<p>Based on the balanced/ emphatic argument, I believe it was balanced because I knew it was talking about passage 2</p>
<p>its not balanced. it was asking about tone and i dont think balanced describes tone well. Plus i remember it saying P1 and i put emphatic. </p>
<p>I also put “inspiration” for the kael one. the “way stations” and how it said that Kael admired the other critics made me put it. If i got this wrong</p>
<p>Well in the same respect I believe it was emphatic because I knew it was talking about passage 1. Get over it, we’re not gonna come to a solution.</p>
<p>Passage 1 was ironic not emphatic.</p>
<p>i have a few questions about the critical reading</p>
<p>for the passage wit the jump roper,
it says one of the answers is “comparison” was “foreshadowing” one of the choices? if so doesnt that make more sense?</p>
<p>for the movie critic passage,
what were the other choices for the question that asked “the purpose of the personal anecdote in lines__ was to” and what was the right answer</p>
<p>for the rewilding passage,
explain why these are the right answers and what other choices were present in those questions
Passage 2 author would think the conservationists mentioned in Passage would
think that the “significant risks” mentioned in Passage 1 were well-founded
-coping with problems and not finding solutions
-Passage 1 would think the last part of Passage 2 (the suggestions about what to
do with the money) was inadequate.
-Last part of passage 2 - suggesting alternatives.
-both authors took positions on a possible plan of action</p>
<p>i know this is alot but please do your best and anything you remember is helpful</p>
<p>what was ironic about it? nothing,</p>
<p>so the function of democracy or something was the wording " american political system" or was that a completely differnet option?</p>
<p>i remember soemthing about putting too much burden on the government and something about the american politcial system. But i cannot remember seeing the word “function” </p>
<p>please clear this up for me ???</p>
<p>is it possible that the two authors were an inspiration because they were also less ornate? because i just read the passage and it literally says, “for whom Kael admired” doesnt that mean they were inspirations?</p>
<p>@seramaria. there was one political option. u probly got it right.</p>
<p>The actual wording of that question, pcarlitz, did not have the word “inspirations” in it. </p>
<p>Let me tell of you the actual phrasing because i picked that choice as well:</p>
<p>“to show where ALL the sources of Kael came from.”</p>
<p>It was something very similar to that^</p>
<p>hmmm i dont think i wouldve picked it if it said all.</p>
<p>does anybody remember the sentence completion with decorum or what any of the other options were?</p>
<p>^i distinctly remember the word “all” being in there.</p>
<p>Does anyone have a link to the rewilding article? It would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Hey guys, can someone explain why the short passage about the guy going into the mountain can’t be (e), that it was a feeling only he felt?</p>
<p>my reasoning was that the sentence about the boy and the toy started with “all alone…” then the analogy. Even though it does mention the boy hid it for a day, isn’t the kind of satisfaction that the boy gets something that is unique to him because he’s doing something nobody else knows about?</p>
<p>@obstinator: It said that the toy was stolen and that he knew he was going to have to give it back. Thus the feeling is short-lived. Intuitively, if the toy is stolen then another has experienced the pleasures of that toy (the rightful owner).</p>
<p>i thought it was a feeling only he felt because having the toy hidden was like a secret only he knew about. and also the sentence began somewhere along the lines of “all alone, …”</p>
<p>I see how your answer could be valid but the overwhelming feeling was definitely short-lived–he hid it because he didn’t want the feeling to end but knew it would.</p>
