<p>I honestly thought CR was hard this time around.</p>
<p>Check an unabridged dictionary, it totally fits</p>
<p>@iemit737 topic was one of the choices and topic also means subject</p>
<p>i put agent because the bee was the subject, so it was controlling the garden</p>
<p>It was most definitely agent</p>
<p>The one about the bees is agent, because the bee is the subject, not the object. </p>
<p>Here is the 2nd definition of agent from my MAC dictionary:</p>
<p>“a person or thing that takes an active role or produces a specified effect”</p>
<p>I am nearly certain it is agent. In context, agent is the best answer. The passage had just referred to humans as subjects, i.e. the “doers”, of the garden and agriculture in general. The analogy is comparing the humans to the bees. In this situation, the bee is something that is doing the action, aka the agent of the action.</p>
<p>I want some clarification on the melancholy or strategy question. Anybody have any idea with a reasonable justification?</p>
<p>Emotional, intellectual, actual, and heartfelt were all options. The parents’ intentions were pure, because they had their children in mind, so the best option was heartfelt</p>
<p>i get how agent works, because they’re saying that the bee is the SUBJECT. i get that. but topic also means subject. can someone explain how agent is a better choice than topic</p>
<p>I am 100% sure the answer is agent, and here is why. In the paragraph above, he explains another situation in which the human is the subject, and the plant is the object. He then goes on to say that maybe bees contribute too; they act as subjects as well to the plants. In the context of the passage, it is agent, or one who brings change.</p>
<p>isn’t topic as in the subject of conversation? i never thought of it in this context</p>

<p>I think it was melancholy because the indian girl realized how much time had separated her from her mother. I think they were talking about something with weight, which was obviously a sensitive subject to the girl, but the mother simply brushed her aside and told her to finish eating. Although her mother knows her in some ways, she does not truly understand her in the way she wanted, and expresses melancholy when she makes that statement</p>
<p>He also talks about the situation being “grammatically” correct or not. The paragraph is in the context of grammar. Topic is a “runner up”. Agent and recipient are super grammatically connotated words.</p>
<p>for the last question of the indian girl one did you guys get joyous?</p>
<p>what did you guys put for the one in the gardener passage about how he felt in the 3rd paragraph? the options were like overcome with joy, revelation, idk</p>
<p>@joshmo - Hopeful
@roshdaddy - Revelation is what I put</p>
<p>I said he reached a revelation.</p>
<p>What was the answer for the purpose of the gardening passage? was it thereaupatic effect or reexamine relationship between humans and plants.</p>
<p>I put relationship.
What about the question about applying a concept to a new context or to provide historical context. </p>
<p>I remember another question being like “presents an additional argument” or supports earlier claims or something.</p>
