<p>I had nature of fresh foods and felt it was obvious at the time</p>
<p>Provides an example.</p>
<p>jersey13 - Commercial acumen was an answer to the question asking what the artist’s multiple copies of his original Benjamin Franklin painting showed. The correct answer was an artistic weakness. </p>
<p>if the author was in “admiration” and look up to the painter, then why would he admit that he showed artistic weakness? Commercial acumen would be an answer where the author still retains his tone</p>
<p>I thought it was an example that proved a general point, ie it proved that fresh foods go bad (in general) and that broccoli was the specific example. I also put commercial acumen because he made a lot of paintings to sell = commercial acumen.</p>
<p>I remembered deciding between the two during the test. The question asked for why “primarily” the author of the passage decided to put the broccoli in the passage, and while “an example of a maligned vegetable” made sense, “to make a general point about fresh foods” would further his argument advocating for packaged foods.</p>
<p>hahalolk: there were two answers:
- to provide an example of a maligned vegetable
- to make a general point about the nature of fresh foods</p>
<p>My logic:</p>
<p>He wasn’t talking specifically about broccoli. He was using it as an <em>example</em> to make a larger point.</p>
<p>Additionally, the idea of “fresh foods” is actually inaccurate. He reference broccoli as a decidedly NOT fresh food (shipped across country).</p>
<p>Nevermind then. I chose “to make a general point about the nature of fresh foods.” That answer was pretty obvious, imo.</p>
<p>For the adapting films passage
Passage 1 defends a qualified position, Passage 2 rejects it</p>
<p>Was this the same one as Passage 2 mocks it?</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the question for the “many cases have importance to society” answer for the Courts/TV passages?</p>
<p>“He wasn’t talking specifically about broccoli. He was using it as an <em>example</em> to make a larger point.”</p>
<p>That just furthers the case for “an example of a maligned vegetable” being wrong.</p>
<p>Yes, it was.</p>
<p>If those were the actual options, I actually agree on “fresh foods.” It certainly wasn’t the maligned vegetable one.</p>
<p>“Two passages disagree on the proportion of issues that are important in televised court”</p>
<p>what were the other choices for this question? and the painter question was definitely admiration, not commercial acumen</p>
<p>what question was this?
Legends fill in for blank areas in map</p>
<p>Stigmatized/Vindicated
Was this the one with exonerated as a choice? Does anyone remember what the other word with exonerated was?</p>
