SAT May 2009 CR

<p>"WHAT? I thought the conceited one is about celebrity, writer and gaining fame not garbage colletor. "</p>

<p>Correct…gandizrippin made a mistake…hence, i still think shamelessly conceited is right.</p>

<p>Do you guys remember any more celebrity questions and answers? That was the hardest passage and I did a lot of guessing.</p>

<p>Infinitismel was NOT experimental.</p>

<p>What was the question then?</p>

<p>what was the infinitisemal q?</p>

<p>Something about a companies morale going lower after the leader informed them that the chance of them getting money was infinitesimal. Sentence completion.</p>

<p>wasplummeted and infinitisemal a pair? i chose that i think</p>

<p>i think infinitesimal was about the scientists’ morales dropping (or w/e the vocab word was) because the chance of further funding was infinitesimal.</p>

<p>oh, what is plummet and infinitesimal?</p>

<p>i think it is is plummet and infinitismal</p>

<p>she says she didn’t answer their question how they wanted to but she enjoyed it. exactly. so that means she is humble in admitting she didn’t answer the question. she was humble because she wasn’t arrogant or assertive. Cavalier means “marked by or given to offhand and often disdainful dismissal of important matters”. and a less technical definiton would be haughty or disdainful. Do we ever see her showing disdain or haughtiness towards the reporter’s question? enjoying something IMO doesn’t imply disdain.</p>

<p>I said humble also…</p>

<p>Cavalier seemed too much like a cowboy. L</p>

<p>^^
i know Zombie and I are the only ones who think it’s humble but I just want to see if others agree and if perhaps people can convince me with counterarguments.</p>

<p>Btw, was the one about how the author viewed chemistry, “idealized”?</p>

<p>For chrissake people, use the dictionary.</p>

<p>CAVALIER-</p>

<p>adj.</p>

<ol>
<li>Carefree and nonchalant; jaunty.</li>
</ol>

<p>It was cavalier and idealized, end of story.</p>

<p>I agree that it’s ridicule and not conceited.</p>

<p>The author recognizes he occassionally feels he must go around doing those things that he criticizes along with the literary critic, in order to further his career/live up to the expectation created by other celebrities.</p>

<p>He certainly isnt shameless, as he criticizes the actions that he confesses to commit on occassion.</p>

<p>I’m positive its Mildy ridiculous, and not shamelessly conceited.</p>

<p>I also put humble, though I won’t be surprised if im wrong.</p>

<p>isnit steadfast?</p>

<p>"Btw, was the one about how the author viewed chemistry, “idealized”? "</p>
