<p>^ both qualify? was it in the top left corner?</p>
<p>do you guys remmebr the question with the squirrel and the acorn?
was the answer resuscitation?</p>
<p>jules, i think i put that too. unfortunatly, (or unhappilly lol) hapless makes perfect sense</p>
<p>Prep 8- I agree, the rival painter was annoyed. No where in the passage did it state that he was feeling any jealousy, only that he was unimpressed with the other painter.</p>
<p>i put qualify assertionss</p>
<p>beguiled wasnt the answer, but i dont remember what was</p>
<p>i dont remember what corner it was in. and beguiled and resuscitation are NOT answers</p>
<p>The acorn one was “subsistence”.</p>
<p>scribistan, I put jealous. You could tell, because it said that the rival painted AFFECTED being unimpressed, and then went home and BROODED. All of that was within the 2 or 3 lines. Basically he faked being unimpressed and then went home and sulked over how good it actually was, and then subsequently attempted to make something better. That was jealousy.</p>
<p>i put beguiled and resucitation =/</p>
<p>but the answers were nonplussed and subsidize only 2 i got wrong =(</p>
<p>crap. i put subsistence first & then changed it >.<</p>
<p>I put something tendencies.</p>
<p>for the assertions one</p>
<p>*rival painter</p>
<p>its not jealous. and here’s why. First, just becuase he was silent and then brooded, does not mean he was jealous. That is a biig assumption. Second, he was quoted and he said how unimprressive his painting was, how easy it is to “mislead” birds (“bird brain”)… However, he did show to have more knowledge about the intellectual capacity of birds. That was the only answer choice that can be DIRECTLY applied from the passage. The painter would never be envious of his subordinate when he knows he is the better paint; and proves it with his painting</p>
<p>on the assertations one, does anyone remember the other options?</p>
<p>Furthermore, the basis of that story is how the narrator is inspired by the painter. Not because he is jealous, but because he could :quote: “outsmart the professionals”</p>
<p>on the assertations one, does anyone remember the other options? i wish i knew, all i know is i put (e)</p>
<p>How exactly did the rival show that he has “more knowledge about the intellectual capacity of birds”? He went home and painted something with curtains that fools the first guy (the one who paints the grapes). Unless the first guy is a bird in disguise, I don’t see how the rival proves himself to have superior knowledge of birds.</p>
<p>he has superior knowledge because the 1st painter thinks he is all cool tricking birds, and then comes along mr. 2nd painter and says “silly little 1st painter, birds are stupid” a whole paragraph (3sentences) was devoted to just that</p>
<p>lmao zenythz.</p>
<p>he was not jealous, cuz he knew how easy it was to tick birds (cuz he knew how stupid they were) and went further and tricked a human</p>
