June 2010 Critical Reading

<p>goldysocks, my man, did you also put first reaal description of her father?</p>

<p>iceui2 - yes, you are correct… one question was asking why her father wants her to go (to learn about her non-English heritage) and the other asked why she should go in her eyes (to have more affection for her family)</p>

<p>@htract21 - the only other good choice was something like “represents a shift in her career” or something, because the passage had mentioned that Carson was an environmentalist but had never spoken out about it as a writer until publishing the book</p>

<p>@htract-nah, I put the “inability to empathize…”</p>

<p>girl in austria–elaborate answer… im pretty sure that’s not right, because that sentence was the very first about loving her father, and saying that she loves him like a horse is not ELABORATINg… just what i thought
so i put the theme answer down… anyone agree?</p>

<p>goldysocks - i think htract is talking about a different question</p>

<p>goldysocks, i put that as well, but that was the choice for a different question. the question i referred to in that post was something along the lines of, what is the purpose of the “i know him like a horse” line, and one option was to elaborate on the preceding sentence, another was to reference somethin earlier in that paragraph, and the answer i put was “that was the first description of the father”</p>

<p>ems - it was definitely elaborating in that it was explaining how she loves her father</p>

<p>Ahhhhh. Okay haha.
I don’t know which question it is, so I have no idea.</p>

<p>So was it bombastic or spare?</p>

<p>I think it was definitely elaborating, but I also know that there was something about her inability to empathize with her father. Was this in the same question is my question. Does anyone remember?</p>

<p>for independent films, what is “monetary concerns”?
and any other choices for it?</p>

<p>Recount unusual experience –> new understanding</p>

<p>^
What were the other choices for this question?</p>

<p>So uh, bombastic or spare?</p>

<p>^Haha, I chose spare, simply because, “not a word was wasted.” Bombastic has to do with being too wordy.</p>

<p>^ i put spare. prob wrong tho</p>

<p>for the “reading promotes learning” passage, what question had “debatable” as the answer. i don’t seem to remember what the passage was about.</p>

<p>“account” = explained
what was the sentence surrounding that?
or other choices?</p>

<p>It was spare. I’m fairly positive.
Also another question, I think it was in the psychological study passage, the answer was “inconclusive”. Does this ring a bell? I may be wrong.</p>

<p>on the 10000 hour question second to last, there was one answer that sounded like the one given on the posted answers, but another answer said that one must practice 10000 hours in order to become a world class expert, regardless of talent. which one is the answer?</p>
