<p>Iunno, we’ll have to wait or get an unbiased reader who didn’t take the test.</p>
<p>“Even at ten I was appalled by the minimalism of these letters. They enraged me. “Is that all you have to say?” I would ask her, a nasty edge to my voice.”</p>
<p>2 paragraphs before the self-satisfied one. When she takes her grandmothers view, it suggests that she is doing it for her own benefit, not being “conscientious” of others.</p>
<p>And it also shows (although i am aware that evidence is minimal) that they have a misunderstanding of the purpose of the letters, for the only reason that the granddaughter wrote the letters is that the grandma was illiterate, not for her to make the most interesting letter possible</p>
<p>Please tell me this is logical (i can only hope)?..</p>
<p>okay so…</p>
<p>for the self-satisfied vs wary vs conscientious: its only for that when passage mentioned in the previous page. I know self-satisfied is most likely the correct answer (i put wary), there is at least some evidence of her concern to not be discovered. She was careful/cautious by writing as if she were her grandma. Of course, there is substantial evidence that she didn’t really care and did it for her own benefit.</p>
<p>as for your second argument, im afraid it isn’t really strong. she herself wanted the letter to be interesting, whilst her grandmother engaged in letters that were characterized more by brevity.</p>
<p>idk though, i just want scores to come so i’ll know my fate. (whether im retaking this damn test again or not 
)</p>
<p>we need the turtle to read it. he is unbiased. someone needs to pm him.</p>
<p>^
His pm box is full</p>
<p>does anyone remember the experimental passage for critical reading? I know mine was critical reading but I can’t seem to remember it!</p>
<p>me neither. was it the 23 question one?</p>
<p>mine was on crickets, but not many people got that one. </p>
<p>i think there was a 25q, a 23q, and a 19q; which adds to 67</p>
<p>i had Tribulations, Baseball Age, Grandmother Writing Letters, and Pain; so which ones of those did you have? because i didn’t have crickets.</p>
<p>all of those are non experimental</p>
<p>^none of those which wang listed were experimental.</p>
<p>okay…well this is weird…because i had 4 critical reading sections…and i have no clue what the experimental was…</p>
<p>^^ i cant either.</p>
<p>The experimental had the passage about the girl who was surprised to know that women could read and write. (She found a paper on the road that had a written acount of a woman’s travels.)</p>
<p>^ Yeah I never had that one.</p>

<p>well clearly we all are using very different dictionaries.</p>
<p>That’s exactly why I put conscientious.</p>
<p>we wont be able to decide this…
on google, this is the first one for self-satisfied:
having or showing a complacent satisfaction with oneself, one’s own actions, behaviour, etc.
2 paragraphs before:
“Even at ten I was appalled by the minimalism of these letters. They enraged me. “Is that all you have to say?” I would ask her, a nasty edge to my voice.”
----she was satisfied that she could “departed from my own life without a regret and breezily inhabited my grandmother’s” in order to make the letters longer</p>
<p>for the misunderstanding vs. growth question</p>
<p>where is it proven that the author grew?</p>
<p>Okay I can’t remember, but people here are saying that the question asked for the tone. Conscientious can’t be described as a tone, can it?</p>
