<p>It was ‘court life’ rather that ‘court’</p>
<p>I think I chose something to do with “court”
Was the answer choice something like… people could read a lot about court life?</p>
<p>@john: yes, exactly that…and that what I chose!</p>
<p>Can anybody explain the difference between “court life” and “court”</p>
<p>I think "court life " is not comprehensive enough to cover the ideas, too.</p>
<p>And why “aristocratic” one is not right?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot!!!</p>
<p>Actually… I think the answer is “aristocratic background,” though I chose “court life.”
=(
I think that court life is too narrow… whereas aristocratic background encompasses more ideas…</p>
<p>The only reason I didn’t choose the aristocratic background was that It said ‘MOST playwrights had an aristocratic background’ and since I had to be critical, I reasoned that there was every possibility that Sheaky might not be one of these playwrights.</p>
<p>I so hope this is so, although from what you guys say, it seems to be wrong =(</p>
<p>Does anyone remember any other question from CR?</p>
<p>ya… for the odd even question thats what i did… i put 2/3</p>
<p>I don’t remember the options clearly but if Shakespeare did have the knowledge of court life then how would tht explain his knowledge of lancing and other similar stuffs.</p>
<p>for the shakespeare thing…</p>
<p>this was exactly wat i thought too… court seemed to narrow and specific and rather aristocratic background seemed to fit…</p>
<p>Totally agree with “aristocratic background”</p>
<p>Okay…since you all say so, I agree as well! =)</p>
<p>^lol. we won’t be 100% sure about the correct answer until the results come out. So, u still have hope.</p>
<p>I am quite worried that if I really changed my answer on the answer sheet.</p>
<p>I usually don’t do such things, but…</p>
<p>and the blur dot…</p>
<p>No, the answer is the “court life” not “aristocratic background.” You can count on that being right.</p>
<p>If u all don’t mind lets move to next question.
Does anyone remember any other question from CR?</p>
<p>I agree with flibs and flomatik. lol I think me and flib have like identical answers.</p>
<p>Anyways remember that it’s in context of the question and the passage. If I remember correctly the question was asking for the most plausible answer, and it’s definitely the court life one.</p>
<p>I mean we know that passage 2 is a response to passage 1, and passage 1 clearly states that Shaky is a farmer schmuck. </p>
<p>Did passage 2 ever talk about Shaky’s lineage as aristocratic? No. It doesn’t matter if most playwrights had an aristocratic lineage. We’re focused solely on the schmuck Shaky alone. Did he or did he not write those plays?</p>
<p>Did passage 2 talk about how books have become more prevalent to make knowledge available to everyone? Yes, that was one of its arguments.
Even in historical context this makes sense as well. I mean Shaky’s time is 400 years after the Gutenberg press, and we even had books on court life being published since the renaissance (the first of which was the Courtier by Castiglione).</p>
<p>Wait!
I think we’ve blurred the questions.</p>
<p>What I remember about this question is :
Which choice is the most plausible to refute the quoted lines by a scholar the P1 author mentioned?</p>
<p>What exact is the question asking?</p>
<p>About only the lines in p1</p>
<p>or how p2 refuted p1?</p>
<p>^but wasn’t the question frm passage 1?</p>
<p>How did the second passage come into account?</p>
