<p>Hm… I don’t think this question was mentioned before… but do you guys remember the last question for the art movement passage? Something about what is both the art movement and that other style have in common.</p>
<h2>I put inscrutable/ exhaustive mainly because of exhaustive. Edifying doesn’t fit at all (“covering a lot of ground”), just like inscrutable. We’ll find out on 23rd I guess</h2>
<p>Shakespeare it’s derisive not humorous. I’m confident about this one.</p>
<p>And familiar in context means easily recognized.</p>
<p>edifying is in the ball park, though I agree that exhaustive is a much better word. Inscrutable is just plain wrong, almost even the opposite of what it should mean.</p>
<p>I’m also confident about derisive though.</p>
<p>yes that was a derisive comment.</p>
<p>it is like narrating a natural phenomenon…</p>

<p>I copy this from someone’s reply…</p>
<p>I agree with most of the answers, but as for the Shakespeare passage, I think it should be "industry"rather than knowledge.</p>
<p>What do you guys think about that question?</p>
<p>Till now, I have 4 wrongs in CR. I hope I will get a 750…</p>
<p>A thriving industry is based on shakespeare is the correct answer 100%</p>
<p>^AHHHHH I now remember this shakespeare industry question. I think I had it down as “We don’t have enough knowledge about shakespeare”, but I later changed it to industry, because I noticed the bit in passage 1 about the prolific amount of biographies about shakespeare. But yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s industry…</p>
<p>whivh one was the munificence??do u remember any other choices or what the sentenc said??</p>
<p>and was magnanimous and munificence in the same question???</p>
<p>what is 6 wrong, 2 omitted?</p>
<p>munifence and magnaminous were two different answers and were both right for their questions</p>
<p>for those of you who had the experimental reading section, do any of you remember which passages were contained in that section??</p>
<p>What was the question where one of the answers were 'it means the author doesn’t know much about shakespeare"</p>
<p>6 wrong, 2 omitted…what am i looking at?</p>
<p>700^…</p>
<p>@zinokey</p>
<p>i’m not sure that was an option, unless you’re talking about that highly disputed question comparing the two passages. If that was an option then I think that it was the one about passage 1 that referred to specific lines. </p>
<p>I know that the chinese one was that she separated from her parents but I think that I put that she starts seeing through her mother’s perspective or something like that. I know that’s wrong, but I remember the question asked how the author develops throughout the entire passage, and seeing that a great portion was spent talking about how she felt that she was the only one who could call Irvine her home, I thought that might be the answer. I don’t want to defend my answer, but can someone give a clear explanation for why it’s “separates from parents”?</p>
<p>is -4 like 750-760? as a side note, on the may test i got -4 750.</p>
