<p>@luminouzz are you saying that the answer u put for the iceberg question - is the view held by society or something like that?</p>
<p>I chose the answer that said genius was simply assumed to be there, and that social conditions were not taken into account.</p>
<p>Stix2400, you remember the wording of the “mass received ideas” answer differently than I do.</p>
<p>I remember the answer as “mass received ideas about art.”</p>
<p>If it was “mass received ideas about genius,” then I would have chosen it.</p>
<p>could anyone remember any of the other options for the above question?</p>
<p>Did anyone have a vocab choice where the answer was loquacious? Because no one else I know had that question (or they just have really bad memories)
Did anyone have the passage about the a woman’s mother asking her to write her memoirs for her? She was a Russian political activist? Anyone? Because no one I know had that passage for their experimental, they had a different one…Has there every been two different CR experimental sections in one test administration?</p>
<p>I had a question with loquacious, but I don’t remember that passage you are referring to.</p>
<p>Doesn’t “mass received ideas about art” include what it takes to make great art? Which would mean most people disregard the social context</p>
<p>So what’s the latest composed list of answers?
can anyone post it?</p>
<p>Pretty sure the situation was analogous to the discovery of Giotto and not admiration.</p>
<p>for to chart i put conspire. it reminded me of complot= conspirancy. i am not sure if i had the right answer ,though.</p>
<p>The answer “mass received ideas about art” was too general. The passage as a whole was not discussing art, but rather artistic genius (and the conditions that result genius). </p>
<p>I was on the fence about the admiration vs. discovery question. I chose admiration because it was easily supported in both instances. The word admiration was actually used in the first example…the master’s remark toward Michelangelo also showed obvious admiration.</p>
<p>What did everyone put for the…“And suddenly there was no work at all.”</p>
<p>I put uneasiness, but I’m pretty sure that’s wrong now. I just didn’t get a feeling of surprise from the way it was written.</p>
<p>Luminouzz, even if we are in the minority, I still fully agree with you about the “mass of received ideas about art” being far too vague. All the references to the iceberg of misinterpretations, misconceptions, human excellence, etc. seem to point towards assumption about genius.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure it’s surprise, because he was feeling a mixture of relief and joy, not uneasiness, when he changed his name successfully in the beginning of the passage.</p>
<p>What were the answer choices to the iceberg question?</p>

<p>good job on the list
some comments
- why does eclectic appear twice?</p>
<ol>
<li><p>add refutation of a claim to the native american passage</p></li>
<li><p>discovery not admiration.
quote from passage “The fairy tale of the discovery by an older artist or discerning
patron of the Boy Wonder, usually in the guise of a lowly shepherd boy, has been a
stock-in-trade of artistic mythology ever since Vasari immortalized the young Giotto,”
same discovery occurs with michelangelo
while both cimabue and michelangelo’s master admire the works, the point is that their talent was not known, and that they were “discovered”</p></li>
<li><p>artificially enhanced not immediately understandable
quote from passage
“available to the eye of instant interpretation. Within this book, each planet and moon had its accompanying map, composed of a computer-generated image that flattened its subject out on a single rectangular strip-the so-called Mtheyercator projection.”</p></li>
</ol>
<p>they are available! because of the mercator projection. just a regular picture would not have made the features clear, but the computer generated “flattened image” made things “available for instant interpretation”
the meaning of this is that the mercator projections makes things easy to understand
he discusses earlier how the regular pictures of planets from out in space don’t show the details geologists are interested in, but the mercator projections do</p>
<p>thus immediatly understable is not correct
it is available for interpretation, but it still takes time to understand
always avoid such absolute generalization like “immediate”
they are impossible to prove</p>
<p>A couple of things:</p>
<ol>
<li>impulse to guide him (signing up for drawing classes)</li>
</ol>
<p>i found that choice to be a bit too much looking into him. while he signed up at the last minute, we know that his grandfather was an artist, and we have no reason to believe that nikhil doesn’t also have this talent. he may have long wanted to take this course, and although he signed up last minute, it was not necessarily an impulse. we do, however, know for a fact that he is willing to take extra classes [since this art course was obviously not part of what he needed in his schedule/curriculum]. so i chose that. any comments?</p>
<p>On the admiration v. discovery:</p>
<p>i’d have to go with admiration because picassos teacher already knew picasso, and was now admiring him (“the boy knows more than I”). while he may have been “discovering” his talent, it was not his first encounter with picasso as it was with giotto. it is clear that both instances had a feature of admiration.</p>
<p>What was the choice on the iceberg question–not the mass choice, but the one about genius? how was it worded? i don’t remember even seeing that choice.</p>
<ol>
<li>genius is not specific to a type of people</li>
</ol>
<p>i believe the point of comparing those two was that both were in social positions (role of aristocracy, role of women) that did not allow for the time to be put in to develop genius. now, that also makes the answer given above ^^ seem correct, in that genius is not specific to only men and not to aristocracy/women. both seem kind of correct =</p>
<p>any comments please?</p>
<p>…what was the question for slapstick?(SC)</p>
<p>anybody?.. </p>
<p>and what about historical speculation… I cant remember the precise question…</p>
<p>finally,is it wry??? I put puzzled…</p>
<p>also, how many questions you have to miss to get 650, 660, 670, n680?(each)</p>
<ol>
<li>genius is not specific to a type of people</li>
</ol>
<p>i believe the question said it WAS specific to a type of people, and more particularly, i think it said “genius is not a quality inherent in certain groups of people,” which i took explicitly from the text, so i believe that is correct.</p>
<p>also, add a passage about elizabeth becoming a journalist,the short one right before native american texts. the two correct answers in that section were “to explain a reaction” and “independence”</p>
<p>also, though i didn’t put “immediately understandable,” i do think it’s that one just a tiny bit more than “artificially enhanced,” though in reality, both are true. and i agree on “admiration,” too.</p>
<p>For the Gogol one (#26), I do not think “Parallel structure” is the answer.</p>
