<p>oh it was definitely sympathetic.</p>
<p>definitely sympathetic as well. Why would the author “apologize” on behalf of Descartes? Even if apologetic means excusatory, he is not making excuses for anyone. He is sympathetic to Descartes because he is “very human”. This goes along with a point made later in the passage that humans are not special in the universe, and their minds are just “a bunch of molecules”. In critical reading, you must be able to support your answer from the TEXT directly. Although you may stretch (a lot) and get to apologetic, the text clearly says “very human and very understandable” and thus it must be sympathetic.</p>
<p>YES!!! sweet</p>
<p>does anyone else know the other answer choices for the apocryphal sc</p>
<p>yeah i remember when i was doing that question I was deciding between apologetic and sympathetic, but then you have to put it in context.</p>
<p>It’s sympathetic. I would be really surprised if it’s not.</p>
<p>Turks, if you were so careful to look up apologetic, why didn’t you look up panache? I will do it for you:</p>
<p>1 : an ornamental tuft (as of feathers) especially on a helmet
2 : dash or flamboyance in style and action : VERVE</p>
<p>If I recall, verve was even in the question. =)</p>
<p>was the answer panache? i put that. haha some stupid class i took last year i remember my teacher using the word panache to discuss style or something so i just put that.</p>
<p>yeah it was panache =) forbearance was the only other one that i thought could be it since i didnt remember what it meant…but then i didnt get the impression that it would mean anything like showy and arrogant.</p>
<p>What does panache mean? I completely guessed on the question.</p>
<p>I also guessed using POE
Panache means energetic style, or in other context, feathers</p>
<p>Verve was a clue in the SC so Panache fit
yay!</p>
<p>lol i actually knew what panache meant…about the 54 questoin, i’ve explained it about 3 times on this topic; just look around but the answers are 54 and for the median its the number thats between 54-65</p>
<p>I didn’t know what verve meant, but since it said something about swagger I put aloof… thats two CR questions wrong (I put apologetic for the Descartes one)</p>
<p>what WAS the nature of hexagon/equilateral triangle question?</p>
<p>It said to move three units away from that given point, counting each side of a hex a as unit. Then it asked if you did this for all possible paths, what shape would all the endpoints of he paths fall on.</p>
<p>does any one remember if the question about 5 positive digits adding up to 100 and the min is 10 was a MC or write-in?</p>
<p>It was an MC, because some choices I remember were 46 and 64, the kind of numbers to trip you up,</p>
<p>Answer was 54</p>
<ol>
<li><p>The question about the square with two similar triangles attached…does anyone know what the answer was for that?</p></li>
<li><p>The question about 2x=3y=4z and the answer was 13/6, does anyone know the letter of the correct choice (i.e. A. or B…)*</p></li>
</ol>
<p>*I dont even know if they’re the same on all the tests but anyway those were the only two on math i didnt get for some reason, and I guessed C on the first one and D on the second.</p>
<p>the 13/6 answer was A</p>
<p>dunno top one</p>
<p>okay! so does anyone know which writing section was experimental?</p>
