<p>Or, it might have read, “She was not interested in ASKING about her mother’s past,” which is an entirely different story.</p>
<p>true true
i still gotta stick with my answer tho…i can’t afford getting another one wrong lol</p>
<p>i’m hoping that because of that longing she was interested in asking, she just couldnt cuz of the attitude</p>
<p>yeah we have talked about this question for a few pages now… i also think the answer is the mothers attitude stifling her interest…
can we talk more about the “narrow and biased” question on the encyclopedia passage? any more answer choices or details on the question?! I seriously dont think that was the answer even though i dont remember what the correct one was, lol.</p>
<p>the fact that she was a writer had nothing to do with the passage.</p>
<p>It must’ve been E) narrow and biased. </p>
<p>Western imperialism = <em>insert negative adjective here</em></p>
<p>geez i totally cant remember that question!</p>
<p>oh yeah it was totally narrow and biased.</p>
<p>remember any more choices for that question?
or do you remember any more choices for the question about the main idea of the chinese mother passage (besides difficult undertaking)?</p>
<p>is -2 usually 800 for CR, or more commonly like 790/780?</p>
<p>bschenkel,</p>
<p>I believe avdaxes comes closest to quoting the exact answer choice, and that is essentially what I remember reading on the exam. It’s very easy and convenient to think that the answer is subjective on passage-based reading questions. The fact is: every answer is objectively defensible. Even the “benign monster” question from the May 5 exam, a question I did not like at all and on which I debated endlessly with others, had a best answer (which, unfortunately, was not the answer I chose). I now see my error with that question, even though I still maintain that the question (and answer choices) was not written perfectly. I can understand how my answer choice was objectively inferior to the correct answer choice.</p>
<p>Without having the entire passage and exact question and answer choices in front of us, it’s very hard to debate back and forth. I bet that if we had those things, and I sat with you, I could convince you in 5 minutes that my answer was correct and your answer is inferior and flawed.</p>
<p>btw, does anyone know exactly the close-knit question? i know i put that answer but i don’t seem to recall any of it</p>
<p>it was like … “which of these most accurately describes what the author views the group of friends as?” i think…</p>
<p>what passage was this?</p>
<p>i seriously dont remember that question or passage either. the only passage i remember about this sort of thing was in the motorcycle passage how he viewed the other very country-like people.</p>
<p>i think it was a short one.</p>
<p>oh!! it just came to me! this was the short passage about the guy who was suddenly accepted into this group of friends who are usually very judgmental. they thought his PROSAIC day to day activities were interesting… i dont understand how an answer could have been close-knit because it never talked about the relationship between the other friends.</p>
<p>Oooooooh Yeah I Did Put Prosaic For That Now I Remember@!!!</p>
<p>yes thats where prosaic was…yay murderah. ill add that next time i update the answers.</p>
<p>heh, i knew i would strike your memory once i described the story better. i still dont understand how the close-knit thing works as an answer to the other question (not the prosaic one)</p>
<p>so what did you describe the group as then?</p>
