<p>On the Asian passage, are you sure it was a personal account? I thought the rest of that answer talked about it being life changing which then makes the answer wrong. I thought it was the cultural development one ( see post #308). Anyway, I probably misread it! Any thoughts????</p>
<p>i remember one of the choices was - they had lot of professional experiences or something. i don't remember the rest..</p>
<p>i said it was the cultural development, too</p>
<p>guys, it was something like personal account on cultural development choice a) or something</p>
<p>the answer with developmental changes in English language</p>
<p>i thought it was something diff like modern lang can be as good as
the old one? do you guys think the curve for CR would be more/less
lenient than Nov/Dec test?</p>
<p>jtop, are you sure? I could have sworn they were two different answers.</p>
<p>I put the modern language/old language thing too, Kerri.</p>
<p>Kerrie/southeasttitan:</p>
<p>That's also what I've put. DEVELOPMENTAL LANGUAGE IS NOT THE CORRECT ANSWER. Scholars were like, yeah, modern language is equal or betta than da old language yo, so it was clearly about how competent the modern language was.</p>
<p>Cricketman1991: I am sorry, but the SC that you were talking about. The one that puts students to sleep because the professor's lecture was too dull.. The answer was Tedious not Stoic.</p>
<p>Stoic-impassive; characterized by a calm, austere fortitude befitting the Stoics: a stoical sufferer</p>
<p>Tedious- wordy so as to cause weariness or boredom, as a speaker or writer; prolix</p>
<p>Which do you think fits better? I think you know the answer.</p>
<p>The definitions were brought to you by <a href="http://www.dictionary.com%5B/url%5D">www.dictionary.com</a></p>
<p>Yeah, it was def. tedious. I am 110% sure.</p>
<p>kyun, if you had read my previous post, I said tedious was the answer.</p>
<p>i think stoic was the answer for the question about an authors writing was ________, contrary to her gentle disposition. or something. one other choice was strident.</p>
<p>I don't even think stoic was a choice for the tedious question.</p>
<p>My apologies, Cricketman. But I have another sad news.. Stoic is not the answer for that question either.. strident is the right answer..</p>
<p>So ___, contrary to gentle disposition:</p>
<p>choice 1) stoic: impassive; characterized by a calm, austere fortitude befitting the Stoics: a stoical sufferer</p>
<p>choice 2) strident: having a shrill, irritating quality or character: a strident tone in his writings. </p>
<p>Opposite of gentle would not be characterized bya calm, austere fortitude... it would be characterized by having a shrill, irritating quality. I'm sorry..</p>
<p>I don't remember that question. What was the context?</p>
<p>It was a sentece completion problem. Cricketman wrote the context:</p>
<p>Authors writing was ________, contrary to her gentle disposition.</p>
<p>This was basically it.. I dont remember anything else though.</p>
<p>kyun90, I think you missed the point of the passage. I don't think it had to do with how competent the modern language is because it was comparing past words and present words and how they contrast with each other. Thus, it shows developmental change. It's not evaluating how great the modern language is now compared to that of the past; in fact, it talks little about language today except that direct translations of words yield misleading phrases. I don't know if I'm completely right, but that was my reasoning.</p>
<p>Okay, now I don't even remember what question we're talking about...? RememberMe, what context was it?</p>
<p>do you all remember the other 2 questions on the chimp passage? The 2 we have are: human impulses, and the danger is jumping to conclusions without checking data. can anyone remember the other 2?????? There were two more, right? was one maybe about watching the monkeys in the wild?</p>
<p>ok, kyun, I can agree with you there. I didn't know what strident meant, so i guessed stoic.</p>
<p>and one of the answers WAS perfunctory</p>
<p>Oh, shoot, I think I put perfunctory. :/ Meh.</p>
