<p>stanford.. i don't recall that answer.. maybe ur talking about the 2nd communication one? i'm talking abou the one in which you had to contrast the two different implication of the word communication on line 53 and 70? something like that..</p>
<p>so altruist, did you put oracle also since you believe they are real?</p>
<p>no we're not talking about the physicist passage... the tone was wi****l for that one.. we're talking about the other passage... short passage i think?</p>
<p>somebody clarify which passage... can't exactly recall..</p>
<p>god, that historian dual passage was ****ING TOUGH! I'm guessing that's not the experimental?</p>
<p>i second sardonic...the narrator seemed to be definitely mocking them when he said why they waste their time on their hotlines</p>
<p>Some people boast of having a sixth sense, professing to know or see things that others cannot. Fortune-tellers, mind readers, and mystics top the list of those who lay claim to these mysterious powers. In so doing, they elicit widespread fascination in others, especially book publishers and television producers. The questionable field of parapsychology is founded on the belief that at least some people actually possess this talent. To me, the biggest mystery of all is why so many fortune-tellers choose to work the phones on TV psychic hotlines instead of becoming insanely wealthy futures traders on Wall Street.</p>
<p>I don't believe they're real, but what I believe didn't matter. I picked oracle, because the author seemingly believed.</p>
<p>...How'd you get that, chinnu?</p>
<p>wow chinnu.... haha yeah that was the passage... that sounds sardonic to me...</p>
<p>i still think its sardonic. and charlatan.</p>
<p>thanks chinnu...more proof that it's sardonic:</p>
<p>read that sentence beginning with "the questionable field"...you don't get mocking from that?</p>
<p>andrea, i agree with you.. sardonic and charlatan</p>
<p>He says it's questionable, in the same way that religion is questionable. For that matter, the nature of reality is questionable. He never explicitly said that he himself disbelieved.</p>

<p>high five. i hope we are right.</p>
<p>"The questionable field of parapsychology is founded on the belief that at least some people actually possess this talent"</p>
<p>That's limited disbelief.</p>
<p>What about the tone? He didn't seem to be on the way to labeling anyone a charlatan.</p>
<p>I put oracle and sardonic. </p>
<p>Is oracle right?</p>
<p>If you chose oracle, it wouldn't make sense to also choose sardonic.</p>
<p>ok some questions....</p>
<p>benefits of history/ importance of history</p>
<p>tribunal (answer was objective) any1 remember any other choices?</p>
<p>reliability of historians/ affect on past and present</p>
<p>reference to more WWII books than fiction?</p>
<p>what is -10 total on this test u think?</p>
<p>Aunt Sylvie passage</p>
<p>When we did come home Sylvie would certainly be home, too, enjoying the evening, for so she described her habit of sitting in the dark. Evening was her special time of day. She gave the word three syllables, and indeed I think she liked it so well for its tendency to smooth, to soften. She seemed to dislike the disequilibrium of counterpoising a roomful of light against a worldful of darkness. Sylvie in a house was more or less like a mermaid in a ship's cabin. She preferred it sunk in the very element it was meant to exclude.</p>
<p>Double meaning-enjoying the evening, for so she described her habit of sitting in the dark.</p>
<p>Outdoors=indoors-She preferred it sunk in the very element it was meant to exclude.</p>
<p>hey the SAT master..can you give me the exact wording of the question?</p>
