<p>I thought resentment mean you didn’t like someone because they were better off. But, he isn’t better off, but more of an equal. That’s just how i understood it tho.</p>
<p>what question was hari was futile?</p>
<p>Disdain signifies looking down on someone as an inferior. Resentment is more like anger or hatred towards someone.
“The snobby aristocracy looked down on the peasants with disdain.”
“Kanye West resented Taylor Swift because she won the VMA for best music video while Beyonce did not.”
So the people at work wouldn’t look down on Hari. If they did, they would be thinking of him as a bad person, whether he was poor, evil, rude, or anything else bad. If they resented him, they would be jealous/angry/want revenge because Hari’s presence threatened their jobs.</p>
<p>i mean hari’s attempts were futile**
also, what was the spinner question?</p>
<p>It wasn’t futile. There was nothing in the passage that said that Hari attempted to advance himself. It may have been implied, but it was explicitly stated that Hari thought he had no prospects when the passage said that he didn’t think he would ever move [from his current standing]. So “prospects” is a better answer than “futile”</p>
<p>how is it that i have no recollection of the hari futile question at all. what attempts were futile? do you remember any of the other answer choices?</p>
<p>spinner question = 1/4</p>
<p>first spinner / second spinner possibilities
1 ---------- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
2 ---------- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6*
3 ---------- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5<em>, 6</em>
4 ---------- 1, 2, 3, 4<em>, 5</em>, 6*</p>
<ul>
<li>denotes that the sum is 8 or greater.</li>
</ul>
<p>6 that are greater that eight / 24 total possibilities
= 1/4 </p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>I remember the question but none of the other answer choices. I narrowed it down to futile and prospects- went with prospects because the passage never implied he tried to advance himself.</p>
<p>what was the one with hari where it was like “the usage of actually indicates hari’s”</p>
<p>i put incredulity…</p>
<p>Hari’s attempts to advance himself were futile. But nothing in the passage SAID that he was trying to advance himself. I don’t remember the others; I only remember those two because I was stumped.</p>
<p>What about the writing questions? I was seriously stuck on them.
-The birds who migrated to the island, “explanation of”
-The mendelian genetics, “it is”</p>
<p>SOOOO confused! If anyone has an answer, PLEASE back it up. I’m sick of people saying:
“A” “no, C” “A” “C” “I’m sure it’s A” “C”, this does not help anyone.</p>
<p>I chose futile since the blurb underneath said something about trying and trying and getting nowhere? </p>
<p>Not sure though.</p>
<p>@sd6 I said incredulity too, because he couldn’t believe that he was being given this opportunity (later in the passage he says that he couldn’t believe that he was being asked to be an apprentice)</p>
<p>@cucumber-- I said “it” was wrong since it was ambiguous </p>
<p>I don’t remember anything about migrating birds though?</p>
<p>“Actually” showed his incredulity. Since it talked so much about his disbelief that he advanced himself, I thought it was saying that he never really had high prospects for life. I’m pretty sure explanation of is fine…I can’t see them testing something so nitpicky…</p>
<p>I put explanation of is wrong as I think it is explanation for. I put it is is wrong as the it seems ambiguous</p>
<p>The birds (or some other animal) migrated to the island the same day every year, scientists don’t have AN EXPLANATION OF this phenomena (something along those sentence lines)</p>
<p>I couldn’t decide if “explanation of” should be “explanation for”. You typically hear “for”. But on the other hand, an “explanation of” would mean that the phenomena is being explained, which makes sense (compared to something weird like “explanation through” or “explanation among”)</p>
<p>im not sure about the incredulity thing because wasn’t he shocked or whatever it was that was similar to shocked?</p>
<p>there was a line at the end of the paragraph that showed he was shocked i just don’t remember the line.</p>
<p>for the hari one, it wasn’t futile, it was the one that said limitations of prospects in his life</p>
<p>Oh, that one! I remember being stuck on it too, but after a while, I resigned to putting NE… </p>
<p>I guess we shall see in December? Ugh.</p>
<p>I had limitations and incredulous</p>
