<p>the answer is also unfortunate acquiesce because the author of 1 thought that it was effective in furthering career so it can’t be “misguided” he just thought it was unfortunate because his morals were gone homie. i’m certain on that</p>
<p>how is that my own interpretation? the evidence in passage 1 clearly states at the end that there are negative consequences of celebrity. -7 for me so far assuming the majority arguing against me is correct. that sucks. i was expecting 750+.</p>
<p>I also put unfortunate acquiescence</p>
<p>For the “Hold attention” one, I think it’s "grasp’ better fits in. why?
- maintain is the first choice among 5. Test makers often choose them as the first literal meaning of the word being asked, therefore, it is usually wrong.
- no other part in the passage says that publishers have got readers’ attention, so there is nothing to maintain.
Gosh, hope I’m right!</p>
<ol>
<li>so what if maintain was the first one. A is as often correct as B, C, D, E. besides grasp is a more literal translation of hold than maintain is.</li>
</ol>
<p>Exactly, you don’t want the literal translation you want it IN CONTEXT.</p>
<p>so maintain i hope is correct.</p>
<p>“maintain” was the first one. Vocab questions often put the first word in test takers’ mind as choice A, because that clicks, and they will choose it, and they will get it wrong. i put the words “maintain” and 'grasp" in the text, and found “grasp attention” makes more sense, so I chose it. don’t know if i’m right, 'cause there was one question in the 8 practice tests that has the vocab answer choice A. this is intimidating.</p>
<p>You are basing your answer choice more off the psychology of the test makers than the test itself.</p>
<p>you’re psychoanalyzing too much. by the same argument i could say the test makers would hope that people choose grasp because it is a literal definition.</p>
<p>probably… i know it’s not good, but i read a strategy in some prep books that we should think like test makers…</p>
<p>Like previous person said, I took it into context and chose grasp.</p>
<p>the problem is, i would suspect ‘grasp’ if it is choice A. however, it’s not. so there is something to think about. any other words make sense, but when i chose ‘grasp’ i put it in the context, and found it click. that’s why i chose it</p>
<p>I hate to beat the dead horse but I felt the need to bring this up.</p>
<p>The one where there’s controversy between “inflated style” and other **** blah blah.
No one remembered (or at least said they did) that one of the choices was “inflammatory tone” which is what I put.
Don’t even know or care at this point if that’s right. I totally bombed CR.</p>
<p>inflammatory suggests anger. the tone of the writers was not angry.</p>
<p>how do we no if this was not an experimental?
did everyone have it?</p>
<p>@yettiddqq8: you might be right. like i said, i psychoanalyzed, and got one incorrect answer in the blue book because the answer was choice A. But i just do the practice tests, and found that this seems to be a pattern that vocab questions are often not A, so i used it for this question as well.</p>
<p>well you’re from canada so wouldn’t you have had a totally diff test because you’re international?</p>
<p>Hey guys I have two more questions:
was sardonic an answer to any question?
what were the answers to questions on the Sardon passage?
Thx.</p>
<p>no i have the same passages and math forsure</p>
