<p>Well, I put overly simplistic because the second author elaborates more on the intricacies of the grandmother's mentality_and about other less farcical characteristics. Oh,well, I may be wrong again...</p>
<p>I dont think it was humorous, because it was asking what the author of passage two would think, based on what she wrote, not what you would think.</p>
<p>^ Yeah, it was, but then Author two described Arabella's grandma oppsite of what Arabella described her, and plus Author two knew Arabella was naive and stupid and childish, so that's why i thought that Author Two would fine Arabella's view of the grandma as humorous.</p>
<p>to me it seems like if he thought Arabella was naive and stupid and childish then he would think she was Overly Simplistic or w.e</p>
<p>But Author 2 was kind of criticizing Arabella..so if he'd see something Arabella said ..he'd think it's funny.
I didn't think it was overly simplistic because I just didn't think that Author 2 would have such a point of view, but that's me.
It seems like this forum is divided half n half. haha</p>

<p>Which is why I chose "humorous". I assumed that Author 2 would find it funny, not me.</p>
<p>This thread is getting really confusing now. I can see why "overly simplistic" would work, but I'd need to reread the question, and none of us can, right now.</p>
<p>I don't recall Arabella's views ever being in the question, either, just what Author 2 thought of Author 1's description.</p>
<p>If I recall correctly, the choice was not "humorous" but "intentionally comical". And the question asked what the author of Passage 2 would think: there is no evidence to show that Author 2 would say: Oh, that's funny, I see that Author 1 used dragon and crotchety on purpose. But based on his own description of Arbella and grandmother as opposite personalities, there is evidence to say he would think: Dragon and crotchety is too simple. It is actually much more complex than that.</p>
<p>Anyway, I think "overly simplistic" is the answer.</p>
<p>ahh. I'm not sure anymore.
Well it's either simplistic or humorous.</p>
<p>i put overly simplistic b/c the 1st passage criticizes arabella's grandma but passage 2 goes into more detail on the differences between the two women...</p>
<p>humorous also sounds like a good answer, but i didn't find anything to support that author 2 would find it to be funny</p>
<p>^ It's not what YOU find funny, it's if the author found it funny that a hypocritical person like Arabella would say that.</p>
<p>On the animal sounds passage it talked about how dogs, guinea pigs, and another animal all made low rough sounds and then asked what do these lines imply...was it that animals of different kinds make the same noises for similar reasons? something to that effect at least?</p>
<p>what did u guys put for the one in the shopping passage that said</p>
<p>"Which of these situations most closely resembles the shoppers mentality?"</p>
<p>One of the choices was a guy redesigning a team uniform that he does not like</p>
<p>Another one was a guy buying an SUV</p>
<p>I don't remember the other choices</p>
<p>I put the answer about the guy buying the SUV.</p>
<p>What did you guys put for the mountaineering question in the identifying errors section?</p>
<p>im pretty sure that the answer overly simplistic for the grandma question, it just makes sense.</p>
<p>^ I still think its humorous. lol
I can see how it can be overly simplistic, but i still think its humorous. lol</p>
<p>thevidrohi-- can you be more specific on the mountaineering question?</p>
<p>"was it that animals of different kinds make the same noises for similar reasons?"</p>
<p>that's what i put
the animal sounds passage was extremely long and dense...i kept spacing out when i was reading it and almost ran out of time</p>
<p>for the shopping one...was one of the answers author one criticizes a pasttime that is endorsed by author two or something</p>
<p>^ the answer to which question?
I thought the sounds one was decent. Some of the questions were ehh.</p>
<p>I don't remember the question's beginning, but I know that it ended with something like "such explorers including", and it went on to list a bunch of different explorers.</p>
<p>ohhh
it was such explorers AS
because it's such as not such including.. i think that's what so i chose including.</p>
