<p>The sentence still isn’t coming back to me for that compassion…ruthless one</p>
<p>What was the question for the impression vs. reality and uniqueness of the author’s situation? Maybe then I’ll remember.</p>
<p>Just to add on, I was actually between “impression vs. reality” and “uniqueness of author’s situation” for a while. But then I thought that for “impression vs. reality” to work, “annotated edition” and “notebook” had to present a contrast, which I didn’t think they did. So, yeah. That’s just my reasoning there…</p>
<p>Yep, me too…
The thing that made me think unique was “annotated” edition. I don’t know, that one just seems like it could really be either.</p>
<p>i understand fledgling, i had marked uniqueness first and went back and changed it… the question specifically asked what purpose a certain 3 or 4 lines in the passage had, and the lines included how he felt unique at first then realized that he wasn’t… </p>
<p>btw, what was the question for this ansswer from the list: </p>
<p>Argentinian author and author reading stories aloud</p>
<p>But it is still unique being a notebook/annotated edition. However he isn’t as unique as he thought he was.</p>
<p>@notreal:
It talked about some girl who didn’t let her compassion for others get in the way of her ambition, so she was still ruthless.</p>
<p>@fledgling: However, the question was not asking about the specific phrases, but their purposes with regard to the context. The context contrasted his image with the truth…</p>
<p>This is probably one of the debatable ones like provisional though. Who knows.</p>
<p>Can someone explain to me the austrian girl passsage: the answer was “previous sentence” with the horse and dad. What were the other choices?</p>
<p>yea i remember now, that was correct.
what about the other one with the annotated notebook and unique situation?</p>
<p>^ exactly, he is unique, but not as unique as he had believed; hence, the lines represent his impression vs. reality</p>
<p>But he is still in a unique position. That is the problem with these questions. You can get some which have pretty much 2 answers (provisional one is another).</p>
<p>@ aryus - the question referenced the lines where the girl elaborated on her father and described how she loved him… the line before that had stated that she loved her father, therefore the lines were elaborating on this… the only other good choice was something along the lines of “presenting the first detailed characterization of her father”</p>
<p>@ugaboga232 why can’t I remember the question?</p>
<p>to add on to the experimental section with louisa may alcott, SCs included:
louisa may alcott)
maladroit
monumental
champion…autocrat
carping</p>
<p>and maybe enlightened, not sure however, maybe it was an answer choice I didn’t choose</p>
<p>what is the question that is being referred to with “uniqueness of the situation” and “impression vs. reality?”</p>
<p>the provisional question is not debatable</p>
<p>so what was the question for this answer: </p>
<p>Argentinian author and author reading stories aloud</p>
<p>What are the choices. And provisional and empirical are synonyms in some dictionaries, so I don’t think people should be penalized for using a certain dictionary.</p>
<p>empirical implies that it can be proven or solved scientifically (ie empirical methods), and thesentence stated the exact opposite, that most theories cannot be proven scientifically but can only be refuted</p>
<p>Hmm what was the other word paired with provisional?</p>
<p>and thanks silence</p>
<p>^ it was a single blank… it went something along the lines of “Most scientific theories are not verifiable; they are ____ and can only be falsified.” </p>
<p>which clearly implies that the word would not be empirical, for empirical means that it can be proven scientifically… provisional implies that the theories are not certain, which is what the sentence calls for</p>
<p>i remember a question from the girl in austria passage saying something along the lines of: “what does soandso perceive to be the reason she is going to austria, in lines 30 something”…i put somthing about her meeting her relatives?</p>
<p>i know it can be frustrating trying to debate your answers on these threads, but if there’s one thing I learned from my March sat, it’s that the consolidated list is right almost 100% of the time</p>
<p>@htract21 - yes, something about learning about her non-English heritage</p>
