<p>So wait what did we decide on the camera vs. televised one? I remember what I put now: the use of cameras in the court. But after listening to some of the arguments, I do believe it could be about the television, but honestly I don’t even remember debating this question, I thought it was fairly simple.</p>
<p>I think we decided on cameras.</p>
<p>Something about the phrasing of the television option invalidated it.</p>
<p>I think it was cameras too. It seems like some people think the choices were “tv productions/use of cameras” and others think “importance of tv productions/use of cameras.”</p>
<p>Personally, I remember it being the importance, so if that was the case it seems like the answer would be cameras. I don’t remember debating it either.</p>
<p>I don’t understand why the question is even being debated. The answer is clearly the use of cameras in the courtroom; this was a no brainer. I did not even hesitate to choose this answer on the test seeing as it was one of the most obvious ones on the whole test</p>
<p>Yup. The answer is cameras, or whatever the wording was.</p>
<p>a question not yet added to the list: how would the author of passage two respond to lines 40-46 of passage I (these lines talked about how most trials are not worthy of being televised and not important to the public) </p>
<p>pretty sure the answer was disagree, because many cases have importance to society, choice was B</p>
<p>^ Agree with silence.</p>
<p>also to add to the Africa passage - the question about the significance of the exclamation point when the author was describing the scene once the sailors landed “Imagine!” answer was along the lines of put the reader in the sailors’ shoes</p>
<p>there was also a question, i believe from the camera double passage, where it asked how one author would respond and the answer was unconvinced</p>
<p>^Agree as well.</p>
<p>I can confirm that question.</p>
<p>Just 4 more, folks!</p>

<p>I can confirm that question.</p>
<p>Just 3 more, folks!</p>
<p>Please does anyone remember the other answer choices for “unpretentious” in the painter section?</p>
<p>Ahh my bad sorry I didn’t see your post until I posted. We actually only need 3 more, “imagine” was added to the list.</p>
<p>^I’ve been wondering that myself. I think that may have been the only question I got wrong in CR.</p>
<p>highreachnoob - the other choice, and i believe the answer, was “imitative”</p>
<p>Why would it be imitative? He didn’t imitate anyone, and couldn’t even copy his own work.</p>
<p>cameras vs. tv production: I already said I think I was thinking of the answer to a different question. Either the last or second to last question in the section had one choice, “cameras distract the people in the courtroom”, but that wasn’t the answer.</p>
<p>Any other choices? I don’t remember putting down imitative, and if I did, I had a good reason for doing so…</p>
