<p>I thought the phrase was like “the government’s decision to _____ the rigid laws would require people to follow them”</p>
<p>I guess it’s -1 in cr for me now, i wrote that it was his quest for limited fame</p>
<p>It was not people to follow them. It was would allow people dispose waste sloppily</p>
<p>Was letter A relax?</p>
<p>I think it was d. I’m not sure though.</p>
<p>Yujin- It was (E) ‘sincere’… I marked that. At that time it thought it meant regular readers of Japanese Literature… :(</p>
<p>I put relax for the relax/codify question. I just googled the definition for codify and it doesn’t really seem to fit the context of that sentence.</p>
<p>I want to hit a consensus on that question which was: </p>
<ul>
<li>acknowledge a contrary view </li>
<li>expand the scope of the claim</li>
</ul>
<p>I jumped directly on “acknowledge a contrary view” . It’s kind of hard to explain but tet me try :</p>
<p>The word claim really fits in well in the parenthesis statement "people belive they do (most believe they don’t) " . It does expand the scope broadly. Perhaps acknowledging a contrary view would fit in if the sentence was structured in this way : "most people believe they do (a few/some believe they don’t) ".On the contrary though, the sentence itself is not a claim. It more of a statistical information what critics/viewers/readers/whatever( I forgot :D) think about manga and anime. So the author pretty much acknowledges that most of the people don’t support the opinion. It’s not a CLAIM. It’s a fact.So the sentence isn’t broadening a claim, it’s broadening a scope of an acknowledgement. Because you can’t claim that someone likes cheeseburgers if he doesn’t .</p>
<p>For those who got three 25 min CR sections, do you know which one was the experimental? And do you remember what the reading passages in that section were about?</p>
<p>Yes, that was certainly acknowledging the argument sth…do you guys remember
the dolphins passage? …what did you get for those questions?</p>
<p>I chose expand scope of the claim… can somebody remind me what the question said?</p>
<p>I believe that some animes (some may argue most) it asked for the function of the parenthetical statement</p>
<p>If it’s "I believe " then it’s the scope of the claim one. I don’t remember how was the sentence writen.</p>
<p>That’s -1 for me. Damn ;/</p>
<p>I feel that it could go either way. But intuitively to me, it seems like he is acknowledging a contrary view point as opposed to expanding the scope of the claim.</p>
<p>I believed it was expand the scope as well.</p>
<p>I went with ‘expand the scope of a claim.’ and I am 100% sure. Do you guys really think that by stating the word (most) in parenthetical statements was acknowledging a contrary view? No, because that was his OWN view. It was his own statement, yet he complemented it with a parenthetical statement (Some would argue ‘most’), since he had said ‘some.’ It’s definitely to expand the scope, not acknowledge a contrary view, because both views are the same and not contradictory whatsoever.</p>
<p>I’m at -4 to -5 for Crit, hopefully it stays that way. This thread started off with some questions about “Square pyramid comparison”… I don’t recall any questions of that sort with options 60, 240 etc. Anyone care to clarify?</p>
<p>Also, the answer to the question was Doctor A right? Doctor A had the most number of patients per hour?</p>
<p>^coldflame… check my math thread…
