June 2010 Critical Reading

<p>

uggg, was the word “monetary”…
i remember picking something about “monetary investments”…
anyone pick that?</p>

<p>Yeah there was one monetary answer. It was for the theater passage. Are you sure provisional was a SC jollybjolly?</p>

<p>^ I put that one becuase the author says the funding decreased and there was no money to support the independent film industries…</p>

<p>monetary: : of or relating to money or to the mechanisms by which it is supplied to and circulates in the economy</p>

<p>@fledgling
the answer choice was something like: muddling of cause and effect</p>

<p>@girls5803
yea i picked an answer that had something to do with monetary problems</p>

<p>yes, provisional was an SC.
the theater’s passage was the independent films one right?</p>

<p>Does any one know the question for the vocabulary term apopletic? Thanks</p>

<p>^ yes it was the independent passage</p>

<h2>Yes theater passage and independent film passage are the same one.</h2>

<p>Even though I still got provisional wrong, it makes me happy that it was a SC and not a question on the passages lol. It kills me when I mess up on the passages… Thanks for the confirmation jollybjolly.</p>
