<p>What was the one about the fire again in the film passage?</p>
<p>I want to go back to a question discussed in the first two pages of this thread.</p>
<p>Did nani resemble her mother or grandmother?
Jay1996 says mother because the question was in the context of her father apparently so the answer is (father’s) mother and not grandmother which is what I put</p>
<p>-2-3 = 36-34</p>
<p>jy2013, pretty sure it’s her mother.</p>
<p>The passage says that nani resembled her father’s mother. I also put mother at first but I thought it was a little tricky so I retread the sentence again and found out that it was her grandmother (her father’s mother) that nani resembled.
But I didn’t reread the question so I’m scared that it’s asking for want father relative she resembled</p>
<p>Btw the app version of CC on iOS is terrible anyone know how to make it refresh?</p>
<p>I remember it asking who she resembled in terms of her father, so the answer was mother.</p>
<p>^ yep, it had something like according to her father or something along those lines. i’m not entirely confident though. very good chance it was grandmother.</p>
<p>Aw damit…can’t believe it would trick me like that (although I know it’s my fault for not reading the question again).</p>
<p>jy2013, i’m starting to think your answer is right. Are you on Team Argumentative or Team Informative by the way?</p>
<p>Im honesty hoping for a 26+ on science and reading. English and math I am sure I got a 30+</p>
<p>I on team argumentative because that’s what I put lol, but I was seriously considering informative. What made me go argumentative was the title first of all that showed it was argumentative, second the second part of the informative answer did not make sense, and third, the last paragraph of the essay which clearly stated his position on the topic. People say his argument is not present in the thesis or in the first paragraph, but good “argumentators” will always state their opposing side’s argument first then make their objections which the author clearly did when he said that internet and book superstores like Barnes and nobles are better than the small independent bookstores.
To me this seemed like an editorial and a news article is what I consider informative. If this was informative the author would not have gone to such extents defending his position on why independent bookstores are a relic of the past.</p>
<p>i put informative but am having some doubts because the argumentative case is easily justifiable. my thoughts behind informative were that it said it was informing the reader upon the indie bookstore market and the passage chronicled the the changes to the indie market overtime, and their decrease in popularity with the emergence of the internet and super bookstores. i didnt think there was a clear side because i believe at one point the writer reflects that certain positive aspects of the indie bookstore are lost in the superstores. that being said, it could have gone either way as I neglected to reread the title.</p>
<p>That question felt a bit unfair to be honest. It felt like it could’ve gone either way.</p>
<p>It definitely depends on what his diction was. However, the details that he provided, if i’m not mistaken, were from his own mouth and words. I remember him quoting that one lady, but didn’t quote anyone for the pro superstore or internet side. If he didn’t say who gave the argument that the internet and super bookstores are better, we can say it’s his opinion.</p>
<p>Were his arguments facts? I don’t remember</p>
<p>all i remember was that towards the end of the first column he begins to talk about how the “niche literature” market is lost in the super bookstores as people begin to flock to trendier books and bestsellers. also with the introduction of technology, people have grown impatient and would rather read short, entertaining stories than classic novels and offbeat literature. to me that was the authors way of portraying the negatives of a decline in the indie bookstore market</p>

I feel the Nani and who she resembles question is unfair… No one would’ve suspected the question to ask “in relation to her father.” Although ironically I understand the test tests on critical reading skills and the reading of the question is no exception. But in the time constrain you are in, for reading the passage that quick and understanding it, the question should reward you for that…</p>
<p>The answer to the resemblance question was definitely the mother. I found that one in the text again because I had a little extra time. It was a little weird because the question did ask in terms of the father but the passage also stated who Nani looked like in terms of the father.</p>
<p>I see where you’re coming from elizabeth. That does give the passage an informative tone. But there definitely was a argumentative tone as well and in arguments there are always concessions. Now the question is which was more prevalent?.. Do you remember the second part to the informative answer? I remember that was a sort of deciding factor for me switching to argumentative</p>
<p>@jy2013
if my memory serves correct i believe it was along the lines of
informative; concerning the indie bookstore market
I could be wrong, as you make valid points. To me, it doesn’t seem right that the main point of the whole passage hinges solely on the fact that the title was argumentative… they only take excerpts of entire passages so the actual passage could have an argumentative tone but the actual act passage given wasn’t clearly one sided</p>

<p>Do you remember how the question was worded? particularly the syntax because if the question was like</p>
<p>In terms of her father, Nani resembled her: (answer would be grandmother)</p>
<p>Or if it was</p>
<p>In terms of her father, Nani resembled her father’s: (answer would be mother)</p>
<p>or was it like </p>
<p>Who did Nani resemble in terms of her father?</p>
