<p>“Sympathtetic tone?”
I believe it was “impartial”</p>
<p>“The comparison between the last sentences of the paragraph was cautious vs stirring”
That is also what I put.</p>
<p>IB here too!</p>
<p>I think I’ll be lucky to even break 200…math went pretty easy, I should have like 70+ and hopefully same with CR. What worries me is the writing, since I didn’t finish everything and left some blank.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>How does “have been built” not make sense? The pyramids were built before being found, so the building of them has to be in the past of the past (sorry, I don’t know the official term for this tense).</p>
<p>What did the author mean when he said that we’re just molecules? THIS QUESTION. </p>
<p>Anyone remember the answer choices? I stared at this one for 5 min when i finished the rest.</p>
<p>but he understood why the humans were like that.</p>
<p>why is it impartial?</p>
<p>i need the answer choices!</p>
<p>I’m really hoping the Writing curve is -1 = 79 this time… imo it was harder than any other W section of past PSATs. But it should at least be -1 = 78.</p>
<p>Yeah that’s what some people told me afterwards, but I think I thought they were on a product or something and it wouldn’t make sense to number an item with a zero. I dunno. You guys are most likely right. </p>
<p>And yeah I’m in IB, or going to be next year. Only in IB HL Math right now. Speaking of which, I need to start on homework. QQ.</p>
<p>I said for molecules “to acknowledge that the idea was unappealing” or whatever that option was.</p>
<p>wait what is the impartial question?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I chose curtail.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I said that it was sympathetic. The author acts as if it’s OK that humans are quasi-narcissistic by saying, “Very human and very understandable.”</p>
<p>And I also put “cautious vs. stirring.”</p>
<p>I got the cautious vs. Stirring wrong. Then I got impartial and Curtail right I guess.</p>
<p>Ohhh I put sympathetic for that one!</p>
<p>why is it impartial?</p>
<p>If we’re talking about the mind passage here, the question was what was the tone of the author in the 3rd paragraph, when he talked about Descartes. Impartial means unbiased. He didn’t criticize Descartes. All the other answer choices were too extreme.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>YES. That’s what i went with :)</p>
<p>Also, he was sympathetic toward Socrates because his flip-flopping was only due to his human nature.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I chose “appealing but problematic.” While the idea is reassuring, one author bashes the idea (Passage 2, I think). Both authors agree that the idea (of mind being amazing) is appealing (people like feeling special) and that it’s problematic (because it’s probably wrong).</p>
<p>u kno the passage about the legal system, was one of the last questions, “court-appointed” something, forget?</p>
<p>I said sympathetic as well. Had it narrowed down to that/impartial, but saying flat-out that Descartes’ mistake is understandable/excusable strikes me as sympathetic.</p>
<p>^I thought that one was something about wrangling and procedure? I could be wrong though, probably am knowing my CR abilities.</p>
<p>but they both see it as reasonable to think that way.</p>
<p>do they both bash the idea?</p>
