<p>Argh, this thread is so big already. </p>
<p>Anyone find the vocab. on one of the sections ridiculous. It was 2 for me. Had 8 vocab… I died.</p>
<p>DAMN. i fail.</p>
<p>what were the questions asking again for the ‘wry’ 1 and the ‘mocking’ 1??</p>
<p>The geologist gives examples of the features of Io, Europa and some other clestial objects to depict the wide variety of geologic phenomena in space; he obviously finds these interesting or “novel,” as he ranted about them for about ten lines.</p>
<p>I put frustrated about the complexities of his situation, for the name-changing passage.</p>
<p>“Genius is not a quality inherent in certain groups” </p>
<p>Was that the exact wording of the answer? Or was it something like “specific social class”? Or am I thinking about a different question?</p>
<p>I put “frustrated” too.</p>
<p>i think it’s historical speculation because the first part of the question was speculation on what mercator would think (and mercator is part of history)</p>
<p>I second JDong217’s question.</p>
<p>The question was longer JDong; that’s all I could remember, I’m sure that I got it wrong somewhere.</p>
<p>do u guys remember this question about flock of sheeps? what did u put for taht question?</p>
<p>I think I put E for the Mercator one… whatever the last choice was… The adjective there sealed my decision, but I’d like to know if anyone remembers what it is.</p>
<p>I also got jeered, because the author was not mocking anything, she was making a joke about how you may not be “equipped with a flock of sheep.”</p>
<p>If it wasn’t jeer, then it was satirize the rural life (though she wasn’t satirizing the life, just the situation). It definitely wasn’t mock, though.</p>
<p>The author’s mention that some great artists “were not equipped with a flock of sheep” was used to “mock conventional biographies of artists.”</p>
<p>it’s definitely mock, because she’s poking fun at how all the biographies always have to have this poor-kid-turned-great-artist.</p>
<p>satirize usually implies that it’s a parody with a moral (no moral here)
and jeer has a very harsh, cynical connotation–and the author is just making fun.</p>
<p>^ Agree…</p>
<h2>what was the variety and novelty question?</h2>
<p>do u guys remember other answer choices for this one?</p>
<p>What was the one about the journalists and criticism, the vocab?</p>
<p>Why was the picture of Earth not a geological view?</p>
<p>Was it because the image did not show what the details were – things that geologists love? Or was it b/c geologists see it in a different aesthetic way?</p>
<p>And couldn’t the shepherd one something else? I think I put B.</p>
<p>Do we have a compiled list of vocab.?</p>
<p>I think the experimental CR was the TV one… one vocab question I had a hard time on was the Congressmen that were collecting fees?</p>
<p>i put sense of foreboding for the mercator 1</p>
<p>ohoh! I put “geologists see it in a different aesthetic way?”</p>
<p>it wasn’t frustrated</p>
<p>it was surprised</p>
