November 2009 CRITICAL READING Discussion

<p>DONT FORGET, there are several different versions AS WELL AS different experimental sections. make sure you talk to someone with a similar version before you start guessing which sections are experimental.</p>

<p>For the elites…latitude vocab one I know for sure I didn’t put that… Ugh I just don’t exactly remember what I put.</p>

<p>The authoritative regime gave more rights to the “adversaries” of the opposite party, but they were still not “inclined” to participate politically. (something like that for the sentence).
That’s what I picked anyways. I don’t get no-audio’s choice. Why would the authoritative regime give more rights to the elite of an opposing party?</p>

<p>^^ Yup, 99% sure that’s the right answer 187.</p>

<p>i chose the one below elites/latitude
first word began with an “s” and the second one was “compensation” i think?
was stuck between that and elites.</p>

<p>187:</p>

<p>the regime gave the ___ rights, but the rank and file members, or the petty members, had no such ________. latitude means “scope for freedom of action or thought”. elites, in contrast to the rank and file, got rights.</p>

<p>yes, we must have different versions. i remember “seminal” and “hubris” but i don’t really remember the other words even being mentioned. i “THINK” i had blue</p>

<p>Did anyone have two of the same questions? I was like completely freaked out when I saw it again. It was like a trapezoid divided into 3 Equilateral triangles and they give you the larger base of the trapezoid. The first one they give you 16, the second time they give you x or something</p>

<p>stalwarts compensation </p>

<p>i went with elites/latitudes…</p>

<p>^stalwarts, compensation</p>

<p>I think 187’s right. I didn’t put that though dammit.</p>

<p>@no<em>audio: However, I’m pretty sure it said “The authoritative regime gave rights to the </em>__ of the opposite party” for the first part of the sentence. This means it couldn’t be the elite.</p>

<p>anyone remember hard questions from the fuel cell passage or the incas passage?</p>

<p>Inca, BSO, fuel cells, free will, video games… that’s what I had.</p>

<p>No_audio your missing the most important part, which is that the authoritative regime gave more rights to the OPPOSITE PARTY. The authoritative party should not give any rights to the opposite party, hence it’s adversaries. not the elite.</p>

<p>@187:
Question was something like “The authoritative regime gave the elites of the opposing party rights, but the rank and file members (of that party) did not receive such ______” or something liek that… i really don’t see how your answer could be right</p>

<p>compensation didnt make any sense for the second part… so i went with elites/latitudes</p>

<p>with my answer the question makes a lot of sense. in other words, means something like “although the authoritarian regime gave the opposing party’s elite certain rights, it ignored the rank and file of that party”</p>

<p>The only other answer choice (for the Sentence Completion) that would have fit was A since it ended in opportunity, which fit the contrast to the sentence. However, it wasn’t correct due to the first word.</p>

<p>was gregarious an answer… like the person liked watching tv rather than going out and socializing</p>

<p>and was resurgence the answer about the artist coming back from being on the periphery and now is in the center of attention</p>

<p>or was it something/boundary</p>

<p>amigious or something…</p>

<p>what about compromises?</p>

<p>unequivocal</p>
