>Saavy something it was in the zoo passage.</p>

<p>I don’t think what that guy said was even a question… though I do remember the passage comparison w/ the two articles on independent films.</p>

<p>Are you sure aboutbthe dichotomy question? I thoughtnin the first paragraph they made it seem like they were contradictory statements… also do you remember what the exact question was?</p>

<p>doesnt anybody remember enlightened for one of the SCs
and carping, monumental, champion…autocrat</p>

<p>@kobudnik
yea that was a tough question i was about to put the one with 10000 yrs needed to become skilled</p>

<p>apoplectic? are you guys sure it wasn’t tenacious?</p>

<p>Something about making an argument and getting angry about it…</p>

<p>edit on second thought: didn’t realize apoplectic could mean getting angry about something, scratch that.</p>

<p>i thought it reconciled the “dichotomy”</p>

<p>@notreal
I think that was an experimental one</p>
