<p>Haha… nope.</p>
<p>OMG, I just remembered. This is about the art passage - and about how he went to Budapest, employed careful techniques, etc - i wrote painstaking</p>
<p>And I second illogical.</p>
<p>We are ridiculous.</p>
<p>^Indeed.</p>
<p>That one was definitely painstaking.</p>
<p>I still think the rival artist was annoyed, not jealous. I could see jealous as possibly being right, but that requires some overanalysis.</p>
<p>I chose painstaking too since the passage mentioned going to Budapest for some stupid paint. Not sure though.</p>
<p>This is about the art passage - and about how he went to Budapest, employed careful techniques, etc - i wrote painstaking</p>
<p>I put painstaking as well.</p>
<p>As for the illogical/cautious one, I chose cautious, though I’m not sure.</p>
<p>Also, “nonplussed” is now my favorite word (although I got that one wrong…)</p>
<p>i put painstaking</p>
<p>and nevitablywharton - you are so right, i have midterms this week and i can’t pry myself away from this website</p>
<p>I got the nonplussed one wrong, too. I really, really hope the rival artist was annoyed, not jealous!</p>
<p>What is your argument for annoyed?</p>
<p>He was jealous of the original author’s realistic creation, and he rushed home to mirror that success for himself.</p>
<p>I’m almost positive the rival artist was jealous. I remember him going home and “brooding” which doesn’t really agree with being annoyed. Moreover, the fact that he decided to create a “better” painting [the curtains] seems indicative of jealousy as well.</p>
<p>I HOPE</p>
<p>The way the passage was written, I got the impression he went there, saw how petty the reason for being called was, at least pretended to be annoyed (and it could be pretty easily argues he was annoyed, considering that he easily created a better painting and had no reason to be jealous), and just brooded at the situation in general.</p>
<p>I don’t know, though. I’m fairly certain I got the “nonplussed” one wrong, and I was also wondering if the reasons the narrators gave for Zeuxis’s actions were cynical or just “alternative”.</p>
<p>Considering this was one of the hard CRs, would two wrong get 800? What would you guess for three wrong (raw score -4)?</p>
<p>It was definitely jealous. He put on a face at first when he adopted the attitude that “anyone can do that”. But he was secretly jealous, hence he went home and brooded on how to rival Zeux’s creation. You don’t usually brood if you’re annoyed.</p>
<p>i think its cautious because if cb says americans are illogical
that might be too extreme</p>
<p>I think it’s cautious because the passage states that Americans are conservative about that behavior. I think a lot of you guys see it as illogical because your personal thoughts hampered your view of the subject…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I do, seriously.</p>
<p>CULTURAL BIAS!!!</p>
<p>I’m suing.</p>
<p>Gum chewing annoys me, but I don’t brood about it days later. Same difference.</p>
<p>The delegates for Israel at my last MUN conference annoyed me, and I went home and brooded.</p>
<p>You didn’t go home and attempt to emulate anything though. Jealousy IS the answer.</p>
<p>about 10 CR questions annoyed me, and i’m sitting here brooding</p>
