941

<p>let’s hope they throw out some of those crappy ones. lol</p>

942

<p>can someone explain to me why the answer was “even if the talent is innate, it requires years of practice”. I thought it was the one about the 10,000 hours</p>

943

<p>Does “throwing out” happen often?</p>

944

<p>imo empirical/provisional should be thrown out</p>

945

<p>What was the SC with “devised” about? Can anyone give me a bit of context?</p>

946

<p>@jolly:I believe that’s how part of the curve is determined, and it has happened before, usually when two answer choices are too close to determine an answer.</p>

<p>@ricky: I think that answer IS the one with 10000 hours…</p>

947

<p>

</p>

<p>I think the one we have on the list is a better answer…</p>

948

<p>It never definitively stated that 10,000 hours were absolutely necessary, but it did imply that even people with great innate talent still had to practice.</p>

949

<p>Agreed with goldysocks.</p>

950

<p>devised had something to do with some woman scientist. i think.</p>

951

<p>For the “alarmist and familiar” answer, what were the other answer choices besides the “naive” answer?</p>

952

<p>@kobudnik</p>

<p>Sure. Proving the answers right only helps everyone.</p>

953

<p>was maladroit an answer to any of the sentence completions?</p>

954

<p>The answer we have for the 10000 question is correct. The author explicitly noted that not everyone that practices for a long time becomes a star. But, everyone that did become a star had practiced for a very long time.</p>

955

<p>@jolly </p>

<p>I remember A was eloquent but illogical</p>

956

<p>can someone put the “apoplectic” answer in its context? Also, can you put the “happy in its subordinate role” in context? I dont remember these questions</p>

957

<p>happy in his subordinate role had to do with the boy and borges.
apoplectic, i believe, had something to do with a politician?
also, again(lol), does anyone remember getting maladroit for a SC?</p>

958

<p>

</p>

<p>was that like “the boy was content about…” ?</p>

959

<p>^yeah 10char</p>

960

<p>“author’s impression with reality”</p>

<p>can someone remind me of the other choices/ the question?</p>
