<p>The answer was that the food industry wanted to make food cheaply/efficiently or whatever. The companies could not care less about continuing certain technologies, they are in business to make money.</p>
<p>ace22: you have to consider the main point of the passage. you can’t approach CR like a robot.</p>
<p>but thats an inference; it never said that in the passage. there was a direct line where the question directed us that loosely said:</p>
<p>now the food industry, aware of all these tricks, was eager to continue this and feed the public</p>
<p>^yeah but it said the food industry was eager to use its techniques from wwII or something…hence the technologies one…</p>
<p>do you remember the question. it was like “the passage at least partially suggests that…” so it was setting things up for an inferential answer that wasn’t directly stated</p>
<p>no the question was:</p>
<p>Which of the following is a direct consequence of American’s new eating habits</p>
<p>The choice said “the food industry NEEDED to make food cheaply and efficiently” or whatever… they didn’t NEED to, they wanted to just keep using the same technologies as they had for the war, thus that choice is correct.</p>
<p>EDIT: And I think the Q said, according to the passage, the American eating habits stemmed from which of these? Or something.</p>
<p>i’m not a robot…? i’m human and i make errors. but with this question, i am almost positive because i found direct evidence in the passage.</p>
<p>question: what is the direct consequence of American’s new eating habits? (no set-up for inference, actually)</p>
<p>a good answer: industry’s desire to keep using food technologies
evidence: “now, the food industry is eager to use these tricks to feed the public…”</p>
<p>, the post-World War II food industry, bursting with tricks it had learned for feeding soldiers overseas, was eager to train Americans “to develop a lasting taste for meals that were a lot like food rations”—dried, reconstituted, indestructible. The offerings included dried wines, a potato snack called Tatonuts that was touted as having “strong resistance to weather conditions,” canned hamburgers, and—I swear—frozen concentrated mineral water</p>
<p>the question was asking for a cause of the eating habits, NOT a consequence. and there was a setup for inference which you’re leaving out. you’re just trying to rationalize your answer(which is wrong btw)</p>
<p>i agree with ace. Regardless of whether or not the question said “inference,” you can INFER that if the companies were eager to use their new food technologies, they would want to continue using the same technologies on the general public. It just makes sense.</p>
<p>I posed the exact passage (I found it online); read and choose for yourself. I’m almost positive it’s continuation of food technologies, though.</p>
<p>There isn’t ENOUGH info to infer that companies NEEDED to make things cheaply. There is, on the other hand, heaping evidence to conclude that these companies were eager to continue the war-food technologies…</p>
<p>both of those answers infer too much from the passage. using ‘tricks’ on the public doesn’t imply tech; however, one of the answer choices was along the lines of “the public liked food that had been used by overseas soldiers”, which fits the rest of the passage. pretty sure that was the correct answer.</p>
<p>i also remember putting figurative language for an answer…it was like (needs…wants…) and i remember something was an analogy</p>
<p>^no, thats a terrible answer.</p>
<p>three more answers to discuss…but i don’t remember much about them.</p>
<ol>
<li>figurative language (needs…wants)</li>
<li>analogy???</li>
<li>hiking: once she saw the ground, she realized the other objects</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>paradox…wants and something about fungus</li>
<li>analogy</li>
<li>hiking: once she saw the ground, she was aware of other objects or something</li>
</ol>
<p>i put the same last two answers but got a different first one</p>
<p>does anyone remember the questions corresponding to the metaphor, nuance/complex, authenticity, and discern answers?</p>
<p>I put the same answers as you, ace.</p>
<p>“^no, thats a terrible answer.”</p>
<p>LOL well at least I can agree with you there.</p>
<p>And Ace, I agree with 1 and 3, but I don’t know what that 2 is…?</p>
