November 2009 CRITICAL READING Discussion

<p>i want to discuss the machu piccu passage and the fuel cell, but i dont remember any goshdang questions ugh. anyone care to share ANY question on those so that i can jog my memory at least…</p>

<p>no_audio, the first part of your choice doesn’t make sense. The authoritarian regime wouldn’t give elites of the opposing party any rights. Rather, they would gave rights to the “opponents of their opponents”, hence, the adversaries of the opponent party.</p>

<p>@tbonus, yeah I got gregarious and resurgence.</p>

<p>tbonus, you’re right on both</p>

<p>macchu piccu i had:
different plant zones for one
and i think personal theory/expl?</p>

<p>I agree with no_audio about the elites…latitude, I’m fairly certain I got that one right, but I think all of our memories aren’t exactly 100% right in remembering the question.</p>

<p>And I put gregarious for an answer as well as resurgence and periphery</p>

<p>KK… list time anyone??</p>

<p>altruism
prescient
compilation/commemorated
trivialized/exasperated
gregarious
resurgence/periphery
uncorroborated/ephemeral
elites/latitude</p>

<p>^I agree with most of those.</p>

<p>It is definitely not elites/latitude. There is no logic that the authoritative party would give anybody more rights if they were opposing them. It has to be adversaries.</p>

<p>can we talk about the tv vs. books essay where the guy talks about children and adults? the literate attitude stuff</p>

<p>No. I guarantee that the answer was stalwart…compensation. The answer was given through the context clues. Many are ignoring the fact that the sentence mentioed “rank-and-file” because very few know what that means. Rank-and-file members are those who are dependable, faithful, etc. Stalwarts follow that definition. </p>

<p>Also, “compensation” does make sense in context. In this case, it does not mean money, but to “make up for”. Hence this is why the stalwarts/rank-and-file members received rights - for compensation.</p>

<p>I had an 800 in CR last month so I trust myself on this one.</p>

<p>^Btw, the above post pertains to something mentioned 8-9 minutes ago.</p>

<p>I put down gregarious as an answer as well, but I wasn’t too confident (I put it down just cause I remembered it being a word that I wanted to study, but didn’t get to cause it was 11:45 already.) I don’t remember the resurgence/periphery choices, but briefly remember the question. But that sounds right looking at it now.</p>

<p>And 187, I had the f(x) - g(x) but it wasn’t a grid in lulz.</p>

<p>i said stalwarts for that b/c stalwarts are strongly opposed to something so it was like a double negative?</p>

<p>yay please be stalwart/compensation LOL</p>

<p>I think we’re mixing in words/phrases from two separate SC questions.</p>

<p>@CrzyGmer789X2: By grid-in, I meant the grid-in Math section as a whole.</p>

<p>SHIZZLE, what version did you have? blue/pink or whatever?</p>

<p>Rank and file members are normal members. And it doesn’t matter, because there’s a contrast from the first term to the second term</p>

<p>rank and file means ordinary members. has nothing to do with how “faithful” they are. rank and file is used to imply that they were NOT the privileged members of the party. i am sure that “elites” supplies the appropriate contrast to “rank and file”, and the sentence makes sense because since the rank and file didn’t get these rights, they had no “latitude”, or freedoms</p>

<p>I don’t remember what I put for the stalwart/compensation question but I remember crossing it off cause stalwart “didn’t make sense” to me. Boy I wish I paid more attention in APUSH so I could’ve gotten that one right.</p>

<p>the normal people didnt want compensation… they wanted a voice… thats how i read it.</p>
