<p>I don’t remember all of the choices for the question with understatement, but the only other answer I’ve seen someone give is emphasis, but I clearly remember there being an italicized “is” which I suppose is emphasis. That’s why I went with understatement since the other three choices didn’t make any sense at all.</p>
<p>^^I second tacobff’s request.

<p>Anyone think that in the classical music passage, the “reluctance to divide music into categories” could be wrong?
I chose "people tend to react(?) emotionally rather than cerebrally.
I chose this because in the last paragraph of the 1st passage, the author says how people should listen to other types of music (classical). He was talking about how people should emphasize and make attempts to listen to classical. I really wasn’t sure on this but I thought that those who were not trying to listen to other music were emotional, since they only followed their emotion or feelings.</p>
<p>Also, couldn’t “great” mean elaborate? I didn’t think that the passage or the sentence that had great in it implied that the “great men” were famous or respected. It said how the “great men” could talk to the scientist and work out solutions (or something like that).</p>
<p>I’m just too desperate for a 700. Feel free to discuss these problems…</p>
<p>Does anyone know if the experimental page was the helen keller? Orrr</p>
<p>I remember actually considering the emotional vs cerebral choice, but there went back to the passage and there was a part where the author of passage 1 specifically talked about categorizations what whatnot. Not sure if it was a trick, but meh.</p>
<p>I somehow do not remember the diner/shopper question. Are you sure that was on that passage?</p>
<p>@jjfine96</p>
<p>I remember seeing “categorize” or “category” some stuff, but I didn’t think that he was specifically talking about how they should “make” categories. He was talking about the category of classical music, at least thats what I thought.</p>
<p>Do u remember what choices were there for “unfortunate dichotomy” question?</p>
<p>I think the classical music passages are the hardest</p>
<p>@ Iwill</p>
<p>The diner question was in the classical music passage. It was about a listener (author himself) likes this music one day and that music other. And the analogy was a diner deciding his menu depending on his mood.</p>
<p>Question with answers understatement, parallelism, emphasis, repetition. There was one other, and that’s the one I put. There was definitely emphasis, italicized word, understatement I think was there, parallelism and repetition was there too. Can anyone remember the last answer?</p>
<p>I agree with thnk prynstn: I though the answer was to broaden the musical types one listened to (something like that) because Author 1 said that the problem was that no one was being forced to listen to a type of music and that they should really consider listening to classical music. That line in passage 2 seems to contradict this.</p>
<p>Dodgeawrench: the other one was comparison. I remember putting that one but I am unsure whether it is right. I though all of the answer choices were wrong. Understatement and emphasis are definitely wrong in my mind.</p>
<p>ThinkPrinceton: Now I remember. I put the one about the mood. That was probably it.</p>
<p>@Iwill</p>
<p>Do you remember the other choices for “unfortunate dichotomy?”
I’m not sure what I put for that question.</p>
<p>Also, what did you put for “great?”</p>
<p>@IWillKillFofMit
I put comparison too. I put understatement at first, but then I realized there was an understatement. I agree, the answers were very unclear, because there seemed to be a comparison, but I don’t remember exactly. But I eventually went with comparison as the only one that wasn’t in the passage. That question was tricky, like most of the CR questions with happiness and classical music.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I do not remember the other choices for unfortunate dichotomy: at first the unfortunate part threw me off a little bit but I ended up choosing it. On the bug section, I put eminent for great since both of them are similar. I forget the answer choices though. BTW Princeton is my second choice (it ties with Stanford).</p>
<p>I felt like there was some comparison; it wasn’t really explicit and I can’t even remember how it was applied but I definitely felt like there was an element of comparsion. Could just be faulty memory though.</p>
<p>@IWill wow, same order as me haha.</p>
<p>I just hope I did better than a 1870 (what I got in December). What would be around -7 wrong 2 omitted for CR?</p>
<p>Unfortunately I do not know the other choices for the unfortunate dichotomy question. The unfortunate part threw me off initially but I picked it. For great, I put eminent.</p>
<p>EDIT: Sorry Double Post, CC app was being stupid.</p>
