<p>It is Sterne, he had a quote in passage 1 that says he supports companionship. the author of passage 1 says that the quote by Sterne is quite beautifully written, but she can't agree.</p>
<p>I remember there were two questions that asked who would most likely support the statement from each passage. </p>
<p>My two answers were:
Stern, and someone whose name starts with an H (Haugway???, but not Hemingway)...</p>
<p>i think it's Maugway</p>
<p>Yeah, my answers for those 2 questions were Sterne and Maugway. Does anyone want to confirm this?</p>
<p>It was confusing but here goes: The first question asked who would most likely agree with the author of passage one. As we all agree the author of passage one wanted to travel alone except when he/she was eating in a town with provincial charm. So the answer was Fleming who we meet in Passage two. Fleming is the one who traveled with a nonstop talker to China and now is not so sure that was a good idea.
W. Somerset Maugham is the character mentioned whose name begins with an M.</p>
<p>I took everyone's posts into account and here's the updated list. I don't know where Maugham (or was it Haugway) comes in b/c Sterne and Fleming seem to be the right answers. Also doublecheck the genius questions. Numbers 2 and 3 may be describing the same question.
The astronaut passage question list should be longer. Anyone remember any other questions from there?</p>
<p>PUFFIN PARAGRAPH
1. The simile implies oceans are critical to the planet
2. Puffins are ENDEARING</p>
<p>BILINGUAL CALLIGRAPHER
1. Punishment - something difficult to master
2. Daughter's job is most similar to the editor of a publishing house
3. Both mother and daughter often get frustrated with each other
4. List of different jobs depicts the variety of the mother's work
5. Mother's description of how to write shows that she emphasizes HARMONY
6. In the description of how mother lectured during lessons, the word 'stuffing' in the sentence on how she stuffed her daughter's head full of lessons most nearly means CRAMMING
7. The word "unsophisticated" most nearly means UNCOMPLICATED
8. The situation most nearly similar to that of the athlete practicing his moves because his behavioral pattern is that of a muscian or someone practicing his work</p>
<p>MINI-PAIR: GENIUS
1. The purpose of the opening sentences in Passage 1 is that they provided a context for the discussion
2. Author of Passage 2 uses a word that the Author of Passage 1 would challenge
3. Author of Passage 1 would consider the description of the person's friend to be OVERSTATED
4. The author of Passage 1 lamented the lack of geniuses and if he thought the way the author of passage 2 did then geniuses would be everywhere. </p>
<p>EFFECTS OF ENVIRONMENT ON BEHAVIOR: PSYCHOLOGICAL ECOLOGY
1. Purpose of the first paragraph - a generalized thesis which is then supported
2. Most similar to "going thru" - going thru driving test maneuvers
3. Paying a professional decorator to find a better spot for a sofa - unfortunate response to a behavioral phenomenon
4. Dark side - lose flexibility in thinking
5. Wild idea - unconventional

9. Passage is a thoughtful examination of a phenomenon
10. Adults were able to compensate for visual distortion because they were more experienced than children</p>
<p>PAIRED PASSAGE: TRAVELING ALONE
1. PARADOX - "I am never less alone than when I am alone"
2. Sterne would most likely support the idea of traveling with a companion
3. Fleming would support the author of Passage 1 in that traveling alone is better
4. Description of different routines illustrates the PETTY differences between two people
5. Description implies PROVINCIAL CHARM
6. What Hemingway TOOK from his road trip with Fitzgerald...what he GLEANED
7. Last paragraph of Passage 1 acknowledges that there is an exception to the rule stated above
8. Hemingway's quote "Never travel with anyone you don't love" implied that Fitzgerald did something that annoyed Hemingway
9. The shy person liked to travel because he got to meet new people.</p>
<p>ASTRONAUTS
1. Description of Inuit language shows relationship between language and thought. I believe this was the question saying Inuit had like ten words for "snow" but one for "tree" and a simple translation of any of the ten into "snow" would cause the original thought to be lost in translation.
2. Author implies that there is more jargon than efficient communication (there's exclusivity)
3. Description of astronaut jargon as "foreign language" shows that most laypersons would find it needlessly complicated
4. Different languages use the same words in different manner
5. Space jargon developed as a response to an unprecedented situation</p>
<p>for the astronauts, wasn't there a question about how does the author view the development of jargon?
