<p>lappith i put vital but many people are saying sinister which i honestly dont understand. thought that question was relatively easy</p>
<p>whoa, I put “gesture”. please explain indication.</p>
<p>vital YES asdsd</p>
<p>Okay, cavalier vs. polemical vs. evenhanded? </p>
<p>I said evenhanded, but I am really not sure.</p>
<p>Neither “dark” nor “tiger claws” inherently imply evil, which is why I put sinister. Also if you consider the description in the chest in the context of the entire passage, it does not make any sense that her description of the chest (which was clearly part of the culture that she cherished so much and only had positive feelings for) would be “sinister”.</p>
<p>I said cavalier although i guessed.</p>
<p>hey guys I just have three questions that we seem to be all discussing:
- For the chest, is it sinister or vital? I put sinister ( it didn’t seem bad or evil to me)
- What was the one about “Writing is Fighting?” I put sympathy for that (I thought he wanted readers to understand his difficulties)
- derisive/characterization: which question was it? i don’t remember this one.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone. I agreed with everyone else on everything before.</p>
<p>So how is the chest DESCRIBED as “vital” then? I know that it is very important to her, but does that make it “vital”? I mean, I was looking solely at the words and the imagery they created, which is what the question was asking to evaluate, and I DO think dark and tiger claws imply sinister-ness, but that’s just me.</p>
<p>Definitely evenhanded.</p>
<p>Passage 1 was more tolerant and stated that critics of the Electoral college should also analyzed disadvantages of any other system that would replace the electoral college while Passage 2 pretty much shunned the whole desire to reform the electoral college…</p>
<p>edit: squirrel
- Lots of debate. I put sinister. I am fairly confident.
- Controversy.
- That was about scientists/or some type of people describing animals.</p>

<p>I put evenhanded. He initially argues on behalf of the reformists, but then states that there are flaws within their method of thought and that they should propose some alternatives themselves.</p>
<p>Okay, good. Yeah, i just looked up “evenhanded” and it means “impartial”, and I guess he was impartial towards the end by refuting some of the points of the stance which he had just described in detail for the entire passage. But what about “polemical”, which means “speaking against something”? Isn’t he doing that as well? I don’t which answer choice was stronger and more apt.</p>
<p>for the but the 132 was stuck in my head question couldn’t it have been where the narrator was like “why didn’t he just do it right the first time” because that’s when she starts to question the creative process?</p>
<p>Definitely not polemical. </p>
<p>Polemical would probably fit more with passage 2</p>
<p>No, that’s not nearly as obvious a transition as the “but the number” part, where he literally jumps ahead like 10-15 years from his childhood to his college years. That is a very blatant transition of time.</p>
<p>what were the other answers to the question about the purpose of the analogy? (not the one that has “flawed” as the answer, the other one.) people were saying something about “change” and I don’t remember that answer choice at all :/</p>
<p>ya that should be right ^. Also what did people get for the neatness passage where it asked for the relationship between passage 1 and 2?</p>
<p>@forsworn99</p>
<p>When I think of polemical I think of a bible-thumper. I did’t think the author was THAT evangelical in his statements.</p>
<p>@cathbomb</p>
<p>The analogy was about how the world series and baseball had its own set of rules and how the people didn’t complain. Its purpose would be “to be against change”</p>
<p>I remember there was some part of the description talking about how it had cultural things or w/e and the wording of it made the chest seem pretty important, so that’s why I didn’t think vital was the right answer.</p>
<p>does anyone remember any more sentence completions? i found them very difficult this time around</p>
<p>ahh no 
i’ve missed four in cr so far.
there goes my 800</p>
