<p>I highly doubt the tone was sarcastic. The sentences prior to the “very understandable/humane” all sympathized with Descartes.</p>
<p>What was the one about the author who wrote “unique, creative something” and “something about a vein”? Like you had to choose why the essay described the author using the phrases in the quotation marks… The answers were language short story authors used during that time, reactions of the comtemporaries who read the book, and some other options…</p>
<p>Did anyone else put something about an author’s writing style being penetrating because of a comparison? I haven’t read the entire thread, but I didn’t see any discussion about that.</p>
<p>^ Yeah, I put that as my answer. Pretty sure it’s right too.</p>
<p>Yes affronted was E</p>
<p>I think “contemporaries” is the right answer</p>
<p>Another question about the father/daughter passage:
What was the answer to the one about him reading on Egypt?
Pretty sure I put “to show how trivial the reading material was” but now I feel like I should have put the opposite.</p>
<p>Argenia, it was to show the father’s breadth of knowledge.</p>
<p>Placid
Sleep
Apocryphal
Foreboding… Elation
Profound
Curtail
Impair…minimize</p>
<p>Lawyer’s tone = affronted
“very understandable” = sympathetic</p>
<p>Father is sociable… reserved
Daughter asks in an “earnest” tone
Egypt = shows fathers breadth of knowledge</p>
<p>cautionary… stirred up</p>
<p>Placid

<p>cautionary… stirred up</p>
<p>Also, the answer to the last question of the father/daughter passage was that she kept her promise.</p>
<p>Couldn’t the one about the heart regulation be ‘increased, diminished’?</p>
<p>^^</p>
<p>That really didn’t need to be asked.</p>
<p>That was the most obvious question on the test, besides the one about sleep.</p>
<p>I’m fuzzy as to the question here (something about the daughter saying to/asking) but was the answer urgently? I remember putting that as an answer to something regarding that passage… but I don’t remember the question >_<</p>
<p>No, since the first part talked about blood pressure REGULATION, and you can’t really increase regulation. Even if you did increase regulation, it wouldn’t have a negative effect.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I got this too. A close answer was “she did her achievements.”</p>
<p>All agree?</p>
<p>^ ^ ^ No, I think the question was what does the word urgently represent about the situation and for the answer I put that the daughter didn’t want her father to get distracted.</p>
<p>And also, was one of the answers resignment?</p>
<p>what did you guys put for the answer for the cosmology short passage where the question asked what did the author mean when we would be so confused by their fixings?</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>Yes, the distracted answer is definitely right; I remember finding the exact place in the passage where it support it.</p>
<p>I don’t remember the question where you guys are saying the answer to was “sympathetic”…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I put that it would transform our understanding or something like that, I think.</p>
