<p>45/67 questions</p>

<p>BOLDING represents controversy over the question</p>

<p>By the way does anyone remember the answer choices to:</p>

<p>“systematically discredits vs 2 presents view 1 finds objectionable”</p>

<p>and </p>

<p>“analogous reasoning”</p>

<p>?</p>

<p>dramatic, predict reaction and refute, fundamentally, evocative, and systematically discredits is what I think</p>

<p>@ swoony
do we know if the answer choice for the paranthese question said “predict and REFUTE” or “predict and RESPOND”</p>

<p>@swoony, systematically discredits and 2 presents a view 1 finds objectionable , were the only two viable choices… I eliminated down to those two and picked systematically discredits</p>

<p>Also, the other q was for analogous reasoning vs. repetition… I’m fairly certain the answer was repetition</p>

<p>I thought it was repetition instead of analogous?He repeated teacher like 4 times and constantly referred back as “they”.</p>

<p>does anyone remember the simile when she compares her situation with tennis?
I don’t know if it was “casual” or “payed close attention”</p>

<p>@krungle yeah it’s responds. A friend of mine compiled most of this list so i’ll have to change that accordingly.
@gt i think you’re confusing some answers (regarding your first post). regarding your second post, I don’t remember what I put so if anyone has other answer choices please post them here…
and for analagous reasoning vs. repetition…I think i put something else but i’m not sure so i’d have to look at the other answer choices.</p>

<p>I say it was repetition, other one was objectionable, comical anecdote, dramatic, not sure though</p>

<p>Regardless, thanks for doing this! :)</p>

<p>I still think it is systematically discredits. Because the author discredit’s the other author’s argument by saying that he/she does not consider the whole picture.</p>

<p>Yep, repetition is correct for sure, as is dramatic. Fundamentally seems obviously correct, and the sphinx was evocative for sure. I also believe that “predict and respond to a reaction” and “espouses a view that the writer of author 1 finds objectionable” are correct answers, but with these I can see how one could argue the other side.</p>

<p>I don’t remember my answer but the latter one in my list is (I think) wrong. Author 1 would not find viewpoint 2 objectionable because it did NOT contradict author 1’s argument. Rather, it built on author 1’s argument by mentioning that author 1’s argument was too limited in scope and though author one was correct about formal coursework/teachers not being able to influence moral character, the college as a whole is able to.</p>

<p>In short, I think systematically discredits or whatever is right.</p>

<p>anyone for the simile?</p>

<p>What curve do you guys expect for CR?</p>

<p>also I forgot: what question is this referring to? Lol.
“author 2 asking a q by author 1”</p>

10/9-05/11 seems to be the range.</p>

<p>I took 1/11 and 10/11 and it seemed to be between the two, leaning more towards 1/11 than 10/11.</p>

<p>I think it was author 2 ANSWERS a question of author 1</p>

<p>for the question about the Khyber pass in the passage about adventure and being lost i was deciding between “an exotic locale” and “a pleasant place to be lost” i think i ended up picking the former what was it?</p>

<p>@stresswaves that was an experimental question.</p>

<p>@Banned, those are really good curves…</p>

<p>@swoony ah good didn’t like that passage</p>

<p>anyone, please, remember the tennis simile?</p>
