<p>How much is 2 wrong on the CR? </p>
<hr>
<p>Might be an 800, depends on the curve. Would be nice to get a -3 800 curve. -2 should be a 800 though. </p>

<p>Why isnt it release of emotional burden?? for the passage one</p>
<p>def provisional</p>
<p>By the way, can we also go back to the dichotomy question? I put A I think, the one about brought up by a famous study (the one the passage starts off with).</p>
<p>@thequestionmark - If the sentence said that new theories come along, then it would definitely be provisional. Empirical fits with a scientific theory, but not in the context of this sentence.</p>
<p>Here’s a definition of empirical that will shed new light
"
2. Verifiable or provable by means of observation or experiment: empirical laws.</p>
<h1>Guided by practical experience and not theory, especially in medicine."</h1>
<p>The theory obviously wasn’t verifiable.</p>
<p>I dont know about you guys but the direct hit’s prediction were way off =/</p>
<p>freedom would mean that they wouldnt be stuck feeling the way they were, like it was their fault for leaving austria, so it would be release of emotional burden</p>
<p>Why isnt it release of emotional burden?? for the passage one </p>
<hr>
<p>Wasn’t that kind of what acceptance stood for, or am I wrong?</p>
<p>Edit: jj, that was my train of thought as well.</p>
<p>I put down empirical for that one! idk if it’s right.</p>
<p>@ugaboga232 - Nowhere in the passage did it indicate that the first study was the most significant/famous/decisive (don’t remember what adjective they used).</p>
<p>idk really, wanted to make sure, jus knew i picked the one with emotional burden</p>
<p>i put emperical. I didnt even consider provisional.</p>
<p>Well I said it was the first study because it was saying how that study established the dichotomy. And it said it was a very important one as well.</p>
<p>Yea I did the same thing with empirical. I saw science and empirical and went into autopilot.</p>

<p>I think collegeboard made a mistake. It turns out that empirical and provisional are synonyms, meaning they can have the same or similar meaning. So *** COLLEGEBOARD</p>
<p>what about the SC that was about Roosevelt and how he always did what his people wanted or something… was it dissuasive??</p>
<p>Yea, I agree with shah. I’ve been taught they were very similar, with provisional being a general version of empirical which deals mostly with scientific theory while provisional is more government.</p>
<p>ffs, CB did not make a mistake, and it is NOT empirical.</p>
<p>Those who think so do not use this word in context, debate online a lot, or read a ton of science crap. </p>
<p>Empirical theories are VERIFIABLE by experimentation! This is completely contradictory to what the passage said!</p>
<p>The question was:</p>
<p>What statement, in view of the entire passage, best supports the “dichotomy” (line 4).
Line 4 said: The scientists decided that the mastery of music was a dichotomy: either due to talent or practice.</p>
<p>The answer you chose was something about a specific decisive study. There were multiple studies throughout the text and none of them supported the dichotomy, because none could conclude that musical mastery was the result of ONLY talent or ONLY practice (even though the last paragraph talked about the 10,000 hours, it also said that no one could account for why people got more out of practice, or couldn’t get better at all, indicating talent).</p>
<p>I put provisional but how strongly I believe in my answer is slightly dying as this debate continues…</p>
