Official Dec Test (CR-Shakespeare, Autobiography-brother Dennis)

<p>Can anyone recall any problems from Shakespear? Cuz i’m pretty sure about that pair passage, except one or two. I’m still insisting that the one about Indeed is little known-fact about Shakespear. The previous response says it’s concede to a point that author 2 doesn’t agree. But the sentence says Indeed Shakespear’s knowledge is varied. And then the author said about others claim that Shakespeear is not a soldier, lawyer, but the author refutes by saying it was all available in the book.</p>

<p>i got 4 ne too</p>

<p>al;skdjf alskd </p>

<p>i think im screwed</p>

<p>college, stop "panic"ing.. you’re still a junior.</p>

<p>Andrea - there was no answer choice that worked with pure “unlike lions”
That’s why I went with “whereas lions live in groups, tigers are…” Its parallel isnt it? Live vs. are, both verbs, the nouns agree.</p>

<p>how much can i get wrong if i want a 700</p>

<p>In the 10th section (writing), #7:</p>

<p>Which of these was the right answer.
The reason that … was that…
The reason that…resulted from…</p>

<p>excuse me keeaaanne ^^, but im a SAT first timer</p>

<p>so <em>panic</em>ing is natural</p>

<p>Snowman - I think it was conceding, because he agrees that Shakespeare had lots of knowledge, only it was superficial and acquired from books. Indeed is usually a word used in agreement, so hes agreeing with something from Passage 1, but thats about the only thing he agrees with. Idk, I would think that lots of people know Shakespeare was smart…its just a question of is the author really shakespeare.</p>

<p>To Echelon:</p>

<p>The definition of irony according to Merriam-Webster is:</p>

<p>“[an] incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result”</p>

<p>From what I understood in the passage, the governess didn’t apply herself in school and wasn’t too much in favor of going back and teaching what she didn’t bother to master as a student. Moreover, her teaching quality didn’t improve after bouncing from family to family; however, a part of the reason she kept being bounced around can also be attributable to her attractiveness toward men.</p>

<p>The choice that I believe is correct is the one that said something along the lines of: “Most people improve their performance after acquiring experience.”
This is in line with the definition of irony because

  1. the normal or expected result is improvement after experience
  2. the actual result was the opposite [no improvement], and hence the irony.</p>

<p>I believe the choice that says: “Governess is supposed to teach, not learn from students” is incorrect because of the following.</p>

<p>The statement above would be ironic if the end result was the opposite of what is supposed to happen:

  1. What is expected to happen: students learn from governesses
  2. What would have to happen in the passage for the answer choice to demonstrate irony: governess learns from students (the opposite, converse)
    However, this does NOT happen. The governess does NOT learn from the students. She doesn’t really learn anything.</p>

<p>The really confusing this is that the choice: “Governess is supposed to teach, not learn from students” is incorrect because of the following" is half right. If the opposite result of the governess learning from the students ACTUALLY HAPPENED in the passage, then it would be correct. But it didn’t, and hence it must be eliminated.</p>

<p>The reason that … was that… it is.</p>

<p>echelon, i think i picked a choice that had unlike lions, who live in prides, or groups, tigers live in blah blah blah. was that one of the choices? i know i was thinking there was an illogical comparison issue with that question.</p>

<p>shakespeare questions that i can remember:</p>

<p>conception</p>

<p>what is the purpose of passage 2: refutes argument.</p>

<p>why is the logic in passage one flawed.</p>

<p>what would NOT be a qualification for passage one. i put writing dramas but i also thought it could be military service.</p>

<p>Also, one of the question with regard to Shakespeare was: "What would most discret the argument of Passage 1 (which cited Otto von Bismarck and said that the author of these works had a knowledge that could not be attained as a commoner).
I’m guessing a lot of you guys narrowed it down to:

  1. Many playwrights were actually a part of the aristocracy.
  2. People often read books about the aristocracy.</p>

<p>Choice 1 is irrelevant because even if it was true, it wouldn’t apply to Shakespeare. It’s known for certain that Shakespeare was a commoner, so even if playwrights were members of the aristocracy, it doesn’t apply to Shakespeare.</p>

<p>llewis 999 - The reason macbeth kills the king is that…
Triviadude - if this is the case, that question was probably an H lol, or maybe not, but to me the most obvious, though probably incorrect, is the one that I put. You could go into irony in the situation (which is where your main argument lies) or irony in the “statement” — she expects to learn, but that expectation is not in line with the true “expectation,” that governesses are only there to teach.</p>

<p>This is a really tricky question, and I can see why my answer would be wrong.</p>

<p>abuot very short sound wave - no error
process for analyzing blood - no error</p>

<p>unlike the pride of the lion, tigers blah blah (i figured it was wrong to compare tigers to a pride of lions so I went with: whereas lions live in pride, tigers live by themselves (sounds better imo, but i think im wrong)</p>

<p>martha thinking about not taking illness lightly was (and hoping something something because the sentence started out with understanding).</p>

<p>anyone know how to cancel scores?</p>

<p>can someone tell me all the answers please</p>

<p>andreaa - It was illogical comparison, but i dont remember an unlike answer that worked…maybe i missed it.</p>

<p>Conception was misguided
Yes on refute
Flawed because he assumes that the tests will give identity
I put military service, since his work was actually writing dramas</p>

<p>Triviadude - yes with books on aristocracy.</p>

<p>EDIT: I think the Marta one was “YET” hoping because, the original answer choice had “and”, but the other 4 had “yet”. That would introduce the conflict between taking it lightly, because you are taking something lightly when you think it can be cured easily…</p>

<p>i think i picked number 2, triviadude.</p>
