<p>Thanks, babe (Princeton0845).</p>
<p>It is, WITHOUT a doubt, UNDERSTABLE! The author was showing that the "scholars" HAD a reason to be angry. Newman (or whoever the guy was that was translating) had "incorrect" translations, so the scholars did indeed have a point. The fact that he made different translations doesn't make the scholars' anger an INEVABILITY. It simply goes to show that though ludicrous, the scholars did have a point. There is truly no debate.</p>
<p>Dickens Passage.. I put, for the first answer, somethig to the effect of " her writings were the first lash against the British system" and the second answer was that "Dickens attack on England were even more bold than that other lady" lol. I think I am right.</p>
<p>rosh, you are correct. on all of your answers.</p>
<p>I am hungry.. hmm.. I need to know which of my CR passage was experimental.. but I cant remember which I had..</p>
<p>I think I put "bold" too. And I think I put "understandable" too. These questions are so subjective...</p>
<p>So far, I think I have -3 Math, -4 maybe 5 CR and -1 Writing. We'll see in 3 weeks.</p>
<p>Yeah...Dickens was more bold since in the passage it said although her criticisms would seem trivial (or around the lines of it-I cant remember the phrasing exactly) she was the first of her time to rebel against society.</p>
<p>Edit: Thanks, skier09. Yeah...so timorous means timid, which shows that even though, when compared to those of Dickens, her criticisms seem weak, they set an example for later social critics (who were bolder because of her).</p>
<p>I think the phrasing was that she would have seemed more timorous compared to Dickens.</p>
<p>So, does anyone want to explain the "revere the author" question. I asked before and could not find the explanation...sorry to bother people though. </p>
<p>Also jtop has been asking about the halt/cease question, and I don't remember it to answer him, but I'm sure he would appreciate it if someone does.</p>
<p>i think the "revere the author" question was POE.

<p>ASIAN PASSAGE</p>
<p>1)Passage was about personal account
2)Real Asian- authentic
3)When they saw asian on TV- excitement
4)List of vital signs of Asian- thorough and systematic. I chose thorough and systematic because the parents went through the same features of the Asian each time the spotted one (systematic) and talked about every possible feature (thorough). It was not innocent or amusing b/c that was not the spirit in which the parents made the comments. It was not bewildering; never in the passage is it implied that the list of vital signs was too much to handle and bewildering has nothing to do with passionate.
5)She found their comparisons- irritating
6)The Asian actresses- unlikely to fool the panelists
7)Somehow they all picked me- unsurprised at the panelist’s decision
8)Pre-videocassette- technological innovation made experience more common</p>
<p>wait for the pre-video cassette.. which sentences pointed to the fact that it was technological innovation.. blah blah thanks.. I'm not sure which answer I put down but I do remember one sentence that I read near when the words were used was something like "During the pre-video cassette times, it was startling to see yourself on television.. or something like that</p>
<p>I'm having a thought: Wasn't there a sentence completion with "vestigial" as the answer? I'm pretty sure there were two blanks...</p>
<p>that was the correct answer: vestigial</p>
<p>and stoic was an anwer too</p>
<p>Anyone remember the other choices to the "Unlikely to fool the panelists" question? How about the question where the girl is Unsurprised?</p>
<p>Stoic wasn't the right answer...</p>
<p>can anyone explain to me what was the halt/cease question about? my friends dont remember either.</p>
<p>How is the answer to the the Asian actresses unlikely to fool the panelists? Can anybody please explain it to me..</p>
<p>was there a sentence completion with tedious?</p>
<p>yeah, that was the answer for the class that put students to sleep</p>
<p>what did you guys think about the last section that had a passage about crops? I remeber I struggled a lot with one of the questions that asked about "seed bank"? What was the correct answer to that?</p>
<p>Wait speaking of which, which section was experimental? I had</p>
<p>1 section: something about asian
2 section: bioluminence
3 section: I remember there were two passages(about Homer) and you had to contrast them?
4th section(this was 20 minutes long) was about crops I believe... So which one was it?</p>
