June 2010 Critical Reading

<p>^</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I don’t remember the complete sentence but i vaguely remember the second half which was : his colleagues had never seen him so mad.</p>

<p>For the austrian girl passage, how was that question about her contempt “wishful thinking and … blah blah blah”?</p>

<p>I remember re reading that paragraph and I didnt find any evidence that suggested ‘wishful thinking’ so i didnt think that one could be right.</p>

<p>think i put a passing disadvantage as momentous… guess its wrong =(</p>

<p>The girl said that she did not like people that looked to the past rather than living in the present. The answer choice was something along the lines of wishful thinking for the past, so it makes sense.</p>

<p>does anyone remember the other answers to the “isolation” question</p>

<p>does anyone remember what was the question/ possible answer choices for these?:</p>

<p>to examine a topic in psychology
^what other answer choices were there?</p>

<p>The dichotomy is hard to resolve with experiments
^I remember I filled the answer choice “the author is reconciling the 2 views” or something like that. Was that the answer??</p>

<p>Guys, how do you challenge a question to the ETS?</p>

<p>^ none of the questions were so debatable or ambiguous that they would be overturned.</p>

<p>^ I agree. I think for the most part they were pretty straightforward.</p>

<p>The vocabulary destroyed my score; five out of the six questions I got wrong were sentence completions…</p>

<p>I know they’re not debatable, but I mean in general, how do you challenge a question?</p>

<p>The man was not domineering. They got along fine. The boy just didn’t have control - it’s a small but important difference.</p>

<p>I agree with question. But the dichotomy question and empirical definitely should have been changed to not have 2 rightish answers.</p>

<p>the answer to the dichotomy question was clearly stated in the passage. </p>

<p>the empirical question is iffy-- however, it’s pretty clear if you know that something is empirical if it is based upon observation/experimentation.</p>

<p>what was the empirical question? i dont remember that one…</p>

<p>@simo14</p>

<p>I do not recall if it was explicitly stated for the dichotomy question. But you seem to remember, so is the “hard to prove with experiments” answer the correct one? That is what I put.</p>

<p>^ it definitely is (I remember something in the passage that made me choose that answer quite easily).</p>

<p>Awesome, thanks!</p>

<p>Anyone know what 6 wrong 0 omits would be with the hard curv we’ll probably get?</p>

<p>@ethereality - idk how to challenge questions, but i seem to remember reading something about silverturtle petitioning the collegeboard about a question or something</p>
