<p>i thinks it playful 2</p>
<p>It was callous thoughtlessness [Rigid thoughtlessness - the "never one to be taken for a fool" line implied such] It completely implied him as being serious to the death, while playful would have had him at least being mentioned as smiling or such.</p>
<p>Remember, textual evidence</p>
<p>yeah, the other answer choices didn't seem any better for the situation?...</p>
<p>in that same gardening section, there was a question where the narrator said "yes, charlie. rocks take a long time to dissolve in water," or something like that after charlie "dropped the pebble into the glass and pointedly observed that it wasn't disintegrating"</p>
<p>the question was like, what is the best description of what the narrator is doing? i was stuck between responding to a presumed challenge/acknowledging an ill-conceived notion. which is it?</p>
<p>I think presumed challenge because it makes it sound like she's anticipating him arguing back...</p>
<p>there was a math question, with z and such. Could z equal negative 3? I think thats what i said.
Was the answer "a" for the points on a line.</p>
<p>responding to a presumed challenge cogito</p>
<p>i put presumed challenge a swell</p>
<p>i put ill-conceived notion
it really didn't seem like playful skepticism, callous throughtlessness was right</p>
<p>presumed def</p>
<p>i put playfully skeptical, just because callous is a really loaded word and has a really negative connotation, but the narrator seems to be friends with charlie so that doesn't seem right. i would disagree with you there--playfully skeptical seems right to me.</p>
<p>anyone remember friendly but frustrated?</p>
<p>also in the gardening section, was the narrator acting like a teacher or a chemist in lines 31-59. I said teacher, but not entirely sure.</p>
<p>freindly frustrated is right def</p>
<p>teacher
frustrated</p>
<p>there was another question in that reading, with how does she regard charlie, was it something like friendly.. something?</p>
<p>i also put teacher.... how would he be a chemist?</p>
<p>However the narrator expressed extreme disdain towards Charlie, even though it was often exageratted. Playful skepticism couldn't be true because the narrator went on to say how Charlie was "ignorant" and etc.</p>
<p>the sent completion where he used the wooden clock as a........model</p>
<p>anyone remember last question about hte purpose of the passage.. was natural the answer?</p>
