<p>the consensus earlier agreed that the answer was that “it has been tried before”</p>
<p>He was prideful because he said that was where his brain was…it was basically saying he had a huge brain full of ideas</p>
<p>seahawk</p>
<p>was it the question with overly optimistic in it??</p>
<p>i thought the answer was underestimating costs</p>
<p>what was the wording of that answer?</p>
<p>and the one with overly optimistic was the one about blogging</p>
<p>can someone please predict my M and CR scores really quick - </p>
<p>CR - minus 7 at most
M - minus 3 grid ins, minus 6 Multiple Choice</p>
<p>thank you so much!</p>
<p>Cr- around a 690-710
Math- 600-650</p>
<p>the wording was about what would author 2 say about author 1 proposal.</p>
<p>Again taunt, rebuttal, parody, and pun. What was the other choice on that question</p>
<p>it was underestimating the costs of hydrofuels or something</p>
<p>@harvest: He was prideful because he was proud of his huge head (he thinks it means he has as big brain); there was a word in the sentence that also implied pride.</p>
<p>@hitthebooks: I didn’t pick “it has been tried and wanted”. Only passage 1 mentioned something like that; passage 2 said that the new inventions were very efficient or something like that.</p>
<p>“It was tried before and thus far found wanting”</p>
<p>Was this the answer choice that most agree is correct, more or less?</p>
<p>@NewYorkMets
yes.</p>
<p>oh yeah</p>
<p>taunt pun rebuttal parody question</p>
<p>i put the other option as answer but cant remember </p>
<p>anyone?</p>
<p>correct because billions has been poured in solar and wind and it hasn’t worked</p>
<p>hmm, I think I put that the approach had to look beyond the electric potential…am I thinking of the right question? because Passage 1 in those lines was all about more efficiency and electricity while passage 2 explained the environmental/financial effects</p>
<p>@scholastic, taunt
@NY, yep, i put that wanting option as well</p>
<p>i would say CR 750-790, writing 760-800, math…let’s not talk about it</p>
<p>@Seahawks
it was referring to this one sentence in passage one where ppl think they’ll get attention by blogging and asked wut the ppl of passage 2 would think about that</p>
<p>lets make an argument for the financial thing
consensus is : it has been tried and found wanting
in passage 2 it did say all the things (energy-efficient light bulbs etc) were tried but found wanting means “blameworthy, guilty”
but I don’t remember the passage saying anything about it being bad</p>
<p>it just said billions were poured in etc tons and tons of money
so the other choice was
“underestimated the financial costs” something like that </p>
<p>?anyone? opinion?</p>
<p>@scholasticapt, thats what I have been trying to figure it out.</p>
<p>@sister, passage one however does not mention anything about financial cost so you can underestimate something you have never said</p>
<p>but the second passage didn’t find the hydrofuels wanting</p>
<p>it just thought they were too expensive and unrealistic</p>
<p>@scholasticapt
@sister277</p>
<p>Agree with you guys, but people say that was the trap answer…</p>
<p>Also, if you’re arguing for an answer, please qualify that you do well in CR normally. There are a ton of people arguing for absurdly wrong answers…</p>
