The answer was definitely uniqueness. The entire passage is about how his daughter understands his "secret heart" and the uniqueness inside of him ie. being the only one to raise his hand when his teacher asks strange questions. He also states in the end that while eventually things pass through the sieve that he is okay with all aspects being known about him after he is gone, so he's not easily persuaded or anything
the author of passage 1 of the Kanzi ape section wrote "its not my intent to...blah blah". there was a question that asked what purpose did his sentences serve. doesnt anyone remember the answer? some choices were he revealed a bias, he admitted that his side might be unreasonable,..i cant rememberr
The one about what did hariet think about the pneumonia weather...that was serious threat right? And what was the question which you guys got an answer "take into account other scientists views"...do you remember any other choices?
@dangodango im 100% sure that the answer for that was somethig in the lines of "author admits he has intentionally tried to avoid the conclusion that apes were linguistic" or sth like that. He admits he was biased.
@bleach experimental
Did anyone remember the main idea or theme of the dinosaur passage question? Two answers i remember were: a report on a marketing strategy used on kids, and a note of a cultural change. Personally i choise the marketing strategy because the author talks about how he was affected by such marketing strategy (expectation of the dino study) and the issue of the yo yo (popular in 1951 but not in 1950). I did not find such change as cultural, but rather an effect of a marketing strategy
Does anyone know the answer to one of the last Yo Yo and her dada questions where the answers were like a) fatherly pride in her dedication or e) ... but reluctant to give away information. (I don't really remember that second one really well.
Also I'm positive of reluctantly optimistic because I looked back in the passage and saw the scholars being discussed described as 'hesitantly'
If reluctantly optimistic is the same answer choice with "skeptical" than optimistic isn't right. That last paragraph didn't speak of any optimism. I think the question for the yoyo passage was "proud of daughters attention to detail, but ambivalent about giving away info..." something similar can't really remember.
@meburi, he was not admitting a bias in those lines because he said his "intent was to not nitpick for reasons to disprove the theory" he said the facts were there. He was acknowledging a theory might be unreasonable (he was saying the evidence doesn't support the ape theory).
Insufficiently skeptical is definately the better answer compared to "reluctantly optimistic". I'm not going to give an argument on it, since it's already been done a hundred times, but I'm just saying I agree.
