<p>I chose dogmatic, because the guy was humanistic and dogmatic I’ve usually seen associated with religion. Polemical was my first choice but it comes from polemos (war), which didn’t seem as direct a contrast.</p>
<p>zkaplove17 – Self-satisfied, dogmatic, and more space. Ask if you’d like an explanation. :)</p>
<p>Polemical is what I put , darn…</p>
<p>what’s the flower pattern question? And I chose that same pessimism option. That guy was determined that ecotourists would kill the environment</p>
<p>“Polemical” works (actually, I didn’t know what it meant until I looked it up after seeing people bring it up here after the test!), but “acknowledge” doesn’t, because it was something like “… but she couldn’t ___________ this with his ___________ political views…”</p>
<p>So reconcile and dogmatic works better, because dogmatic signifies that he is strongly devoted to those views, i.e. not open minded like he had been described as earlier (additionally, his political views could go against open-mindedness). So she can’t reconcile the two seemingly contradicting aspects of his personality.</p>

<p>Got the same answers as you. Not completely sure on the self-satisfied, but it’s the best fitting. Dogmatic and reconcile seem to be the obvious answer. More space i’m almost 100% because the passage never explicitly mentions that she disliked the design of her grandmother’s paper.</p>
<p>Guys, it doesn’t matter if you’re right or wrong; it only matters that you had fun!</p>
<p>i got self-satisfied.
PLEASE CAN WE END THIS DEBATE ALREADY?
UNLESS SOMEONE HAS PARENTS OR RELATIVES THAT WROTE THESE QUESTIONS (or that particular question), WE DON’T KNOW THE ANSWER(S).
please drop it ><
trust me, there’s like 30 pages of this thread focusing on this one question.
i’m not one to back away from a challenge, but i know excess when i see it.</p>
<p>^
Well, wrong answers are the difference between 2300 and 2400, so they do make a difference</p>
<p>ooh yeah it was more space, I remember the question. And I did have fun! well as much as is possible with the SAT lol. Besides this is only my first attempt.</p>
<p>classicgirll, self-satisfied is clearly more appropriate though, just because of the casual/almost-smug phrasing. Self conscientious would have said something like “I made sure that… so that…”</p>
<p>@interficio: i agree with you.
i don’t think it was conscientious at all - which is why the people who are trying to defend it are irritating me.</p>
<p>is there a list of compiled answers anywhere on this thread?</p>
<p>I thought reconcile…dogmatic and acknowledge…polemical were diffferent questions?</p>
<p>“Well, wrong answers are the difference between 2300 and 2400, so they do make a difference”</p>
<p>One question in one section won’t make the difference. Besides, the discussions on CC won’t help you accurately find your mistakes; there will always be those questions no one brings up.</p>
<p>The debate is more for soothing nerves and trying to seek out the correct answer that has been bothering you.</p>
<p>^
She made sure that the correct people and details are described</p>
<p>@all who said selfsatisified</p>
<p>I am now doubtful and would go 50% and 50% on either one. I really supported concientious(fail spelling) at first but I think there are cetainly multiple points in the area that prove she was being rather nonchalant. Kinda like eh, so easy, I just shrugged and did this stuff. She wasnt exactly taking pains to do something, she was not as deliberate as she was nonchalant.I don’t think she was as "happy with her self but it sure fit with two of the sentences. I think the question what was the authors ATTITUDE (if it was tone, then it might be different). </p>
<p>I am retreating from supporting conc… and really think self-satisified COULD work with reasonable proof (one of the main reasons I did not choose it)</p>
<p>I think on page 44 there is a compiled list of sentence completions.
If not on 44 then somewhere around there…</p>
<p>^ alright, thank you!</p>
<p>See post 511</p>
<p>IT asked for tone NOT ACTIONS. I now think its self-satisfied. </p>
<p>This is coming from someone who argued for conscientious at first. .</p>
<p>We can end that debate for now. </p>
<p>Can anyone guide us through the house questions . I was rushed at those and feel not as great
