<p>starportDX i put that this just the public desire for war books or something of that nature. i dont know maybe some1 else can do a better job describing u the answer</p>
<p>it's wi*<strong><em>l guys...wi</em></strong>*l</p>
<p>Can we be certain that the answer to the "wi*<strong><em>l/nostalgic" question was NOT "restrained"? Because I was trying to choose between wi</em></strong><em>l and restrained and I picked wi</em>***l.</p>
<p>Also what is an oracle? Charlatain can mean fake, but it can also mean cheats/thiefs. When he said something like "why are those fortune tellers still using telephones to call people for a job instead of getting wealthy by playing the stock market," to me that sounds like the author is accusing them of being cheats/thiefs because if they could really see the future, they would be rich by now.</p>
<p>did he even imply strong of them being a charlatan. because he only says at the end where he wonders these people dont spend their money on stock. from that we're assuming that he doesnt think they're real. thats a pretty strong assumption i think. i dont know. now that i think about i would prolly put oracle</p>
<p>for the oracle/charlatan question, does anyone remember the exact phrasing? The psychics themselves think they're oracles but the author thinks they're charlatans... so which was it?</p>
<p>I only ruled out oracle because the question asked for "implied" not "referred to". Could be wrong.</p>
<p>i don't like how wi****l is censored -_-</p>
<p>the question was something like:</p>
<p>the last sentence in the end of the passage something something something </p>
<p>That's all i remember >_<</p>
<p>can someone please generally phrase the question to which the answer seems to be split between "facetious/earnest" and "flowery" cus i forgot the question</p>
<p>can some one find the passage online for the oracle one</p>
<p>oracle-definitions
a divine communication or revelation.<br>
any person or thing serving as an agency of divine communication.<br>
any utterance made or received as authoritative, extremely wise, or infallible.
The author doubted the legitimacy of these psychics. The last sentence even asks why they don't make millions on the stock market in a pretty sarcastic tone. THe passage supports charlatan (a person who pretends to more knowledge or skill than he or she possesses; quack) fits perfectly.
Where in the passage does the author actually says he believes the psychics?(I know sp)</p>
<p>yeah, an oracle is someone who can tell the future. he doesn't consider them to be oracles.</p>
<p>also, i don't even see how restrained makes sense.</p>
<p>yea but if he is "sardonic" like u say then he wouldnt be sarcastic if he was calling them charlatans</p>
<p>What was the answer to the one with the number of books during WWI over fiction titles</p>
<p>its either charlatan or sardonic it cant be both of them</p>
<p>he doesn't have to be sarcastic about everything he says...</p>
<p>plus he didn't SAY charlatan, it asks what's implied</p>
<p>Starport, I put something about how easily it shows people can be pursuaded.</p>
<p>I think the questionn was like what would the author of passage 2 say about the number of books during WWI over ficition titles. Right?</p>
<p>Why can't it be both? He implies that they are charlatans using sardonic language with the whole stock market thing etc.</p>
<p>Yes I got the same answer bobob and opqpop</p>
<p>opqop thats the right answer to another question like gaping
the volume of books present in WWI just shows the interest people i think
some1 help us out</p>
