<p>Hopelessness sounds really good</p>
<p>and thoughtful prudence. i think thats right.</p>
<p>the passage said that seti was a stab in the dark because SPACE is sooo VAST...HOWEVER, they DO have hope...thats why they want funding...it is clearly vastness, hopeless goes against the belief that seti should exist...and the narrator was clearly pro-seti...</p>
<p>First off, the article was from a magazine, therefore meaning that any bias is unlikely. Secondly, I first thought that it was vastness, but after looking at the question more closely, the question asked (paraphrasing it) what does the phrase "a stap in the dark" give a sense of? So it's not complete hoplessness, it's somewhat a very low chanced guess. The passage then said, that it would take decades of radio transmission before anything was found, implying chance. Vastness of the project implies a great task, I hardly believe sending and receiving radio waves is a "vast task".</p>
<p>g(x) can't have = 1/m- b/m; i put g(x) = mx-b....but then again, that seems too easy to be the answer to the last question...also did anyone have a passage about the genders of different words (fork, spoon, knife, etc.)</p>
<p>no...it means the project (finding aliens) is a vast task...</p>
<p>Actually, I also said g(x) = 1/mx-b/m solarz...</p>
<p>hopeless ~ impossible
vast ~ very difficult
stab in the dark ~ very difficult </p>
<p>therefore, answer ~ vast</p>
<p>why would you put 1/mx-b/m; it looked like the slope was greater than 1</p>
<p>No that was the slope of the original line--the line whose equation you were trying to find had a fractional slope.</p>
<p>hopelessness is an expression. ppl say omg its hopeless..which means it prob won't help. it means despair. and the task is only relied on chance so its not any 'vast' task dat require some skills</p>
<p>solarz, I had the gender passage...do you remember any of the questions/answers?</p>
<p>For the hopeless/vast task question, I put that it was a vast task because, like zening said, this was from a magazine and the author was unbiased. Saying that the task was hopeless would make it seem like the author was against SETI projects. On the other hand, implying that the task was vast and very difficult would produce a tone of indifference, a tone that would be unbiased.</p>
<p>As for the thoughtful prudence one, I'm probably wrong but I still don't see why it's thoughtful prudence over unconditional trust. I didn't like that question at all.</p>
<p>its because the question asked what the guy who made the example thought. if he was so trusting, he would not have made that example</p>
<p>Verbal civil rights passage:
**the reader views her father as a __________?[b/]</p>
<p>the gender of random things passage was the experimental; astronaut jargon and the chinese girl counted</p>
<p>caricature....for the civil rights thing</p>
