<p>Ari - i agree with your points.</p>
<p>mildly ridiculous is far from confirmed…if anything, ive seen more people who think its shamelessly conceited…</p>
<p>There was something about “serious”. What was serious? Thoughtful or humorless?</p>
<p>thoughtful’s what most of us think, so confirmed?</p>
<p>I put thoughtful for that one.</p>
<p>And I put mildly ridiculous for the other, but I’m not sure.</p>
<p>Thoughtful</p>
<p>Was the critic who was obsessed with Cuther experimental?</p>
<p>^ I can’t recall it so maybe it is.</p>
<p>i don’t remember a critic obsessed with cuther…</p>
<p>Serious meant thoughtful- It was akin to academic pursuits.</p>
<p>Excuse me if the answer for this question is confirmed, what’s the answer for the author blowing the horn?</p>
<p>anyone know any other SC?</p>
<p>I think it is mildly ridiculous, didn’t he allude to clowns or something earlier in the passage? He seemed to know what he was doing was ridiculous…
How is it conceited? He wasn’t conceited.</p>
<p>It’s not confirmed. </p>
<p>Methinks it’s conceited, other people think he’s ridiculing himself. We’ll know on the 21st.</p>
<p>Akhhhh… Thats like -7 or 8 and then I omitted 4… 650???</p>
<p>For the archaelogist question where people thought the answer was cavalier…She said she admits being wrong but she enjoyed it. Wouldn’t the “admit being wrong” part be humble then. </p>
<p>Here’s merriam webster’s definition of humble:</p>
<p>1) not proud or haughty : not arrogant or assertive
2) reflecting, expressing, or offered in a spirit of deference or submission </p>
<p>She is not asserting that she is correct, she is not arrogant. She is showing deference by admiting she was probably wrong.</p>
<p>Is ridiculous vs. conceited one about blowing the horn? It’s conceited I think, he’s trying to gain fame right?</p>
<p>She doesn’t say she was wrong, she says she didn’t answer their question how they wanted to. The entire passage was lighthearted and indicative of a whimsical personality. Cavalier (albeit the alternate definition) is the best choice.</p>
<p>infinitesimal</p>
<p>Yes SkiHi. But the problem that I ran into (and the problem we’re having here) is that he is ridiculing celebrity overall. I think they are both correct in a way, however I felt conceited and shameless was a better choice.</p>
