June 2010 Critical Reading

<p>I don’t think it was unaware of lack of control, just lack of control instead of domineering. Borges wasn’t painted as domineering at all in the passage.</p>

<p>Is Borges the one who was being read to?
I believe that choice said the one who was doing the reading lacked control over something (situation?)</p>

<p>Yea, the reader lacked control of a situation you would normally think he would be in control of.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember “to examine a topic in psychology” to be choice C?</p>

<p>Can someone remind me of the “author’s impression with reality” question during the Argentinian long passage? I don’t remember that question at all (though I know I answered it).</p>

<p>@ugaboga232: Okay if the “lack of control” was one of the choices with “alluding to domineering”, then you’re definitely right.</p>

<p>@user2134: Yes I actually think it was choice C.</p>

<p>

The author felt like she (?) had a special, carefully annotated book, but in reality she actually had just a “notebook” that Borges used to remember things. She liked to think she was in a special situation, but she really wasn’t. Thus, her impression was different from reality</p>

<p>Thanks Crazybandit, I remember that question now and I’m pretty sure that’s what I put down.</p>

<p>“Females are CRUCIAL for science not only as mentors but also for RECRUITING”</p>

<p>i don’t remember this sentence. are you sure the words weren’t something like females are crucial for recruiting and RETAINING? or something like that…</p>

<p>

It said the female retention rate in science was high or something, but I don’t know what the blanks were (assuming it was an SC). So yes, you probably are thinking of the right sentence. The sentence had really easy vocabulary so I don’t think you should worry about it.</p>

<p>I don’t remember the female one for SC… Can anyone refresh my memory please? : (</p>

<p>Female one? U mean that they are important for both retaining and recruiting females in science?</p>

<p>Does anyone remember any of the other answer choices for the question with “devised”?</p>

<p>what was the SC question for acolyte??? and the answer choices?</p>

<p>I do not remember the question with 'savvy about nature of zoos" at all. What were the other choices?</p>

<p>was “acolyte” question 5, choice B?</p>

<p>Yea, i believe “acolyte” was question 5, but i remember “acolyte” to be A</p>

<p>Savvy one was when it asked how the author of passage 2 would respond to the thoughts of author of p1 that visitors were getting scammed.</p>

<p>Do you remember the other choices to the savvy question?</p>

<p>Thanks for posting what the question was about. Does anyone remember if there were any other choices that made sense other than savvy?</p>
