<p>i can’t remember… for the iceberg question, was the answer “social norms…” also the same as “mass of accepted information about genius”, or were they two separate options altogether? can anyone help?</p>
<p>ownage11, they were two separate options. “mass of…” was the correct one, I believe.</p>
<p>It indeed talked about how much happiness was in the present, and how it was like a feast before us. However, I believe it asked us what author two would name the passage, not author one.</p>
<p>Author one had the more positive outlook, while author two had the less enthusiastic look. So, why would author two name the first paragraph “The Feast before Us” when he disagreed with it? Wouldn’t he choose a less positive title since he wasn’t very inclined to author one’s appeal?</p>
<p>can anyone remember the ‘novelty and diversity’ question? also, what were the other options for that qn?</p>
<p>Same! Does anyone know the question and other possible answers to the novelty vs diversity one cause I dont remember that answer at all and now I’m really afraid that I accidentally skipped that one and its really making me FREAK OUT!!! Does anyone know how many questions were in that section? 23?24?</p>
<p>The feast question was 100% #1 choosing a phrase from #2’s paragraph that would be a good title for #1’s paragraph. I spent a lot of time on that one because it was phrased wierd and an odd question in general.</p>
<p>@hayfatass</p>
<p>24 questions in that section.</p>
<p>and you may not remember it if you put a different answer and don’t remember considering “novelty vs diversity”</p>
<p>I would still love to know the exact question for novelty and diversity. (This could kill my chances at a 2400)</p>
<p>You guys are mixing up a choice for the iceberg one. </p>
<p>It was “mass of received ideas about art.”</p>
<p>I’m going to argue some answers (doesn’t matter, because it’s all done, but for anyone who cares…)</p>
<p>Question 1: Mass of received ideas vs. role of social setting in art</p>
<p>this is the key part of the passage:</p>
<p>The question “Why have there been no great women artists?” is ismply the top tenth of an iceberg of misinterpretation and misconception; beneath lies a vast dark bulk of shaky idees recues about the nature of art and its situational concomitants, about the nature of human abilities in general and of human excellence in particular, and the role that the social order plays in all of this.</p>
<p>This passage does not directly address art in any way; it is comparing the iceberg to the “nature of art” and its “situational concomitants (social influences on the nature of art)”, the nature of human abilities and human excellence in particular (genius) and the role that the social order plays in all of this.</p>
<p>It specifies the nature of art in relation to “situational concomitants” and the “role that the social order plays in all of this.” Thus, it is not the mass of received ideas about art, but the ignorance of the role that social setting (social order, situational concomitants) plays in the development of genius.</p>
<p>Question 2: Admiration vs. discovery</p>
<p>“This boy knows more than I do.”
Cimabue, overcome admiration for the realism of the drawing, immediately invited the humble youth to be his pupil. </p>
<p>Nothing here emphasizes discovery. The admiration is very clear. The correct and best answer has to be admiration. The question also specifies the quote above, and not the text around it. Admiration is very clear.</p>
<p>Question 3: Surprised at the ease of his name change vs. uneasy about his new situation</p>
<p>He spends the days of orientation rushing around campus, back and forth along the intersecting flagstone path, past the clock tower, and the turreted, crenelated buildings. He is too harried, at first, to sit on the grass in Old Campus as the other students do, perusing their course catalogues, playing Frisbee, getting to know one another among the verdigris -covered statues of robed, seated men. He makes a list of all the places he has to go, circling the buildings on his campus map. When he is alone in his room, he types out a written request notifying the registrar’s office of his name change, providing examples of his former and current signatures side by side. He gives these documents to a secretary, along with a copy of the change-of-name form. He tells his freshmen counselor about his name change; he tells the person in charge of processing his student ID and his library card. He corrects the error in stealth, not bothering to explain to Jonathan and Brandon what he’s so busy doing all day, and then suddenly it is over. After so much work, it is no work at all.</p>
<p>I find this to be a slightly ambiguous question. However, the surprised answer is not logical. The answer was phrased roughly “surprised at how easily his name change was accomplished.” However, we see from the passage that it was NOT accomplished easily. He spends a great amount of time on it. It specifies that “after so much work” it is no work at all. Thus, it was indeed a great amount of work. The task was not easily accomplished.</p>
<p>luminouzz,
you are remembering the wordings of the questions wrong. he was not surprised by the EASE of the situation, he was surprised that the process was finally over.</p>
<p>also, with the mass of received ideas about art, just about everybody has confirmed that this was indeed the correct answers, so you should be careful when defending your own ideas with such conviction. giving a pretense of confidense does not make your anwers correct, nor does it compensate for lapses in memory</p>
<p>If it was surprise that the process was finally over, then I’m wrong. I would be surprised if I had not picked that answer.</p>
<p>As for the mass of received ideas about art, everyone seems to remember it as the “mass of received ideas about genius.” I can confirm that it was the mass of received ideas about art. Consensus is not always right. Here is my argument, and I believe it to be a solid one.</p>
<p>Question 1: Mass of received ideas vs. role of social setting in art</p>

<p>Even the first phrase is a conjunction including situation - “the nature of art and its situational concomitants.”</p>
<p>@pozuelo could you remember if “the mass of received ideas” is the same as “social norms”. or different?</p>
<p>^ they were different</p>
<p>I apologize if this has already been asked, but for those who had the test that was the blue cover and with math as the second section: college board says that the fourth section was the one that didn’t count (and it was CR). Was this the one with 25 questions, or was that the third section?</p>
<p>The blue cover with math second was writing experimental (section 4).</p>
<p>For the buddha/“feast before us” passage, was it unavoidable imposition or burdensome obligation? I remember the passage talking about how tiresome and burdensome the present is, but everyone else put unavoidable imposition. DARNIT…</p>
<p>the present is not an obligation; it is an unavoidable imposition, a fact that one must deal with no matter what.</p>
<p>Oh my gosh, I got AT LEAST 6 wrong…I hope I can still get 700.</p>
<p>I keep finding new questions I probably got wrong…</p>
<p>For the Nikoli passage, does anyone remember whether the surprised choice was</p>
<p>a) surprised at how easily he accomplished his name change</p>
<p>or</p>
<p>b) surprised that the process was over</p>
<p>unavoidable opposition</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>b</p>
