<p>Eagerness.</p>
<p>did you guys have short passages about acting?</p>
<p>Yep, everyone did.</p>
<p>what was his attitude of the guy described in the second passage? skepticism or outright condemnation?</p>
<p>Seahorse: I put “less fierce and graceful” or sth like that. I am pretty sure that’s right. fierce, comparing it to a shark. graceful comparing sth (that I don’t remember but it was described as beautiful)</p>
<p>@horusb I put guarded skeptism, because the guy said he has nothing against it, but thinks it is a waste of time</p>
<p>@meb. me too!</p>
<p>sorry but back to the oil question, did the answer have to be an integer??</p>
<p>not sure if fractions of gallons count.</p>
<p>Outright condemnation because the author describes it in a “caustic” manner. Something like that</p>
<p>Hey, in the one about the Japanese rice,
what did u guys get for the question about in like 30-38, it shows what? it was either centrality of family meals or rice is valued to the family? what did u put?</p>
<p>I said “outspoken condemnation”</p>
<p>what did you guys put wanting? It was like “official explanation for the war was wanting, and there was no need to put a wage for the war on people” or sth like that. I put lacking because it went with the flow better than desiring, and the revisionists came up with an explanation for themselves. If it was desiring, than they would have probably talked how they need the explanation and the reason for “desiring.” But it was lacking, they came up with theirs.
INADDITION, choices needing and desiring were very similar, and no specific words or phrases from the passage differentiated between them.
What do you guys think?</p>
<p>Rice is valued to the family</p>
<p>I put desiring but I think I got it wrong. </p>
<p>Meburi, needing and desiring are two completely different ideas.</p>
<p>He caustically criticized it, therefore he IS publicly against it, and therefore it’s outright condemnation.</p>
<p>@super it cannot be outright condemnation. It is waaaay too harsh. The passage explicitly said that he doesn’t mind that practice, but he just thinks it’s a waste of time.</p>
<p>@AZ not in that context</p>
<p>Yea, for the actor one I said “skepticism” or whatever. He never said he hates it. He’s just against it.</p>
<p>But caustic means “severely critical or sarcastic” and the passage specifically used that word</p>
