<p>Number 6 is definitely polemical, since reconcile doesn’t fit into the sentence (from what I can remember)</p>
<p>Also what were the other choices for the historian?</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure it’s self satisfied because the girl is beginning to write for her own pleasure, not out of some altruism. It’s that she actually begins to enjoy writing–the answers to other questions clue you in on that. </p>
<p>Also, question about the chandelier one? I put apparent incongruity because it said that there was a nice looking chandelier–but then the narrator explains that it was actually from a catalogue?</p>
<p>at darkknight, yup i think all of those are correct</p>
<p>i am 100% sure it is reconcile/dogmatic. “she could not reconcile the fact that he is dogmatic WITH his …” you reconcile something with something else, not acknowledge something with something else</p>
<p>Sorry but polemical just does not work. </p>
<p>Think about it this way</p>
<p>Openness and Other Good stuff cannot be <em>reconciled</em> with the fact that he dogmatically supports some weird/bad political views.</p>
<p>for the sesame street passage, was the answer idyllic?</p>
<p>@ Alta, yes the consensus is Idyllic.</p>
<p>@ Wavegate, I’m also pretty sure that it is dogmatic.</p>
<p>What was the other word for polemical again?></p>
<p>anyone get a passage about CUISINE AND FOOD?!</p>
<p>What was the vocab one where it was something like "The castle was built to _____ him but it ended up ____ his reputation? was it glorify…tarnish?</p>
<p>I went through a lot of the pages and saw some discussion about the grandmother-granddaughter passage. People kept saying stuff about “cramped her style,” but no one seemed to remember that she specifically talked about the ink running through the paper and her grandmother saying “oh well, we’ll only need one side” (or something to that effect). THAT is why she switched to different paper. She eventually needed more room.</p>

Can some one refresh my memory on the mirrors revoke one? I forget what i put.</p>
<p>Yea Casey, I thought that one was pretty straightforward, but I think some people misread it/over analyzed it.</p>
<p>Ray, are you an international test taker? Because that’s the first I’ve heard of that…</p>
<p>Also, I still don’t understand why people think the answer to the Sesame Street one was idyllic. I picked the glamorize answer…and I still feel pretty certain that I was right :/</p>
<p>@caseydeann</p>
<p>Yes. The paper was skimpy.</p>
<p>I disagree there, I felt very strongly that it was Idyllic.</p>
<p>In the middle of the story, it is evident that the author has become very distraught with grandmother’s lack of willingness to add excitement to her letters. Hampl finally decides to start adding in details for her, such as the weather, her brother’s involvement with sports (actually it would be her grandson), to the rising cost of a hamburger. This detail is very useful in an essay such as this one – thus helping the reader relate more to a character and making the story more engaging.</p>
<p>Also mirrors reflect the same values or something</p>
<p>No. Nowhere did it idealize city life. The way the author said No Schools to worry about would be the same as us saying : “It was great in “the middle of nowhere”. Just videogames and sports. No SAT’s. No “Grandmother writing questions to worry about” .”
I am not glamorizing the SAT. I’m reflecting current problems. It was a similar tone in the paragraph.</p>
<p>Then can you refresh me as to how her regular environment was? I recall that she admired how simple everything was on the show, and that’s why she used those certain adjectives to “glamorize” how her real life was. And I mean glamorize negatively.</p>
<p>Anybody know what the word polemical was paired up with, because when I was taking the test, I chose to go with it rather than reconcile/bombastic (when I clearly know what they all mean…)</p>
