<p>I agree with provisional. Does anyone know the full dichotomy question?</p>
<p>To those of you who are debating the consolidated list: in my experience, it gets you nowhere. The list is usually 100% correct. :p</p>
<p>(coming from someone who vehemently debated some of the answers in the January 2010 CR, lol)</p>
<p>^^No, but it brought the environmental issues to light for the public, and caused a momentous change. A watershed moment is a critical turning point.</p>
<p>i dont think the list can be 100% correct, its possible that this was an atypically hard question</p>
<p>^ That wasn’t “atypically hard”. I consider CR to be my worst section, and I didn’t find the Rachel Carson passage particularly challenging.</p>
<p>the passage really talked about her career and how she was turned onto the study of the environment. it was the least bit scientific
very casual about her passion of the environment</p>
<p>What were the other choices for the “savvy” question and for the “dichotomy” question?</p>
<p>im leaning towards the passion for the environment answer</p>
<p>but i agree its debatable</p>
<p>Alright hold up. None of this is 100% correct. We’ve gotten consolidated lists wrong here before you know.</p>
<p>what was the proscribed question and the apopletic question?</p>
<p>CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING:
-In SC, why was the answer “complicity, exonerated of” instead of “alibi, exculpated of”
-In the Rachel Carson Silent Spring passage, what other options were there in addition to “makinh a watershed moment in public”
-Independednt Films: I put passage 2 addessres changed that passage 1 fails to note (or vice versa)
-Talent Passage: Why was the answer “muddling of cause and effect”
-Once again, In “Girl In Austria” passage, how does that line about the horse elaborate on a previous sentence, when that WAS the first description of the father
-In Zoo passages, what was the question two and other possible answers to “savy about the nature of zoos”</p>
<p>THANKS A LOT</p>
<p>I think Rachel Carson was a scientist, ecologist, and a writer. I’ve learned about Silent Springs and I am pretty sure it was scientific. Whether or not that has any relevance to the question about her, I’m not sure. I think it is environmentialist though, that is what I put so hopefully that is the answer hahaha.</p>
<p>Do you guys remember “approbate” from SC?</p>
<p>Approbation was in the ignominy one.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, but not ALL the consolidated answers would be incorrect I don’t think 
I’d wager that 99% of them are accurate.</p>
<p><em>sigh</em> alright guys let’s just end the discussion and wait until our scores come out. It’s not like we’re going to know our EXACT scores anyways since we have no idea what the curve is. One extra wrong or correct problem won’t affect your score that much.</p>
<p>Consolidated list of answers. There’s really no point in debating - all disputable questions have already been settled in the last 80 or so pages :). Only post if you have a new answer to contribute.</p>

<p>Talent/Practice
to examine a topic in psychology
The dichotomy is hard to resolve with experiments
“account” = explained
muddling of cause and effect
walking, talking, potty training: people develop at different times
basketball players, other professions: broad application of a principle
Harvard researchers chose that specific group because “they had a specific talent”
presents an issue and then references specific studies
The kids did not know how they were categorized
Statement about ppl who practice but fail: “to demonstrate an inconclusive explanation”

author’s impression with reality

<p>Girl in Austria
father wanted her to go on the trip “to learn about her non-English relatives”.
“freedom” means “releasing emotional burdens”
appalled = different viewpoints have equal values
likes her grandfather because “he talked about the present”
felt “disdain” for parent’s nostalgia about tearfully watering plants
“loved father like she loved a horse” = elaborate on previous sentence
painful to stay because of “isolation”
the old ways are “snobbishly excessive”
Inability to empathize with her father
Wanted to increase her affection towards her relatives
The girl disliked those who engaged in “wishful thinking instead of accepting the present”
The passage explains the girl’s views on her family</p>
<p>Zoos (Paired Passage)
products of human culture
condition: state of being
spectatorship: strong disapproval
savvy about nature of zoos
curiosities on display for audience
unconcerned with debates about zoo
fun comes at the expense of real insight of animals
do not offer authentic experience of wild animals
passage 1 makes argument that passage 2 finds unpersuasive</p>
<p>it is scientific. the passage said “as a biologist, she knew the science behind it, and she could also convey it through writing, like in Silent Springs. The book was the beginning of the American environmental movement.”
Thus, the answer is “a watershed moment”.</p>
<p>i could be wrong but i relieve that in the independent film the “familiar and over alarmed” and “problem of little concern” are from the same question?</p>
<p>^ No, they were not.</p>
