i wasnt sure about conversational bc none of the passages asked questions to the reader or used terms like “you”
tru the second one was more informal but i dont think it reached conversational
really not sure tho
anyone remember what the other answer choices were</p>
<p>@uvaatw: So far it’s between arrest/something and lament/something I think. I put arrest</p>
<p>are we sure that the dancer one was responding to physical stimuli the same way as extroverts? i thought it was that they both had a strong sense of group identity</p>
<p>@danger567</p>
<p>dogmatic has a negative connotation</p>
<p>@holaamiga</p>
<p>the passage was about how people reacted to pain. which is why physical stimuli is correct. extroverts and ballerina react to physical stimuli better than introverts/students</p>
<p>@Rennir arrest/preserve makes the most sense</p>
<p>I tried to read through this entire thread, but gets longer faster than I can read it.</p>
<p>Hopefully the compiled list will come around.
For the girl writing the letters for her grandma, one of the popular choices was “misunderstandings of the purpose of writing,” which doesn’t make sense to me because I never felt like I understand why the Grandma wanted to write letters to her sister or why the narrator was writing for her.
And since she said in the beginning, “My first commission was to write letters for my grandma blah blah blah,” it seems to be the best choice.</p>
<p>Also, broadcast is distributed widely because the passage explained that there was one bone at one relative’s house, and another bone from the same fossil in another relative’s house, etc</p>
<p>Sorry if these answers have already been established.</p>

<p>@dancer: your argument is not valid, because dogmatic IS negative word, in that it has a negative connotation. give me a valid argument before you say that I’m wrong, okay?</p>
<p>@holaamiga: Yeah that’s what I got too because I thought that extroverts were social.</p>
<p>Was the answer The Brain was not involved in pain or was it </p>
<p>The pain was felt automatically?</p>
<p>Also what was the resolute question in Tribulation?</p>
<p>@ Rennir</p>
<p>I narrowed that one down to those two, and I guessed that too</p>
<p>none of the answers was conscientious.
that question asked what the TONE of the granddaughter was – in that paragraph, the tone was definitely self-satisfied… it was ACTIONS that were conscientious. but the tone was self-satisfied, self-satisfied what she had written in place of her g-ma.</p>
<p>For the love question, why wasn’t the answer to create an appropriate ending/closure?</p>
<p>Was the psychology one mental set or manipulative behavior? </p>
<p>also what was not used in newtonian effecT? astronomy, mathjematican, nuclear physics?</p>
<p>What was the one about the soup?</p>
<p>Was it substantiate??</p>

<p>-Other short passages:
Idyllic – sesame street
“fancy schools” and “apartment buildings to get into” reveal about the author’s attitude
Facing issues now
- Pain:
What was the purpose of the passage? using modern research for an old idea
Why using bell phrase: reinstate a comparison
Based off Lines whatever through whatever, what does descartes theory of pain state? purely physical reaction to bodily injury</p>
<p>What would supporter of the 2nd theory, gate theory (not Descartes) say to the end questions? Was it new devices haven’t been developed so they can’t find the problems OR stressing? I said new devices since it’s the supporters of the 2nd theory. They could NOT answer why the brain feels pain with stimulus, so they are not going to say stressing.
- Environmental:
Conducted – preformed
author of passage 2 would respond to the author of passage 1? evidence for a need of education - Paige - Lying about age guy
birth certificate and the bible? supporting evidence
What would the author of Passage 1 respond to the Satchel Paige’s claim “I did nothing to stop it.”
I put like he contributed to the stories
unnecessarily trivial
conversational</p>
<ul>
<li>Ceeve girl and house
What was “resolute” about the Tribulations passages? She was so sure or something/determination?</li>
</ul>
<p>What did the example of the chandelier in Tribulation serve to do?
example of recurrent phenomenon</p>
<p>What did the Ceeve family believe the purpose of memories was?
Palatial
protect cherished beliefs</p>
<ul>
<li>Girl writing for G-ma
Why did the grandma learn to write love?
I put to contribute more directly to letter
“and i was off to the races” indicate?
b) the narrator enthusiastically went to work
depicting the formative stage of the development of the writer
self- satisfied (definitely, she was glad of taking over her g-ma’s live not conscientious: characterized by extreme care and great effort) she said she breezily took over
What was the purpose of the parenthesis (it talked about Californians and hockey)</li>
<li>to show the writer catering to her audience
used “8 1/2 by 11” paper?"</li>
</ul>
<p>Needed more space.
Resignation – it was not resolve. The question asked for the whole sentence, which included she then signed. (or was it two sentences?)</p>
<p>the thickening soup one? i think i put adding details</p>
<p>can someone confirm my answers?
yep adding details</p>
<p>The Tribulations passage was killer…</p>
<p>-I put reconcile/dogmatic.
-I put conscientious. Didn’t it even ask that, based on lines **, how can the GRANDMA be portrayed, and not the granddaughter?
-For the painter/beauty question, I put arrest and preserve. The sentence said that ALTHOUGH the painter recognized the evanescence of beauty (it comes and goes), in some of her paintings she arrested (froze) beauty, and preserved it for posterity (future generations to see).
-For that question about the Sesame Street and how it was idyllic (was that experimental?), I actually put that the “apartment buildings” were the difference between the past and the present. The other choices didn’t really make sense, but this one was justified by how it said “Today” at the very beginning of the passage, as opposed to the present which was plagued by the not-idyllic urban burdens?
-Conversational style in the first paragraph of the autobiography
-For the baseball one, I put “universally appealing” for the guessing game. While at first I had competitive, there was no indication that the newspapers were trying to compete amongst each other; rather, they were jubilantly trying to find his real age.
-Birth certificate and Bible were clear evidence for each of the argument - they had dates written in them.
-For the goat/irony question, I put the choice that had something to do with playfulness/fun (don’t remember the wording)
-Resignation for the grandma question. She signed and gave up, and just decided to write “God bless you” after trying to think of a better way to change her coarse remark “Not like you in California”.
-The first paragraph of the grandma was like a business transaction - she got hired. The employee’s (child’s) fee was cookies and milk.
-Grandma wanted to learn to write “Love” to have a more direct impact on her letter.
-For 8 1/2" paper, I put she didn’t like the floral design. Nothing in the passage suggested that the original paper was too small; only that it was floral and very thin, and “cramped [her] style” (colloquially means that the girl was too cool for this grandma flowery paper). 8 1/2" paper is just used to depict a normal plain paper without any aesthetic, floral designs.
-deleterious
-eschew (the logic made sense if you read it right)
-“performed” instead of “conducted” for the ecotourism
-Also for ecotourism, I put that the first passage emphasized the destructive effects/damage. It literally took up like two sentences, and was the PRIMARY focus of the first page. The second passage just mentioned that it’s bad briefly, but more so said how ecotourism is advantageous and they just need education.
-“evidence for a need for education”</p>
<p>====
-I put “ineffable” for one of the questions, although I didn’t know what “indelible” was. Stupid mistake.</p>
<p>Was the one about the house experimental? And the one about the guy who kept getting lost?</p>
<p>I may be wrong for some of these.</p>
<p>Oh, and for the Descartes one, I didn’t put “novelty”. I put “incomprehensible logic” because to me it didn’t seem to make sense that the bell could somehow prevent its own ringing by sending a signal back to prevent pain after it knew that it was to receive pain… It wasn’t novelty because this was in the mid-20th century (I could be overanalyzing)</p>
