<p>For the objectionable question: One choice was that “passage 2 systematically refuted the evidence presented in passage 1” or something…but i put that passage 2 says something passage 1 would find objectionable. PLEASE CONFIRM THIS</p>
<p>Okay I remember that library comparison now. Did excavation ever come in, or am I imagining things?</p>
<p>I put that it systematically does… and does…</p>
<p>I am pretty sure I am right too.</p>
<p>oh it was systematically discredits. anyone else?
But i really don’t think that was the answer</p>
<p>@yankee i put the same answer</p>
<p>i put objectionable too</p>
<p>Because it discredits the idea of passage one because it say that it does not consider the entire argument.</p>
<p>ok, snide vs. pedantic</p>
<p>Pendantic.</p>
<p>Objectionable: Arousing distaste or opposition; unpleasant or offensive.</p>
<p>^ Not only is it too strong of a word, but does it really fit the context?</p>
<p>I definitely thought for the library one that it was: Passage 1 makes some sort of remark or something about a certain topic that’s negative, while Passage 2 believes there is promise behind that (referring to the computers) idk :(</p>
<p>1) I’m pretty sure it was snide, referring to his characterization not the people army.
2) I still think he wasn’t systematically discrediting it just bc he said it didnt look at the whole argument…also it said he discredited “the information presented”, but there wasnt rele information presented just a point of view</p>
<p>it’s not objectionable… the second passage systematicaly discredits the stuff in the first passage</p>
<p>i vote for snide</p>
<p>the first passage says that schools should only focus on education blah blah… the second passage is like “some critics think like ^” , but they are wrong… then he explains</p>
<p>It said the army was but trying to teach everythign thus it would be pedantic. Snide means mocking in an INDIRECT way…
plus why would he characterize the army or the people for that matter as snide?</p>
<p>I vote for pendantic, but I might be misinterpreting the question. The army is pendantic because they’re overly pompous with their choice of words/the abstractions they preach: “morals” blah blah all that stuff.</p>
<p>I thought the question was asking what the authors attitude of the army was… I said snide.</p>
<p>lmao, I don’t think a consensus will be reached…</p>
<p>satboy im prty sure it was answers a question posed by the other side. bc the first passage asked" whats the point of the libraries anyway" and the second passage answers that</p>
<p>The definition of Pedantic: Like a pedant, overly concerned with formal rules and trivial points of learning.</p>