I thought the answer was unnecessary development</p>
<p>and why is the answer "gleaned?"</p>
<p>You may be talking about question 5 on the list above that asked why space jargon developed. The answer was it developed as a response to an unprecedented situation (the situation being space travel).</p>
<p>After Hemingway's trip with Fitzgerald he said "Never travel with anyone you don't love". So he learned that he shouldnt go on trips with people he doesnt like. He GLEANED this information from his trip. The question itself quotes the word TOOK in the passage and asks what does it most nearly mean.</p>
<p>u guys r wrong about genius number 4. he wasn't lamenting at all but mad at how the term was used. i remember he contended that true geniuses were exceptional like darwin and freud but p2 said said an exceptional genius can occur in everyday life like his friend. p2 didn't say everywhere. he said geniuses were few and far and between. it was like the last sentence of the passage.</p>
<p>I think genius number 2 is the question regarding the use of the word genius. What I tried to convey with number 4 was that if people like the friend of the author of p2 were considered geniuses, then author of p1 would say that they were everywhere.
Unfortunately I don't know the exact question so I can't say for sure if that was an answer.</p>
<p>Finally - here is one more sentence completion: People CONFORM to gain approval and avoid being REJECTED!
Stantonia would you be able to add the master list of Sentence Completions (See Post 184) to the master list of Critical Reading questions to form a comprehensive list. I believe that this is one of the best lists ever compiled on CC!!!</p>
<p>Stantonia - don't forget to add the blockbuster movie paragraph to the list. The agreed upon answers were:
1. Cornerstone means fundamental element
2. Author was DERISIVE</p>
<ol>
<li>ENTHRALLED - loved to read</li>
<li>RETICENT - (Thurgood Marshall was forthright in public but reticent in private)</li>
<li>IMPECUNIOUS .. AFFLUENT (neither poor or wealthy)</li>
<li>CHAGRIN</li>
<li>ENDEMIC (wildlife in Australia or New Zealand)</li>
<li>EBULLIENCE .. PESSIMISM (group has to rethink their policies because their initial ebullience gave way to pessimism)</li>
<li>AMALGAM .. COIN (author combined two names to coin a new name)</li>
<li>PROPONENT (a champion)</li>
<li>EXTEMPORIZE (about monarch butterflies)</li>
<li>COMPLICITY .. EXONERATED (evidence connected person to crime so he/she could not be exonerated)</li>
<li>TEPID - little enthusiasm</li>
<li>PERSPECTIVES .. ANONYMITY (artist's strange perspectives lead to anonymous figures)</li>
<li>HAMPERED (interpretation of data hampered)</li>
<li>SEDENTARY (children were confined)</li>
<li>TRANQUIL (quiet reading room)</li>
<li>People CONFORM to gain approval and avoid being REJECTED</li>

<p>We have a total of 56 answers here, there are 67 questions</p>
<p>i may be wrong, but i think in the astronaut passage, like the second question was about CAPCOM or something and how it is now a word today, and the q had something to do with that part of the passage..has this already been addressed in a q, does anyone remember this?</p>
<p>I think I remember something about CAPCOM too but i don't remember the question. There are 9 questions we don't have. 3 of them are sentence completions since there are 19 on each test (at least in the blue book). The other 6 should come from the paired passage and astronauts sicne paired passages have around 12 questions and regular passages have at least 6 questions.</p>
<p>Looking at Hunnybunny's list, I've missed roughly 11 questions....yuck...and I skipped like 6. What does that equate to approximately....600?</p>
<p>Correction:
7. The word "unsophisticated" most nearly means UNCOMPLICATED</p>
<p>I believe the original word was "simple."</p>
<p>Hmm, one more thing. This might not have been the correct answer, but I remember there was an answer for an SC, I believe, that was "finagle" or "finagler." Was this to the one about the woman who was enthralled by books? Hmm...</p>
<p>Sorry but I don't remember "finagle" at all. Was watching a really silly dance show on tv when I suddenly remembered a question! Two dancers were
DETERMINED to MASTER Latin American dance steps. </p>
<p>And an experiment did not produce DECISIVE results, the results were only of NOMINAL importance. (Now recall this one because i was looking for marginal as the second answer).</p>
<p>We are now 18 of 19!!</p>
<p>The last paired passage question asked about the role of the Sterne and Fleming references. The answer was that both provided a contrast to initial statements. So as we have already noted, Sterne wanted to have a companion while Fleming was not so optimistic about having travel companions.</p>
