June 2010 Critical Reading

<p>To those above, which ones are wrong? Specifically?</p>

<p>None of these are wrong.</p>

<p>Which ones do you guys believe are wrong?</p>

<p>@NewAccount, I did’nt think they were, but proving the answers correct can only help everybody.</p>

<p>I still dont think “familiar and alarmist” is best for the film question, naive and well-intentioned makes more sense to me, but i could be wrong… He wasnt alarming anyone, he actauly had a “giving up hope” sort of tone, not “we need to save it”.</p>

<p>Which vocab question was the one that was apoplectic? Also, I remember monumental, carped, and scrutinized being other vocab answers. Those might be the ones were missing. However, Idk if those came from the experimental section</p>

<p>“happy in his subordinate role” –> did this answer have the word content in it?</p>

<p>I’m still iffy on the “to examine a psychological debate” question. But I’m probably wrong on that. </p>

<p>What I really want to know is the dichotomy answer. We were wavering between three choices.
a. Establishing a theory or something
b. Hard to prove with experiment
c. reconcile two seemingly different ideas</p>

<p>It asked based on the “whole passage” I believe. I had choice B. Any other thoughts?</p>

<p>@jjtheairplane</p>

<p>familiar and alarmist is correct because passage 2 calls the fears presented in passage 1 “perennial” and alarmist because it also said passage 1 was exaggerating </p>

<p>naive and well-intentioned are not supported by what was in the passages.</p>

<p>and @kyasenstar I think I put B also, but I don’t remember.</p>

<p>I also chose naive because passage 2 said that critics of indie films only look at a small group of them that are too dependent on money. That was my logic. I figured P2 thought P1 was naive for being so narrow minded.</p>

<p>goldy: yes it did.</p>

<p>I disagree on some of the Austrian girl answers, but mostly because they are not clear in my memory… Let’s go over them.</p>

<p>@jolly: I put something like the grandfather was not as much tied in the past… Was this the answer?</p>

<p>@Kya: Yeah I want to know that one too, do you remember the other answer choices?(i remember putting like compromise)</p>

<p>@kya, what were the other 2 choices</p>

<p>Yeah I agree with naive and well-intentioned…familiar and alarmist seemed way to intense considering the OPTIMISTIC tone of the second passage</p>

<p>Kobudnik, passage 2 might have thought passage 1 naive, but it explicitly said “perennial” and “exaggerated” - which match “familiar” and “alarmist”</p>

<p>God, this thread frustrates me. I’ll just figure out my score the old fashioned way - by waiting.
Bye Thread!</p>

<p>lol, good choice! :)</p>

<p>Yea circular, I admit you’re probably right. I was just explaining my reasoning.</p>

<p>Ok the one about the 10,000 hourse of talent. Im pretty sure the answer was C i think. That it “requires 10,000 hours to become a world-achieving musician, even if the talent is innate”. Im pretty sure the answer has to have the 10,000 hours in it.</p>

<p>

I don’t think the answer had the word “past” in it.
I think if you chose it you would have remembered seeing the word “present”.
I’m not entirely sure though.</p>

<p>And I just realized, a high curve could possible save you two points or more…</p>

<p>Because in the curve, questions that are “thrown out” are the reason whey more wrong can = 800, so if hey throw out a question(s) that you got wrong, you not only gain the points back, you can possibly gain back a 1/4 penalty point.</p>
