<p>“This movement has led to some fine objective writing, but it has also led to many dull pages, exhaustive and occasionally exhausting works.”</p>
<p>The “long and exhaustive” answer was the trick answer. The actual one had to do with both good and bad or whatever.</p>
<p>**The problem is that most readers are human beings and therefore naturally interested in the human. ** Walden never had that problem because it was enlivened and youthful, so therefore it could not be fundamentally human centered? I don’t even know anymore haha.</p>
<p>For the Sentence Completions - two more!</p>
<p>COMMONER (the Japanese woman who married into the Imperial family)
CONNOISSEUR (art)</p>
<p>What would be 10 Questions WRONG and 3 omit be on the CR? If you had to estimate</p>
<p>For the nuclear plant one about the other resources (tried and wanting)
I put that electricity wasnt the only problem because passage 1 talked about replacing appliances for more efficient ones and how it’s all for the electricity. But p2 talked about how we had other needs besides electricity (transportation)</p>
<p>The question said something like, What does the author view Walden as, I chose A which said dry and boring</p>
<p>What were some other options?</p>
<p>Read the paragraph in the article before the SAT paragraph. </p>
<p>“Strange that a book like “Walden,” so outside of genre and driven by such a boldly personal and idiosyncratic quest – “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life. . .” – should have created a genre that is so often dry and impersonal.”</p>
<p>Don’t think he’d consider it a dull piece</p>
<p>OMG, I come to CC to get some answers, and now I’m even more confused about the Walden passage.</p>
<p>The author uses Walden as dry and boring when he says its “driving youthful question…enlivened ‘Walden’”?</p>
<p>The long/exhaustive one was for that passage’s other question, not the one specifically referring to Walden, but that response was wrong as well.</p>
<p>But isn’t Walden the ideal, according to the author? After all, the narrator refers to that question from Walden as enlivening, and states that it has been made obsolete due to the anthropocentric shift. </p>
<p>I think I’m in agreement with Ivy here. The only positive answer I could find, and that I chose, however, was “scientifically appropriate”. I wasn’t too sure about this one, and seeing how nobody agrees with me is disconcerting.</p>
<p>Ehhh…I remember a sentence completion about a person named “Ed.” I think it was about spending time in museums…The answer for that, I’m pretty sure, was connoisseur?</p>
<p>The only reason I remembered that one was because my name is Ed hahaha xD</p>
<p>Thoreau is definitely the exception to the movement in the author’s mind. He views Walden as the piece the scientific movement should have followed but instead was exhaustive and boring, NOT Walden.</p>
<p>Hi guys, what would -9 wrong and 18 omit on CR be!? what score?</p>
<p>chowaznmein:</p>
<p>I’m sure that connoisseur was the right answer. He became an expert on art history.</p>
<p>Actually if you read the passage, he does not think that the entirety of the scientific movement was exhaustive and boring.</p>
<p>It is 100% connoisseur. the guy is an expert in art, which is what a connoisseur is, an expert in a given field</p>
<p>Guys, I still think scientifically appropriate is the right answer…Walden was a book that defined what a genre should be. Other books used too much of it[science]. Walden had just the right amount.</p>
<p>What would 10 wrong and 2 omit on CR be?</p>
<p>@raccoon same here i think!</p>
