<p>It’s definitely not a 1/1,000,000 chance of seeing what the explorer saw, or at least it wasn’t worded that way. I think the answer was that it was .0000001% as wonderful as when he saw it.</p>
<p>For these sentence completion:</p>
<p>Sentence Completions:</p>
<p>7) defile (what were the other answer choices here?)
8) sneered…hodgepodge or ….reprise
11) sonorous
13) exotic- was this correct???</p>
<p>Does anyone remember ANY of the other answer choices?</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure it was decry and not defile. The others are correct (sneered…hodgepodge is the right choice, too).
The 1/1,000,000 one is that it’s proportional to the amount of people who saw the canyon or whatever (the one-in-a-million chance implies that someone could actually see what the first discoverer saw, which the passage said was impossible today).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don’t remember “defile” and “exotic” as answers.</p>
<p>For sonorous, the answer choices were staccato, cacophonous, and two others… but sonorous was 100% correct.</p>
<p>Yeah I didn’t mean to put down the sonorous one, that is correct.</p>
<p>I think I missed the decry/defile one, anyone remember the question?</p>
<p>Also, does anyone remember a question about a sister talking about how her brother used to be ____ but recently he has surprised her and turned ____.</p>
<p>I was down to capricious (couldn’t remember the definition well) and eccentric (I know that is incorrect after googling capricious after the test) or meticulous and something else and put down meticulous and something else.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure the behavioral science one (number 3 on the very bottom of futball1991’s list) is “used irony to highlight the profoundness of a situation”. Flippancy means to be casual or disrespectful, to not to someone seriously. In the story, the writer wrote about saying “Good Boy” to your child after they did something right, and how the most appropriate response to that would be to “woof”. While this could mean that he was taking the argument in a casual light, I think the image as a whole is more meant to show how ridiculous it would sound if when you verbally rewarded your child if they gave a response “appropriate” for the compliment.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The answer was effusive–reticent. (E I believe).</p>
<p>I agree with effusive…reticent.</p>
<p>Gah, I remember looking at that answer for a bit too. Thanks.</p>
<p>Okay. I recede my statement about reprise. (I was mistaken about the definition of reprise.) I still don’t think hodgepodge was the best answer. I think mishmash was the better answer.</p>
<p>Also, I think #4 on the grand canyon section of futball1991’s list was something about getting 1 millionth the value of what the explorer saw, not a one and million chance. Anyone want to validate?</p>
<p>Nope, I was down to hodgepodge and mishmash but the first word of mishmash was i believe denied which did not make sense due to the NOTHING which was in fact in the sentence. I also confirm effusive reticent.</p>
<p>The existence of “nothing” is unclear. I am 100% sure “nothing” was not part of the sentence. But w/e. We’ll find out…</p>
<p>wasn’t the work “little More than a” not “nothing more than a”</p>
<p>Let’s consolidate the CR answers:</p>
<p>Sentence Completions:
- staple
- ingrate
- immersed
- implicit 5) doctoring…altruism
- panache (swagger)
- decry (what were the other answer choices here?)
- sneered…hodgepodge 9) inert
- sonorous
- soporific
- exotic- was this correct???
- effusive…reticent</p>
<p>Are those correct for this version of the test?</p>
<p>Then here are some CR answers:</p>
<p>Physics Passage:</p>
<p>1) subtle or commonplace?
2) for “research shows that even a college physics student blah blah blah”? surprised or predictable ?</p>
<p>Dolphin Passage:</p>
<p>1) Overstated?//?I think the question was like how would the author of passage one feel to the statement of dehumanizing by the author of passage 2
2) What did author 2 and the people in passage 1 of the dolphin passage agree with? It was either a) people strive for self improvement or b) people take an active role in shaping their destinies or c) something like “people respond badly to the incentive thing” </p>
<p>Behavior Passage:</p>
<p>1) tone was vexed or enraged
2) “used irony to highlight the profoundness of a situation”. </p>
<p>Japanese Calligraphy:</p>
<p>1) impromptu
2) mindset of character
3) he had new responsibilities and no time</p>
<p>Grand Canyon passage:</p>
<p>1) the million who saw it had a one in 1 million chance to see what the explorer saw, OR getting 1 millionth the value of what the explorer saw
2) for the question comparing a situation to the Bostonian man’s reaction to the grand canyon? did anyone say a CD that sounds different than a concert?
3) it was that tourists won’t see the same value of the canyon as the Spanish explorer cause most tourists have an idea of what the grand canyon is. So they don’t see the same value in the canyon as the explorer.</p>
<p>Inventions Passage:</p>
<p>Not sure which passage this was:</p>
<p>1) There was this one short passage about some guy who was complaining and one of the questions was what the tone of the other person was. I think appreciative was the answer; anyone remember if that’s right? Yes it is! I put appreciative!
2) What did you put for #1 on same passage? (the contrasting question) I put traditional & modern</p>
<p>random answers that I dont know which passage they go with:</p>
<p>1) present an analogy but then retract it for another view
2) wrong but inherently plausible
5) disappointed
6) surprised
10) drone (this is wrong, don’t remember what is correct)</p>
<p>The sentence completion didn’t have a decry. It did, however, have a defray. it went like
the scientist(or whatever) _____ the boss (or whatever) to grant a fund to ______</p>
<p>the first blank was either inspire or persuade but second blank is defray</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Are you sure? I don’t remember the problem at all. Did you have CR experimental?</p>
<p>I don’t remember that question either and I had experimental reading.</p>
<p>I did have an experimental section. Did you have one that was decry? because I don’t remember that.
Was the grand canyon the experimental section or no?</p>
<p>Grand canyon was not experimental. I don’t remember decry/defile/defray. (maybe decry…) I think they’re all from an experimental section.</p>
