<p>WHAT DID THE MARS AND VENUS PASSAGE discuss?</p>
<p>The mars and Venus one was experimental. Also, what were the other choices for insufficiently skeptical and reluctantly optimistic question</p>
<p>In my opinion you will be hard pressed for another 800 because it never talks about them being useful even at the beginning. It says that there are 4 things that predate classes. He never speaks of usefulness. NEVER, and I know because I scanned the lines for that answer because those were the two I was thinking of.</p>
<p>I got “similar abilities in other apes”.</p>
<p>Divy, that may be so, but only one of the passages mentioned the benefits of peer review. On the other hand, it can be inferred that because the first passage only talked about creative writing development early on, classes are still useful but not necessary.</p>
<p>Kingshrey… Yes, I am aware of that, but I cannot remember if it was the first or the second section of the critical reading sections? The first one was much harder for me and I was just hoping that was the experimental one.</p>
<p>Divy, it explicitly stated in the last sentence something along the lines of “nonetheless, getting a degree is also good” or something like that, thus implying he thought of the classes as something useful. However he doesn’t think it is essential because he says people were creative writers long before then</p>
<p>Does anyone think that “major scientific implications” is WAAAAY too vague as an answer? What does that even mean? That answer means nothing to me…</p>
<p>THANK YOU, agree with airplanes and divy 100%</p>
<p>They said that all scientist agreed on humans being a lot more intelligent than apes. Therefore, smart ape = major scientific changes</p>
<p>Anyone know the answer to the question in the Greek section about homer? Two of the answer choices were proposed and utilized??</p>

<p>No, the first passage NEVER stated that getting a degree was good, in fact, it implied quite the opposite. It said that certain things help make a good writer and none of them are involved in a creative writing class. The only thing mentioned by both passages was the usefulness of peer reviews</p>
<p>I agree with flickor completely.</p>
<p>P.S. all of you are really smart. Do any of you do any debate clubs or model UN or YAG?</p>
<p>You’re making that up. He never ever said that. Specifically he said none of these gets a degree. I wish we could find the excerpt for this passage.</p>
<p>@ Flickor, </p>
<p>I would hardly categorize the discovery of a smart ape a major scientific change. And regardless, the paragraph revolved around the idea that Kanzi may not be the only talented creature in his species.</p>
<p>Kingshrey… Yes, I am aware of that, but I cannot remember if it was the first or the second section of the critical reading sections? The first one was much harder for me and I was just hoping that was the experimental one.</p>
<p>Perhaps, your memory is flawed. It did say that in the last sentence, it stated that college classes were good do. The whole passage was basically saying creative writing classes were okay but creative writers have been existing long before that. Perhaps you were confused with the face that they both included peer reviews but that wasn’t the major part of passage one.</p>
<p>@King</p>
<p>I can assure you that nowhere in the passage did he say that classes were okay. The final sentence went something along the lines of “These four things help to create a good writer and THEY DO NOT imply a creative writing degree.” I read this several times because I was stuck between my answer and yours. And yes, peer editing was a minor portion of the passage, but nevertheless, it was the only common denominator.</p>
<p>I guess we’ll find out on October 26 then ;)</p>
<p>Besides the answer you chose said something along the lines that the value peer editing greatly, that’s way too extreme of an answer</p>
