<p>Domineering isn’t the answer. It is too extreme, and is a wrong interpretation of Borges.</p>
<p>^ Do you remember what that question asked?</p>
<p>I saw domineering in the answers. I considered it briefly, before discarding it for a better one. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Anyone remember?</p>
<p>I don’t remember that.</p>
<p>It was like: "Somebody _____ something now called a potboiler…(devised)</p>
<p>The devised one had something to do with something a female scientist did. Beyond that, I have no idea.</p>
<p>EDIT: ^Yes.</p>
<p>i remember devised; it was def the answer</p>
<p>What was the question that had domineering as one of the choices?</p>

passage 1 makes argument that passage 2 finds unpersuasive</p>
<p>So have we decided on it being author’s impression and reality? Does anyone think it was the unique situation?</p>
<p>^ I put “unique situation”, but I’m just assuming “impression vs. reality” is correct.</p>
<p>^ I really think it is uniqueness of his situation, it referenced him being used by the author as an “annotated notebook,” which implies specialization.</p>
<p>Yea, you also can’t be a “notebook” in reality. That is just one layer less than annotated notebook, but is still not “reality.” </p>
<p>So maybe only 2 on cr (assuming it was provisional, wish they’d strike that).</p>
<p>^ Well, the actual question went, “The words “carefully annotated edition” (Line _<em>) and “notebook” (Line _</em>) serve to indicate…?”</p>
<p>
Should be “compassion, ruthless”.</p>
<p>I mean both answers work. Just which on CB decides works more.</p>
<p>For the talent passage, does anybody remember an answer that was like the students did not know they were talented (something like that)?</p>
<p>^^Yeah, I couldn’t remember the exact wording.
But, the passage seemed like it was talking about the way the author treated him, not the way the author thought of him.
I agree with ugaboga232.</p>
<p>^^Yes, it was the question about the conditions of the experiment, and the one about students not knowing how they were identified in the study was the correct answer.</p>
<p>goldysocks, the passage explicitly stated that the situation was not unique. in one line of the passage, the author began talking about how he felt unique, but then went on the say that he was just a notebook, and in parentheses it said (like so many others)… thats the explicit reference to him not being unique, hence it is his impression vs. reality</p>
