I chose “it had popular appeal due too the discussion of atlantis” (i could be wrong) ambivalent on it
Hi, btw did you guys put dismissive or incredulous for the internet one ?
did you guys remember the wording & choices for the question with an answer like “teachers don’t believe in their ability”
But if he started it, wouldnt that mean he had a ton of bearing on it …
I think I put popular appeal then. Not completely sure but it rings a bell.
That was probably my 800 breaker lol. Actually now that I think of it, it makes sense.
I put dismissive
I put dismissive too. I left one blank (ranifications one) and i have yet to find another wrong but plato could easily be wrong and maybe a zen one so im not sure.
@ekl2498 @butterbear @kentonpalmer I am almost certain the answer was that Plato had little bearing on the popularity of Atlantis.
Also, about rationale vs origins, here is my reasoning behind origins:
The narrator is not rationalizing why the methods are alright or why they should be used. In fact, she doesn’t offer any opinion at all, but rather just provides an objective summary of it. I thought it should be trace the origins of a philosophy because the narrator started the indicated lines by saying where her mother inherited her philosophy from: the Japanese philosophy of zen.
what was the complete question for finicky? and what were all the choices? i don’t remember what i put haha
It didnt explain its creation though, origins refers to beginnings. It just summarized it. By summarizing zen and the means by which people follow, the narrator gave the reader an explanation, a rationale.
I’m pretty sure dismissive and rationale are right. Plato I’m unsure of.
@ambitionsquared The thing is, it’s not rationalizing (as in justifying), it’s explaining the rationale, or the logic behind it. At the end, I thought it was supposed to have an effect on the reader like, “oh, that’s why she was doing that…”
Plato had little bearing on the popularity of Atlantis because although he was the first to mention it, the legend took on a life of its own.
Does anybody remember a section with red and black headed birds and the research done on them? Or was that experimental?
If someone with a really good memory knows the exact wording of the rationale and origins choices, that would be awesome.
@JuicyMango I vaguely remember that you chose origins. Could you please justify how you chose it? We’d appreciate your input.
@KillerKiwiJuice that was definitely experimental
And i couldnt bring myself to say no bearing
If he started the myth he clearly had bearing. If it werent for plato it wouldnt even exist. If it said what role did plato have on the popularization of the myth then i guess, but still, he created it and therefore he enabled its popularization
Cr isnt my strong suit but i thought my reasoning was decent
@mnallamalli97 finicky/thorough/etc … " stroke them as fussy and superficial … " what does “fussy” mean?
Fussy most directly means finicky
& does someone remember the exact wording of the plato one? It was my least certain question
I think it was something like,
trace the origin of a philosophy
rationale a particular course of action (unsure if this is exact wording for this choice though0
@supercalif Fussy means “anxious or particular about petty details.” What I still don’t get though is that both finicky and dainty could work.
