<p>zenbadabing, are you sure of the exact wording of E as Innovative approach to mass production?</p>
<p>Also, can anyone remember the question whose answer was “common/affordable”, and the other answers to that question? (i think something about individual customization may have been another answer and i think the question was something abt what the two arts/crafts groups have in common)??</p>
<p>what about that shakespeare problem? there were two good answers:</p>
<p>a) shakespeare was a genius
b) there was a thriving industry on his life and work</p>
<p>so which one was the right answer?</p>
<p>The most generous curve is 63/67 = 800, I think. I am just relaxing right now. Chillax peoplez.</p>
<p>two of my friends who are really smart put innovative approach to mass production…i put ideals though…</p>
<p>I dont see how its “thriving” industry. Didn’t the first passage say less and less books were being published each year, but still a good read to those interested in shakespeares genious…maybe im wrong i dunno.</p>
<p>i put genious.</p>
<p>shakespeare one i put industry, but let’s just forget it…there are definitely like 400+ posts about that question on here and we’re obviously not gonna come to a consensus</p>
<ul>
<li><p>does disingenous mean lying? i remember there were two questions involving that, lol</p></li>
<li><p>was that artistic movement that rejected mass-production supposed to represent “natural things” or “abstract ideals”?</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Lol. Innovative approach? that was the first one i crossed out. The question was straightfoward, you just had to read the lines. “Guilds were formed throughout europe by craftsmen, who sough practical means of blah blah”</p>
<p>natrual things is correct. There was no talk of “abstract”, there was designs of leafs and … nature in general.</p>
<p>b) there was a thriving industry on his life and work</p>
<p>Passage 1 said something about Shakespeare biographies selling every year. Passage 2 never really talks about the genius of Shakespeare, only mocking how he was being commercialized.</p>
<p>can anyone remember the question whose answer was “common/affordable”, and the other answers to that question? (i think something about individual customization may have been another answer and i think the question was something abt what the two arts/crafts groups have in common)??</p>
<p>i chose thriving. The genius choice was too extreme. he was not a GENIUS T THE HIGHEST EGREE, passage 2 was obviously derisive. Idustry is correct, i don’t understand why there’s debate over this one.</p>
<p>Prom i believe thw answer was affordable. Both Arts and crafts and ejwelry mentions the “public needs”. jewelry being mass marketed allows the common ppl to possess it. Those siding with arts noveau also sought practical means of bringing quality jewelry and art to the people.</p>
<p>Wasn’t Passage 1 about how fans have a deep desire to discover who Shakespeare was even though so little was known about his life?</p>
<p>The second passage was about how BECAUSE so little was known about his life, people use his “fabled image” to corporate advantage and cultural assimilation.</p>
<p>I don’t understand why people are neglecting this theme, and why they are so built on arguing the choices of Genius vs. Industry</p>
<p>Exactly ^, there is a thriving industry. First passage was more intellectual curisoity, second was commercial indutry. Both agrees that he’s a part of a thriving industry, whether that be literature or commercial. There is no evidence in passage 2 that claims him to be A GENIUS OF THE HIGHEST DEGREE.</p>
<p>For the guilds question can anyone remember what C was?
A.practical ideals
B.regression into medieval times
C.something
D.To suit the needs of the wealthy
E.Innovative approch to mass production</p>
<p>Also, for the arts/crafts question, i know the answer was common/affordable, but does anyone remember other answers (because i want to make sure i didnt pick them)??</p>
<p>Wasn’t the answer to the above guild question “regression into medieval times”? The author talked about how the craftsmen organized medieval-like guilds.</p>
<p>That was a trap. They talked about being like medieval guilds, but the question as why. Why the guilds? The lines stated it was a practical way of doing business. Thus a practical way of realizing their ideals.</p>
<p>OK THAT’S IT!!!</p>
<p>I am putting the Shakespeare question to rest.</p>
<p>The answer is “genius of the highest magnitude.” Yes, the wording is extreme, but warranted. P1 discusses the immense intellectual curiosity he arouses, and P2 directly refers to him as the “presiding genius of the nation” meaning he is the greatest and most enduring genius of Britain. Yes, the tone of P2 may have been irreverent, but it was not directed at Shakespeare! It was instead directed at the public and their ignorance.</p>
<p>As for industries, please remember that the answer choice was “An industry thrives on his LIFE AND WORKS” This is very important. The industries mentioned must be founded on Shakespeare’s life and plays. P1 does discuss the thriving biography industry, which is consistent with the answer. P2, however, merely describes how his image is whored as a marketing tool. In fact, P2 denigrates the biographical/literary industry of Shakespeare’s works, hinting that the public barely recognizes him for his works. He says without him “industries would crumble” but he is merely referencing the beer industries and whatnot that depend on him for advertising, industries that do not meet the definition of the answer choice.</p>
<p>Lol its warranted? What are you on? P2 was mocking him dude. Lmao.</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter that P2’s industry is a “whoring” one, it still EXISTS, and it IS based on the life of Shakespeare. Many people migrate to his home town year after year, taking pictures, probably buying Shakespeare-related souvenirs, etc. It’s an industry. It never once specified in the answers whether it was a good industry or a bad one.</p>
<p>Genius of the highest magnitude is much, much too extreme. It can not be the best answer, even though it may be partly correct.</p>
<p>Wow. If you honestly believe it was mocking Shakespeare, then leave CC immediately.</p>
