<p>What did everyone get for the doctor question on the critical reading? They were asking what purpose of the doctor example in the last paragraph served.</p>
<p>an example of a different mindset</p>
<p>shut up about THAT question</p>
<p>Why...because you know you're wrong?</p>
<p>HEY! Just stop the arguement between you two.</p>
<p>IT's done.</p>
<p>For the doctor question, I chose the answer that said, "It identified with the author's unpleasant (or some word like that) situation". My answer could be wrong, though, like, for example, if I missed something in the passage.</p>
<p>Oh, and for the writing question, I chose "as is commonly believed".</p>
<p>IT didn't say unpleasant..it said unique...I'm still not sure about that noe.</p>
<p>is that the question that asks what the example of the doctor was used for? if it is, i was wondering which answer was more correct: the one saying that the passage was used to support a previous statement or as an example of a mindset.</p>
<p>kirby, I think I put the "support a previous statement" or identified with "the author's unique situation." Was that the same answer?</p>
<p>I remember now. I put supported a previous statement, because the author's situation wouldn't be unique if doctors shared it.</p>
<p>okay, so "the unique situation" answer was different than the "support previous statement" one then? but what about between "gave an example of the mindset" vs. "previous statement"?</p>
<p>Maybe there was an answer that said, "support a previous statement by identifying with the author's situation". If there wasn't, then I believe that the answer that I chose was "support a previous statement".</p>
<p>I'm kind of confused. I don't recall that the answer said "identify with the author's UNIQUE situation". I really do think that it used a word similar to unpleasant, but if so many people say that it said unique then I guess I'm wrong.</p>
<p>I don't remember an answer choice w/ "previous statement". </p>
<p>The quote was an "example of a different mindset", I'm sure. It's not a very good answer, but I remember it was the best one.</p>
<p>it wasn't specifically "previous statement" but i remember something that had basically meant that. i don't really remember the choices that clearly. i guess we'll just have to wait.</p>
<p>It wasn't supporting a previous statement...it was an example of everything he had already said, and therefore, it was an example of a particular mindset. It wasn't supporting a previous statement unless he had previously said "Doctors are people who also share this problem of mine" which was never said.</p>
<p>well the captain's main point was how he had lost his appreciation for the beauty of the river and gained a rigid professional attention to detail for his job. in the passage the captain said that he pitied doctors b/c their professionalism was marked with everybody, not just with a single river. so it would back up his point about professionalism making one lose a love for beauty.</p>
<p>but i also see your point in that it provided an example for a mindset. but an example of the mindset that the captain was pushing for would be his own anecdote about the river, not the doctor's b/c the capt. wouldn't have any real knowledge about the doctor's actual mindset. the capt. is just speculating and uses his speculation to support his previous point i think. also i don't think it has to be explicitly stated for a point to be made; it can be implied. maybe in this case... but i'm still sorta confused cuz i had some other debates with myself on this question.</p>
<p>Well put, kirbywamu. That is the reasoning which I had used when choosing an answer.</p>
<p>That was my reasoning also.</p>
