<p>no, i think it was a passage question about tone. I have a question about that one smaller passage about puerto rican writers. I put that the author did not approve or something, but I thought the answer choices made no sense. What did you guys put?</p>
<p>what are u talking about. i dont remember anything about indians.</p>
<p>What did the: </p>
<p>“child being dragged out of the room crying”</p>
<p>signify</p>
<p>anyone get OVERSTATEMENT or was itsymbolic meaning</p>
<p>I remember inthemoney! The question was so freaking hard. I think I put D but I didn’t really like that answer.</p>
<p>it was one of the last questions in the governess passage</p>
<p>it was overstatement because the statement was like</p>
<p>“she will acquire fame power and wealth” </p>
<p>just from doing magic tricks? i dont think so</p>
<p>and besides the last paragraph said that they were old obvious tricks and the kids were pretending to be surprised out of courtesy</p>
<p>Yes, overstatement. puerto ricans i said like joining conflicting something-or-others? I don’t remember. </p>
<p>Was the one with internet entrepreneurs an experimental section?</p>
<p>can anyone remember a vocab answer as something as </p>
<p>conjectural…reconsider</p>
<p>yes that was the answer collegepanic</p>
<p>^ yea i had conjectural/reconsider</p>
<p>dew tell us all ur answers u seem to be correct lol..</p>
<p>i think the answer to the wealth,fame,power…</p>
<p>was symbolic meaning</p>
<p>collegepanic, I think that was right. It was conjectural and then reconsider, something about evidence.</p>
<p>alright who wants to start making a cumulative list</p>
<p>what about the passage on crazy scientific theories? Why were both things he stated, about inanimate objects and faster than light speed wrong?</p>
<p>any chances the Shakespeare passage will be the experimental sention ???
-___________-</p>
<p>i would keane but i just remember bits of pieces, just ask the questions and ill probably remember what i put</p>
<p>anyone remember what they put for the last two governess questions?</p>
<p>Critical Reading
- Mini-Pair on the Internet Bubble (internet and internet + british railroad)
. Compared to Passage 2, Passage 1’s tone is glib.
. Both authors agree that internet companies lost investments
. The “entrepreneurs” = “would-be millionaires” of second passage</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Dennis
. Paragraph with just Dennis’s name = evocative
. Dennis’s large, oblong shadow = represents awe??? - I can see why dismay would work, but they compared it directly to the Lincoln Memorial, surely they like Lincoln…
. Keeping war from family = not involve family in social activism
. Mommy’s repetition of Dennis’s name = exaggerated regard
. Rooster running around + Mom yelling = riotous moment
. Zoo/circus house = show the excitement within it</p></li>
<li><p>Governess
. Point of final paragraph is to show immediate effects of her new magic tricks
. Point of kid running out of room screaming = show extent of how children want to fool the adults
. Suitcase symbolizes her unsettled life
. Edward’s initial reaction = typical of most young guys to her
. Coyness = pretend to entertain Edward’s request to get what she wants
. Hard (the new life) = onerous
. Description of her lack of mastery of sums etc. = she didn’t apply herself at school
. Grating hinge = she was trying to sneak out
. Life as governess = result of her need to support herself financially
. Irony = Governess is supposed to teach, not learn from students
. “Freedom from bondage, wealth, power, fame” = overstatement</p></li>
<li><p>Shakespeare Two Passages
. “Indeed” = concede a point of an argument that Passage 2’s author disagrees with
. Author 1’s “conception” of the tests are misguided? or idealistic.</p></li>
<li><p>Puerto Rican writers paragraph
. Author = reject the widespread practice as inappropriate (the practice of separating into English and Spanish journals, eclipsing their unity) The other feasible choice was the coinciding two conflicting views, but I thought it was clear that bringing them together > separation in the author’s view, especially with his word choice of “eclipse” in the final sentence.</p></li>
<li><p>Astrophotography paragraph
. Photography = act of self-expression
. Putting a person in the picture also = suggest an approach</p></li>
<li><p>Scientific Theories
. Author is “something receptive” of theories?
. “Easy” theories = easily tested and observed
. Author in last paragraph = resignation over inability to predict which theories will be right</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Sentence Completions
- INNOCUOUS
- Medieval artists perceived the iniquity in the world = IMMERSED in sin
- Diffident???
- _____…REDRESS
- TEMPER the optimism of marketers
- CONJECTURAL evidence is ok to contest, but if strong evidence, critics should RECONSIDER.</p>
<p>Writing
Which one was not experimental (I had a “dad and son, stove, self-reliance” and “motown” paragraph corrections)?
Either way, I put 4 no errors for each…
“Dad and son” was hard…I have a few questions on that one.</p>
<p>Math
. abs(x) - abs(y) = 10, x-y is none of the above (must be +, must be less than 100, could be zero)
. Circle centered at (0,0) and point (a,b) = all of the above, radius can be either a, b, or root (a^2 + b^2)</p>
<p>did u get penetrating or obdurate for the meanign of HARD</p>
