<p>well if he’s dismissive he would be more calm and dismiss the other guy’s angry response</p>
<p>if he was measured, that doesn’t necessarily mean he would have been calm just because he calculated his actions before he acted</p>
<p>i think its dismissive</p>
<p>but i think that’s more negative when they intended you to find a neutral word. i thought the sentence was worded to be like …it was surprising that he could be so calm because normal people would lash out and retaliate rudely.</p>
<p>Dismissive seems too extreme; I thought you had to stretch it a bit to get that.</p>
<p>I agree with minimeigh’s explanation.</p>
<p>true, i agree, but i don’t see how that really correlates with being “calculated”</p>
<p>a dismissive person would be more calm and simply ignore another’s anger idk…i always hate CR how it could go either way</p>
<p>thats why math and writing are easier since they have just 1 correct answer</p>
<p>I actually partially agree with you, Mandalore. I thought dismissive meant actively refuting, but apparently not always:</p>
<p>dismissiveness - a form of denial, characterized by either passively showing indifference or disregard, or actively dismissing or rejecting ideas or evidence</p>
<p>Best not to think too hard about the questions, though.</p>
<p>so did we agree that the section with dismissive is NOT exp?</p>
<p>Yes, it’s not an experimental.</p>
<p>darn…</p>
<p>What was the question that had dismissive as an answer choice? I can’t remember what I put for it.</p>
<p>It involved the politician who did not fold under the pressure of his critic’s harsh questions (that was the general idea). The correct answer was measured</p>
<p>And who remembers the vocab fill in regarding the spider’s prey? I vaguely remember it…but I can’t be too sure</p>
<p>For the spider’s prey it was something like “Spiders attack moving targets, so _____ may help their prey survive” and the choices were immobility, spontaneity, attentiveness.</p>
<p>I would say immobility…correct?</p>
<p>that’s what I said :)</p>
<p>That’s what I put.</p>
<p>here’s what we have so far. there were 18 Sc’s. What am I missing?</p>
<p>1) hubris
2) seminal
3) intransigent
4) given to…platitude
5) antithetical…adulatory
6) embezzlement question: complicity in
7) maya angelou: versatile- an island!
8) measured-the SC question with a man giving calm responses to people
who criticize him…was the answer dismissive? Or was it measured? It involved
the politician who did not fold under the pressure of his critic’s harsh questions<br>
(that was the general idea).
9) discredit
10) Apologize (was this experimental?)
11) Immobility- for the spider prey one- For the spider’s prey it was something like
“Spiders attack moving targets, so _____ may help their prey survive” and the
choices were immobility, spontaneity, attentiveness</p>
<p>for the politician scientist one
what was the answer for the one asking what would the scientists in passage one think about the civic textbooks in passage two?</p>
<p>also u forgot the one where john was an innovator and made stem cell stuff that was beneficial</p>
<p>There’s the compassion/perfectionist one. I put altruism/connossieur or however you spell it because I misremembered the definition of connossieur.</p>
<p>@1321432</p>
<p>I think I chose something about how it reflects their idea of how democracy operates .</p>
<p>Oh i put that it was consistent with the ideas of civic tetxbooks</p>
