May 2012 Critical Reading Discussion

<p>@anonymous pretty sure its mild criticism, the question about “happy” or something</p>

<p>anybody get a reading on nixon and the cold war…was it an experimental? i also had doll, trojan/solar system, dancing, and the texting one</p>

<p>im pretty sure I had that… Elizabeth Kostora’s novel… I got that it was no error I think.</p>

<p>what about the title of that book</p>

<p>Degrading our Language: our language and music and why we should care, like</p>

<p>was it intentionally using informal diction or witty in broad range.</p>

<p>for short 2 passages, both passages end with “generalizations for proximity”?</p>

<p>and </p>

<p>for the long one on planets, the book title “Doing Our Own Thing” implies “satirically intentional use of misused English?”</p>

<p>@eagles. i put satirical</p>

<p>I also put satirical.</p>

<p>it was witty because of the intentional use of informal language.</p>

<p>what about the improving paragraph question about revealing the damage of books?</p>

<p>Do any of you remember the writing question which started with “Historically,…”</p>

<p>Are you allowed to have an adverb like that at the beginning and was it used correctly?</p>

<p>for short 2 passages, both passages end with “generalizations for proximity”?</p>

<p>@bllbb6
I think that “Historically,…” was the error because it should have been “Historically speaking,…”</p>

<p>@wpf agreed.
anyone know if “historically” writing question was no error or not?</p>

<p>@wp, I got the choice that said “metaphor for ___”.
Was the section with the buffalo vocab experimental?</p>

<p>yea the answer choice was “metaphor proximity”</p>

<p>I don’t believe I put historically as the error. If there wasn’t another error in that question that seemed super obvious (I think there was), then i just screwed that one up.</p>

<p>@supine, if thats the one with stolid, then no. cuz i had math exp</p>

<p>Stolid? I dont remember that at all.</p>

<p>@siddysidsid
it was the buffalo question about them being in groups, but actually_____. i put stolid</p>

<p>Must’ve been the one question i omitted then ;D</p>
