<p>So is the answer for the double passage about the traveler is the extended metaphor, right??</p>
<p>Then how about the first question that was saying the difference between two passages? I remember some word about “purports to be” is included in that question</p>
<p>For the father artist one, which one was the answer which said whatever , and then assess those? Was it hypothesis? If so, that was the right answer because I clearly recall that the passage said. “Was it laziness and a love for pleasure? It couldn’t be that because Father did not become dissolute until his later years.” And then it asked another question but then self-refuted it. He is stating hypotheses and assessing them.</p>
<p>@john if you’re referring to the muir passage about like nature I’m pretty sure the answer was both passages are extended personal anecdotes?</p>
<p>Yes Mystic, for sure.</p>
<p>Why claim, why not interpretation? There was no claim aspect, nothing to dispute…
(and could u guys provide an explanation as well, instead of just saying it was definitely claim)
Also could you explain why it was diminish not capture</p>
<p>i was stuck on claim interpretation</p>
<p>i skipped it, answered the rest of the questions</p>
<p>i went back to it, and realized ‘claim’ made more sense based on the tone of the passage and questions that followed imo. That was my thinking, but for the life of me I’ve completely forgotten the question</p>
<p>@Mystic1996</p>
<p>Yeah the muir one. One about going to nature to feel some sensation and another was about the person who tries to feel the same feeling he failed to do so. </p>
<p>How about the first question of that passage, the question about comparing two passages?</p>
<p>Was the answer something about “Purports to be”?</p>
<p>I also put claim but I can’t remember the exact question. Does anyone remember it?</p>
<p>That was a claim. An interpretation implies that he was suggesting a different way of looking at his findings; a claim is a statement that he must back up with evidence or interpretations later on.
@Mystic1996 it was the first sentence of his second or third paragraph, the question was “what is the best way that sentence is understood” or something.</p>
<p>edit:
@johnrhee it was the first sentence or paragraph of John Muir and it was a simile.</p>
<p>@john I got that the author of Passage 2 wanted to have the experience with nature that the author of Passage 1 did. Obviously not word for word but something along those lines.</p>
<p>What was the answer to the one where it asked why the dude personfiied the flower?</p>
<p>I think the question was a statement (or claim, lol) about human beings and memories being amazing or something. </p>
<p>just a guess</p>
<p>@teeheelol, I got it down between “depth of emotion” and something else. I think I picked the former, but I’m not positive.</p>
<p>Lol the only thing i remember about my answer to the personification question was like how “deep” his feelings were or something… Bad memory here.
Also what did people get for why he compared it to all of his “human meetings”? I got it showed the singularity of that experience. Anyone else?</p>
<p>I think I missed another one…darn…
The second Muir passage shifted from serious to humorous, not <em>something</em> to despairing… not sure why I would bubble the second one…</p>
<p>By the way does anyone know which CR was the experimental?
I remember someone saying that it was the one with Newton… I think I had Newton but I’m not sure.</p>
<p>Yeah I remember that want to have same experience was some phrasing with “Purports to be”. Thnx</p>
<p>How about the one with greek explorer in short passage? the question summarizing the passage. Was it to indicate opinion of current people and the ancient greeks toward the explorer? I am not quite sure about the question…</p>
<p>Doesn’t an interpretation suggest that he took what he was given and interpreted to see what it means. I vividly remember the 1st sentence after the anecdote, it said something along the lines of the anecdote showing the functions of the brain. I can’t get my head wrapped around how it was a claim, because it was not a persuasive type of essay, imo it was not making an argument, like a claim should. I don’t think it was building upon scientific facts, rather than just clearing them up. Can anyone say something that would break this argument?</p>
<p>@Apunia “If it helps my credentials?” How old are you</p>
<p>@musicislife I wrote that he wanted to give human motivations to the flower. Because he said “spirit” and so forth.</p>
<p>@apunia it was a claim, he made a statement without referencing the previous paragraph. If you vividly remember it, enlighten us.</p>
<p>Can we settle this finally please? On the Muir passage, there was a question about whether “blah blah convering frozen fingers” was a play on words or whether it was a shift from a serious to more humorous tone.</p>
<p>Evidence in favor of a play on words:</p>
<p>Same phrase appeared earilier in the passage in a different context.
The paragraph was already humorous, so it couldn’t be a SHIFT from a SERIOUS tone.</p>
<p>Evidence in favor of shift in tone:</p>
<p>It wasn’t a “true” play on words.</p>
<p>Personally, I put play on words, so I’m a bit biased. Perhaps someone (<em>cough</em> @thenerdyjew) who put it was a shift in tone who feels very confident in that answer could explain why they put it.</p>
