<p>Does anyone remember their sentence completion answers in the CR vocabulary? It’d be helpful if you could give the sentence it was in (of course, not the exact sentence :P)</p>
<p>i remember </p>
<p>vituperative
indifferent (students during the vietnam era or something)</p>
<p>Yeah, I got the vituperative one wrong, I’m convinced. </p>
<p>I remember three words from one question about students who used calculators all their lives and saw a test saying they couldn’t. They found this test to be ______</p>
<p>I narrowed it down to:</p>
<p>anachronistic
prescient (I think)
erudite</p>
<p>Erudite, I later found out, is no where near correct so I’m glad I eliminated it. I was left with . . . </p>
<p>anachronstic, prescient</p>
<p>I’m very unsure, but I chose prescient. A common meaning is 'far-sighted, but another meaning is ‘ominous’. The key detail in the sentence is that these kids had been using calculators all thier lives, and now they couldn’t. I leaned towards anachronistic, but I chose prescient as I didn’t think anachronistic fit well enough (it isn’t really out of proper chronological placement in any way . . . but I’m not 100% sure). Comments?</p>
<p>almost 100% sure it’s anachronistic and here’s why:</p>
<p>anachronistic means out of place in relations to time, we’ve est. that</p>
<p>students have been using calcs all their lives</p>
<p>this test says they cannots use calcs</p>
<p>this test is out of place, out of date</p>
<p>no, it doesn’t fit completely, but the test only asks for the best answer. i dont’ see how it could be prescient…how is the fact that they can’t use calculators ominous? I mean, if you twist it enough it could be considered ominous, but i don’t think CB expects you to twist it that much…</p>
<p>I see what you’re saying, but I think it’s somewhat of a twist to say anachronistic because I can’t really see the relation between using calculators all one’s life, and then being told not to as far as chronology goes. I’m actually leaning toward your answer more because I have doubts, but I’m still straddling the fence a bit.</p>
<p>I guess anachrnostic might make more sense–I just have trouble seeing how something that even acknowledges calculators exist is out of chronological order–or even out of place. I’m trying to figure out whether ‘prescient’ fits less . . . . hmm. I’m still about 50-50 in what I think, but I’d bet you’re right, though.</p>
<p>true, the fact that it acknowledge the existence of calculators is somewhat telling…but i think the CB was trying to point out the fact that since students are so used to calculators, it’s ANACHRONISTIC that a test should tell them not to use calculators.</p>
<p>see what i mean?</p>
<p>Somewhat. I think you’re probably right, regardless, just because your answer is more probable.</p>
<p>I remember putting down those words Vituperative and Anachronistic down as answers.</p>
<p>I also remember putting down ‘straightforward’ in a sentence about a road… and ‘dilatory’ about some the destruction about a law or something.</p>
<p>I know for sure that straightforward and dilatory are correct. From what I’ve heard, vituperative is also correct. I’m unsure, but I’m more convinced that anachronistic is correct.</p>
<p>Do you remember what the vocab was for the experimental section?</p>
<p>Murasaki the two words I narrowed it down too on the calculator question were Unequivocal and Anachronistic. After looking up unequivocal I’m pretty positive that the answer is Anachronistic. (many ppl I know agree too)</p>
<p>What were some of the wrong answers for the dilatory question?</p>
<p>the correct answer was dilatory…forestalled (I believe)
the only answer that I was thinking about was an answer with Thwarted.</p>
<p>Was thwarted an answer on the “dilatory” sentence or a different sentence?</p>
<p>Same sentence.</p>
<p>Yeah, it wad definately dilatory and forestalled.</p>
<p>What was the match with thwarted? Thanks, I still cannot remember what I put.</p>
<p>I remember i got something with facilitate…</p>
<p>I believe it was unpremediated… thwarted (wrong answer) but that was the complete choice… can’t believe I missed that one. :(</p>
