PSAT Wednesday CR Discussion

<p>Hmmm let’s see what else I can remember:
there was the one about the guy swinging an axe being “forceful and pointed”
or something like that</p>

<p>^^ Same here. </p>

<p>The question about the sympathetic one was where it asked for the tone that described the lines, “Very humane, very understandable” or something like that. About the mind/dualism, right?</p>

<p>@Feedback411 OHHH yeah now I remember. that was my answer to the question.</p>

<p>and yeah, one of the answers was resignment.</p>

<p>OMG, that cosmology paragraph was utter crap. It seemed like the author was annoyed that our models of the universe kept changing as we made scientific advances.</p>

<p>SENTENCE COMPLETION:
Placid
Sleep
Apocryphal
Foreboding… Elation
Profound
Curtail</p>

<h2>Impair…minimize</h2>

<p>JUDICIAL SYSTEM
Lawyer’s tone = affronted</p>

<h2>“very understandable” = sympathetic</h2>

<p>MEXICAN MARTA
Father is sociable… reserved
Daughter asks in an “earnest” tone
Egypt = shows fathers breadth of knowledge
Daughter kept her promise</p>

<h2>Daughter didn’t want father to be distracted</h2>

<p>DESCARTES AND DUALISM…
cautionary… stirred up</p>

<p>What was the Q for “resignment” ?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Agree, I put that.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes, it was in a question about the tone the author used when her father was distracted and she was looking for something to do while she waited. Something like that. And it was “resigned”, I think, if that matters to anyone.</p>

<p>It was about the feeling that the daughter had when her dad began to talk to the fisherman.</p>

<p>What were all the choices to the “very humane, very understandable” one?</p>

<p>Wasn’t there a choice like indifferent or something? :confused: Grr…</p>

<p>^^^^
^^^I’m not sure what I put for that, but I don’t think it was resigned because she was looking for something to do until her father was done talking, so I don’t think she resigned or gave up…but I don’t know, I suck at CR, take my opinion with a grain of salt.</p>

<p>"there was the one about the guy swinging an axe being “forceful and pointed”
or something like that "</p>

<p>I’m curious about this one, too. I put the answer about sharp insights, but I second guessed myself.</p>

<p>Just wanted to double check on this one:</p>

<p>Was the answer “commendable…exemplary” for the one about the parent’s actions that modeled their children’s behavior or something like that?</p>

<p>What were the other choices for resignment?</p>

<p>^</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure it was.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I don’t really remember the question but I’m almost positive that I chose that answer.</p>

<p>I thought disdain was one of them…</p>

<p>:/</p>

<p>@ businessgrl - The question was asking about the author’s tone regarding Descartes’s reasoning. “Very human, very understandable” was the final sentence in the paragraph.</p>

<p>I had it narrowed down to sarcastic and sympathetic, and eventually settled on sympathetic, because the author seemed to understand the inquisitive and unsure nature of the mind. He didn’t belittle it.</p>

<p>Why isn’t that one impartial?</p>

<p>^^</p>

<p>Same elimination process, but chose the former.</p>

<p>the resignment one was outrage for the tone b/c it sounded like she was mad and did not know what to do to occupy herself , tell me i am wrong</p>

<p>^^ same 10char</p>
