<p>^omg don’t remind me. i think i’m gonna cry on that day b/c i’ll be so nervous and scarred…lol</p>
<p>i’m not even gonna check my score…last time i told my parents to check it…i just didn’t have the guts to!</p>
<p>^omg that’s cool xD</p>
<p>Evidence that “genius” is the correct answer? dont make me laugh. The passage states that he is the presiding genius of the industry, not because HE was a genius to the highest degree, but that he was essential to the sucess of the industry. The answer is ANYTHING but “genius” .</p>
<p>Is there a tangible list of complete answers yet?</p>
<p>agree with Zenbadabing. Also in the first passage it says something along this line: “it would be a bad year if no more than one or two biographies on Shakespeare is on the shelf.” Which means that Shakespeare is pretty much an indicator of how the book market is doing.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember if WRY was one of the answers?</p>
<p>Also why cant the answer to the Shakespeare similarity question be that “little is known about him to the public.”
Isn’t that the reason Industry thrives, because they see Shakespeare and assumes that he is great without really understanding his true genius? Passage 1 makes a similar argument.</p>
<p>Well, zorro, I had that as the answer (little known), and I believe firmly that that is correct, though many on CC have come up w/ different answers. So it’s up to CB now. haha.</p>
<p>Zenbadabing- we’ve already debated this extensively (along with some other competant advocates for industry) and you can reference my points a few pages back. You will not find it easy to counter them. Also, note that this 2nd passage is exactly how I remembered and described it.</p>
<p>The answer is most likely industry because I put industry and I own CR</p>
<p>yeah except its genius. sorry</p>
<p>If I have zero wrong in CR next week, I will be talking a ton of trash! A skilled SAT taker would have eliminated genius because of the qualifier “of the highest degree.”</p>
<p>^ i agree =) too extreme =O</p>
<p>So Wry was correct or wasnt??</p>
<p>Never mind I just read this </p>

<p>I generally stink at CR, and I put genius. The thing that went through my mind was that what other type of genius is there? It would be an oxymoron to say an average genius. It has to be a genius to the highest degree because that is really the only type of genius it is. Now I am not saying that that is the right answer, I am just saying it is not as extreme as it seems.</p>
<p>Well Im also quite good at CR Choklit, but that is irrelevant to this debate. You can get 2 wrong and still get an 800!! This was without a doubt the most difficult problem on the test; if one is to get only -1, this is most likely the question he/she will get wrong. You have not provided a convincing argument for industry, only arrogant assertions. I think its safe to say the answer is not mystery; and I would hardly call the two biographies per year a “thriving industry”. The mystery option was appealing for those considering only passage 1, and the industry option was appealing for those only considering passage 2. Genius was the only option that worked well for BOTH passages.</p>
<p>^Oh well, you can’t be 100% correct that you are right. All will be confirmed when the scores come out next week.</p>
<p>honestly screw this… i just want a 1500 M+CR</p>
<p>“it would be a bad year if no more than one or two biographies on Shakespeare is on the shelf.”</p>
<p>That’s not what it said. It said it would be bad year if one or two didn’t come out. This is in contrast to the fact that it took a century for the first Shakespeare biography to be published. There is nothing that says Shakespeare is an indicator of how the book market is doing.</p>
