Foreboding… Elation

<h2>Exemplary…commendable</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
(Need answers here, I got my ass handed to in this section)</p>

<p>It was resignment…she sat down and tried to find something to do
If it was anger or outrage, she would have yelled or something…</p>

<p>but wasn’t she expressing her anger by saying “papi always does this. now i have to find something else to do.” those weren’t the exact words but that is whay i remember. if it was resigned wouldn’t it mean that she was apathetic about the matter.</p>

<p>No, altamash. She is resigned because she has given up trying to get her father’s attention. Initially she tries to get his attention by holding onto his hand or something (? not certain) but then when he goes over to the fisherman, she realizes she has lost his attention for good and simply gives up.</p>

<p>Descartes and Dualism
Idea in Passage 1 has been refuted by biological research
Humans overemphasize their distinctiveness
special means extraordinary (or something like that)
the repetition of the certain phrase shows how fascinating the human brain is
“growing up” refers to humans finding their place in the universe
appealing but problematic</p>

<p>confirming dblazer’s answers</p>

<p>oh al right thnx susie</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Exceptional, I think.</p>

<p>I’ve already forgotten quite a few of my answers.</p>

<p>i think i was exceptional</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I think I put something else here…
What were the other options?</p>

<p>I thought the repetition of “showed” was to emphasize how humans didn’t have a central role in the universe/weren’t as important as they thought they were. All the discoveries those scientists made seemed to contribute to that point.</p>

<p>Judicial System
Overall a critical of law system
French system less likely to manipulate facts
The quote at the end infers that left at its current state, people will stop trusting judicial system
The Bar/ Attorney Associations exemplify problems with the system</p>

<p>@susie
wasn’t that a different question? Because I got that answer too o.o</p>

<p>@cesssu, Oh, maybe I misunderstood what you were asking. What repetition are you referring to?</p>

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

<p>just collecting conventional wisdom here- however from other posts I’m still seeing issues in vocab. with apocryphal, curtail, and exemplary/commendable.</p>

<p>Does everyone agree with dblazer? I agree with at least half (simply cant remember the rest of my answers)</p>

<p>Passages About Advertisement
If they listened to passage two, they wouldn’t place adds in uninteresting places
The assumption in Passage 2 is that they don’t watch all ads</p>

<p>The Critique on the Astronomers
A breakthrough is going to happen</p>

<p>The Black Writer
The quotes are critical acclaims
He is very focused and cutting in his writing (don’t quite remember wording)</p>

<p>I feel like the french system less likely to manipulate facts is wrong because it said that attorneys were more likely to manipulate a side of the story at the bottom of the left side of the page.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>If I remember correctly, this answer referred to “modern” critical acclaims, while the passage referred to an “immediate” response, which is why I chose the answer that mentioned “contemporaries’ response” or reaction. I might be thinking of another question, so I’m not sure, but I distinctly remember noticing something like that.</p>
