<p>pyroza: Something to do with offering alternate explanations.</p>
<p>What was the answer to the question about how the author called the painter “either a fool, a nice man, or something”
It was NOT the one about heroic gesture, but the one that described alternative ways to describe it I think.</p><p>Was the scientific section experimental?
Please say yes…it was so boring!</p>
<p>xs0itg0esx, do you not know the meaning of the word AFFECTED? To AFFECT being unimpressed means to FAKE being unimpressed. To fake being unimpressed means that he ACTUALLY WAS IMPRESSED. If he WAS IMPRESSED, then he WENT HOME AND BROODED, then one can assume that he was JEALOUS of the other guy’s accomplishments.</p>
<p>Sorry, I mean the scientific method…</p>
<p>The man is clearly jealous for the following reasons:</p>
<p>He went to place, and saw it. He the PRETENDED (affected) like it was easy and it didn’t matter. After he got home, he BROODED about it.</p>
<p>edit: NEvitablyWharton beat me to it.</p>
<p>@melody Nope, it wasn’t.</p>
<p>Hey, by the way, how did you guys do overall on this section? 600+? 700+? 750+?</p>
<p>I put down jealous. The rival, especially since he knew was better, was jealous of the attention that the grape master was getting. Besides, it’s a lot more difficult to fool birds than it is to fool humans. Birds see things in different wavelenghts.</p>
<p>Feigned innocence b/c I thought I saw somewhere above that the clients feigned deception or something to that extent.</p>
<p>what were the other answer choices that came along with the bad ecomony SC question, if anybody knows?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>One of them was “defended…grateful”, which I put :(</p>
<p>lets make one consolidated list of everything we’ve agreed on… whose up for the challenge?</p>
<p>we can start with paigeohno’s:</p>
<p>VOCAB:
Senator was [Absolutist] those who didn’t know her thought she was [Indecisve]
The failing business was [Moribund]
Vacationers were friends because of [Proximity]
When the guy shouted at the girl she was so surprised she was [Nonplussed]
The people who discovered the Hale-Bop comet were [Amateurs]
This animal eats acorns for [Subsistence]</p>
<p>READING:
PAINTER ONE:
Bird picking at the painting was mislead
Wry amusement (feigned innocence???)
Started with an anecdote
The watch was an anachronism
Old Master was a famous painting not earlier recognized
Rival painter was jealous
ROCK AND ROLL:
Difference between: passage one said rock grew from dissent while passage two said rock became a party of everyday life
Both would agree people in the 1950s didnt know the scope of rock and roll
Quote from passage two qualified an assertion
Rock music is like folk artwork
NOMADS:
Sun imagery contrasts two different worlds
Different “specializations” contrast simple with complex
Nomads are comparable to ecologists
SCIENTIFIC METHOD:
Quote showed elevated status of scientists
Question changes from tone of article from the past to present.</p>
<p>there’s been a lot of vocab since then i think</p>
<p>I don’t think the first paragraph was limited to the past. Also, why is specialization simple?</p>
<p>that was from hours ago, the consensus could be different now if you wanna edit it</p>
<p>i could have sworn that “insensitive” was the word paire with absolutist…hence, i did not choose that answer</p>
<p>the qualifying assertions is wrong, because in the second passage the quote was not something not something so it would be refuting an assumption</p>
<p>re: liquidice: the not something not something wasn’t refuting an earlier argument made by the author, the author was trying to cover his tracks. iirc his statement was something about rock being revolutionary, not by design, not intentionally, not programmatically…that’s not refuting his argument, he’s trying to, well, qualify it.</p>
<p>or that hes saying that, that certain interpretation of rock is wrong</p>
