<p>who still thinks its snobbishness...just because it said he was an elitist.</p>
<p>i put snobbishness because of the elitest reference, but merudh has a good point..</p>
<p>i think it's snobbishness...the reference the question pointed out included ELITIST which means he was a snob</p>
<p>wait wasnt the graph one A?? It was like 1200/400</p>

No, I put the factories/polluting air thing. But I narrowed it down to that an the volcano one...

<p>Why that one? I thought the black holes and star formation were opposites, one destroying life (kinda) and the other giving life, sort of like birth and death. The same with fishing. Overfishing kills marine animals and growth of aquatic animals represents birth.</p>
<p>Sounds like it could work either way. But judging from the context from which you are to determine (without the knowledge of the history of cynicism) I think it was snobbishness.</p>
<p>anyone remember the millions of farms graph question?</p>
<p>It's snobbiness. You're not supposed to read between the lines., and although answers aren't usually reiterated verbatim, they are sometimes paraphrased, and snobbishness was synonymous with elitism.</p>
<p>"cynicism: a cynical feeling of distrust, Cynicism was originally the philosophy of a group of ancient Greeks, The belief that the worse about people or the outcome of events."</p>
<p>uhh... I don't understand this defenition.</p>
<p>For me, basically cynical = everything is lowly/nothing is worth much; snobbish: certain people are high-class & worthy, but most ppl are just "populace" (i.e. unworthy)...</p>
<p>it's most definitely volcano for that one</p>
<p>goldfish, i put fishing, but i guess we're wrong, HHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHHAHHAH --->sad laugh</p>
<p>i said snobbishness too. the other ones didnt quite make sense.a nd he wasnt cynical, esp. since the passage said "elitist"</p>
<p>thrills4ever, the answer was 2 (1600/800)</p>
<p>I don't see how the blackholes and star formation had any reference to opposites. It simply said something like the "activity of black holes are intertwined with star formations" which means it had a direct effect (as someone pointed out).</p>
<p>Snobbishness. He was an elitist and therefore did not condone public entertainment for the "common people". BTW, "drawn" meant "attracted", right? It's also in the Plato passage.</p>
<p>@mkevb1</p>
<p>the answer to the millions graph was that the # of farms DID NOT go down every year.</p>
<p>@thrills4ever</p>
<p>the answer was E because school B had the greatest lead over school A.</p>
<p>@goldfish</p>
<p>2 wasn't even an answer...the answer choices were all years.</p>
<p>I put volcano simply because of the end of the sentence ("on another continent" --> resembles "further out in space"...)</p>
<p>The 1st graph was 3:2, the second 4:3, the third and fourth not close, the fifth was 2:1</p>
<p>yes, drawn is attracted to</p>
<p>the star one was volcanoe. What they emant was one phenomenon having FAR-REACHING consequences. The fact that the volcanoe was one one continent and the fgact that the rain thingy happened on anotehr fits the picture.</p>
