<p>If the critical reading sections you have done involved the passages of the Japanese cousins Maria and Tsun somethin, you can post about any CR section here. This way, clutter will be reduced and what not(compared to that other thread).</p>
<p>Oh, and u can also guess which of the two 8 multiple choice CR sections was experimental here also!</p>
<p>anyone get naive for some answer?</p>
<p>Yeah naive is right.</p>
<p>I got stunning bewilderment, and not indignantly rebuked, because she was bewildered and stunned by how Maria reacted.</p>
<p>I also got uh reflection on her hometown, because she really only faces changing perceptions at the end when she starts to question her friend’s identity. Most of the passage though, its focus, revolves around talking about her hometown right?</p>
<p>It doesn’t say that she was bewildered. The only way to draw that conclusion is to make an inference, which the SAT never makes you do. On the other hand, it’s pretty clear that what she said was an indignant rebuke.</p>
<p>And I got changing perceptions, which most other people seem to have gotten, but I don’t quite remember the relevant part of the passage. I don’t remember it actually talking about her hometown though.</p>

<p>My bad, rebuke is right. Bewilderment is out of scope.</p>
<p>hard to deny TV to children or tangible materialistic values?? </p>
<p>was the first environmental passage “accepting a trend” and the second passage taking it with caution??</p>
<p>Deny TV to children, don’t remember accepting a trend or caution thing.</p>

<p>dlightextract, I got all the same answers as you on the passage questions (the ones in your first post i mean). Missed a sentence completion though, gah. I looked it up in the dictionary and, yeah.</p>
<p>I said hard to deny tv</p>
<p>And for the environmental one that’s not what I got. Do you remember what the other possible answers were?</p>

<p>What I remember:
complicity
giving up something and benefit(to reflect tsunagi)
churlishness</p>
<p>@randwulf</p>
<p>i think another choice for the question that defines the relationship between the other passages was:</p>
<p>1st passage unquestionably accepts the scientific findings, 2nd passage is skeptical of the scientific findings</p>
<p>don’t remember the other choices…</p>
<p>Man, I take it and think I did great then I come here and find that I missed at least 5 >_<</p>
<p>churlishness? which question was that</p>
<p>That’s what I got dlight, that they unquestionably accept scientific findings. I think that’s right, but I don’t remember the passage well enough to conclusively argue it.</p>

<p>Another answer…
-vulnerability (maria realized tsugumi’s ______, and other choices were like self-reliance, compassion, etc,)</p>
<p>I got vulnerability too, inflore.</p>
