<p>which question was the human complexity one?</p>
<p>@Mascara</p>
<p>“The task of tailoring a life to fit a neat and cohesive narrative is a daunting one”</p>
<p>And the question asked what tailoring means</p>
<p>So… shaping, handling, treatment, and execution were all from the same question?
Hahahaa, I totally got it wrong. (: I definitely said shaping, since the next words after the sentence mentioned “framing.”</p>
<p>I’m really appreciating the clarification! Thanks so much guys.</p>
<p>Mascara, there were two separate questions.</p>
<ol>
<li>What does tailoring mean? >> shaping</li>
<li>What does treatment mean? >> handling/execution/management</li>
</ol>
<p>oh sorry, I was really worried because I put shaping and i also remembered putting handling. Sorry Mascara. I quoted wrong part. I was like I didn’t miss those questions.</p>
<p>“This connection has enhanced rather than lessened my desire to be thorough, rigorous, and balanced in my treatment of her life and ideas”</p>
<p>Here is actual question. What does treatment mean</p>
<p>okay, so this is the question on Thoreau’s Walden. It has to be scientific. it said in the passage “later focused on his more scientific works.” Walden is even seen as scientific (not long and boring or human centered).</p>
<p>“What Coleridge crucially provided Thoreau with was the encouragement, even perhaps in terms of authorial authority, the right, to merge a scientific approach to nature with his kaleidoscopic imaginative sweep over the living ecology of Walden.”</p>
<p>just look up on google thoreau’s walden scientific & youll see a ton of results.</p>
<p>^But in the context of the passage, the pause for “How to live?” emphasized the “human-centered” nature of Thoreau’s Walden.</p>
<p>The SAT would not require students to have background knowledge in order to answer a question.</p>
<p>^Opheliaa
I totally agree with you. You are only analyzing based on what is given to you in the passage. Looking up the actually you will only make you to overthink it.</p>
<p>Okay, that makes sense.
Now I’m a bit worried because I don’t ever remember answering the handling question, but handling pops out the most. Does anyone remember the two other options? I’m almost certain I selected handling, which calms me a bit.</p>
<p>As for this Thoreau thing, I can see it going either way now. But what sold me on the fundamentally human-centered were the phrases “‘How to live’” and “all but forgotten.” Remember, “all but forgotten” means almost forgotten, not “not forgotten.” I’m not sure what the wording for the “scientifically-oriented” question was, but the word fundamentally really stuck for me. That means, at its core, it is human-based. Not science based or anything. “How to live” -> human -> the basis, the context of what he’s writing.</p>
<p>On the other hand, you do make a great argument for the scientifically oriented. I wouldn’t be surprised if it went that way. However, after searching the rest of the article, the passage continues to talk about philosophy and other human-based things (haha).</p>
<ol>
<li>What does tailoring mean? >> shaping</li>
</ol>
<p>WHAT WERE THE OTHER ANSWER CHOICES?</p>
<p>I believe “treatment” question had…
a) execution
b) investigation
c) management
d) ?
e) handling</p>
<p>no no, the “shaping” question.</p>
<p>^Imabrown, this is where you are wrong. Although it did say Thoreau was scientific in HIS LATER BOOKS, there is nothing to imply Walden was part of it</p>
<p>@ oncloud9 are you crazy? the curve in march was the harshest it has EVER been. I missed 3 skipped 0 and got a 740.</p>
<p>@imbrown the only thing opinions that matter are those of the author. Who cares if tons of people on google think Walden is scientific centered. Answers are based on what’s in the PASSAGE. There is no compelling argument for scientific. It’s clearly human centered based on the last few sentences.</p>
<p>I just want to see my score(s) already…-.-</p>
<p>What did you guys put for the emphatic/fatalistic question?</p>
<p>I put fatalistic, but in hindsight, that was too extreme of an answer choice.</p>
<p>^I feel the same way.</p>
<p>I’m really pulling for “vehement” haha. I know I missed the “handling” question (I went with management).</p>
<p>I still feel as though the blogging quote was “qualifying a claim” rather than “explaining a phenomenon”. Can anybody locate that passage via google to emphatically disprove me?</p>
