<p>the first sentence said something along the lines of “the grand meaning behind the cave paintings is still unknown.” the author of passage 2 said that other historians “believe that the paintings hold the key to unlocking the symbolic meaning” or something to that effect. it didn’t say that the historians had already figured out what the meaning was, however, and if it did that probably would have been discussed more in-depth somewhere since their lack of evidence was what gave the author the ability to refute the idea that there was a deeper meaning than kids scrawling on the walls.</p>
<p>the answer was “sympathized because they too believed that the paintings had an overarching meaning” (not quite verbatim, but “overarching meaning” was definitely in there), which fit everything that had been said.</p>
<p>I’ve got three questions:
1)This is a new thing that no one has talked about yet: did anyone get “lifting barriers” for the American question in the black concert passage?</p>
<p>2)DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE BUSINESS DIFFICULTY/LIMITATION QUESTION FOR VOCAB??? cuz i definitely dont remember it and im wondering if its an experimental.</p>
<p>3) for the cave one, did people get “early attempts by accomplished artists” for one of the questions? it was something about what guthrie would say to the textbook art things in passage 1. </p>
<p>I’m waiting for an answer as to whether this section was experimental (i know i had one experimental reading section)-- I think that the passage was about animal play, and there was a vocab question including gandhi (something about hedonism and ascetism were in the actual sentence?). But i also had the cave painting passage, the whale passage, and the concert passage…</p>

Yeah I’m pretty much positive it was sympathetic then. @Newton
I don’t remember what I put for that one to be honest, but I do remember feeling fairly confident about it. I do know I put strenuous for the other one though. Thinking I probably got an 800 now. I know I missed the austere one but don’t believe I missed another. Even if I did it was hopefully only one. Thank god I didn’t botch the reading up like I did math.</p>
<p>My thinking was that the scholars were sure of the purpose of the paintings, aka the Grand Theory. Personally I would be frustrated if someone said “nobody knows the answer to this question” if I had recently stated “X is the answer.”</p>
<p>I don’t think we’ll be able to resolve this unless someone gets their hands on a copy of Guthrie’s The Nature of Paleolithic Art and finds the passage haha.</p>
<p>Edit: If everything Dizzying said is right, then yeah it seems like sympathetic is a better answer.</p>
<p>did anyone get an answer that said “a familiarly illustrated art(work)” or something??
and “a likely train of thought”
i hope these are the right answers to whatever the questions were</p>
<p>Ok, if I remember correctly, the author of passage 2 was talking about how ancient artists did not put artistic meaning into their paintings, but “some scholars believed otherwise”</p>
<p>The scholars were sympathetic in that they too wanted proof that ancient art was of aesthetic values</p>
<p>As to the grand theory question, heres what i think:
the question was asking for whether the guys who disagree with guthrie think of the art historians in the first passage <= both kinds of people were hoping to use cave art to find clues about natural history , so i put “sympathy”. im sure “frustrated” doesnt work and i think the closest one you can pick was “delighted”.</p>
<p>@wooocollege, i think that might have been one of the answers to the vocab question about politics or something, the one with constitute/differentiate? if not, i don’t know what question it went with, but i didn’t get it anywhere. i have no idea where anyone even saw it unless i’m totally blanking.</p>
