passage two more personally</p>
<p>I agree with this^, but what does “passage two more personally” mean?</p>
<p>its flippant and mildly ridiculous</p>
<p>what was the question with Acquiesce in it?</p>
<p>I disagree with the whole “flippant” crap. She wasn’t intending to be disrespectful; she just wanted to tell it like it is. Frank is my answer.</p>
<p>The one about the author of passage two describing the trend of gaining fame and becoming a celebrity himself.</p>
<p>to 1a1</p>
<p>i think its insincere sentiments and not inflated - they never said it was INFLATED , she just said it was incorrect</p>
<p>@SkyHigh - do you remember what that answer choice said about Passage 1?</p>
<p>With the flippant - its not HER intentions, its what the reporters thought</p>
<p>she said that the reporters didnt believe her</p>
<p>If you were the reporter, you would think shes being disrespectful</p>

<p>it’s def shamelessly conceited</p>
<p>i dont think that it was critique a trend</p>
<p>@ashleykim91: The sentence was: “So, on occasion, I have gone about tooting my own little paper horn, doing book tours, submitting to the comically pompous self-importance of interviews, and doing so many of the other things that Edmund Wilson didn’t think twice about refusing to do.”</p>
<p>Notice “comically pompous self-importance” - he regards the whole celebrity culture as mildly ridiculous.</p>
<p>@cebollas: Wasn’t the author critiquing the trend of celebrity hype by listing serious debate, serious politics as things being pushed aside in modern society.</p>
<p>I agree with critique a trend, but I still think it was conceited. I think the author new that he had to be conceited to further his career, and thus used the expression to describe that. The situation is mildly ridiculous, but the purpose of the phrase “toot my own little paper horn” was to show that he had been conceited. </p>
<p>At least, that’s what I think…</p>
<p>i think it should be mildly ridiculous because he himself seems to be obliged to acquiescing about the celebrity thing, and he’s not so proud about it at all that he can be conceited. Btw, what does the author of passage I think about passage 2? something like " decreases the authority of the publisher?"</p>
<p>The real issue with shamelessly conceited/ mildly ridiculous is the question. Does anyone remember the wording?</p>
<p>Wanted the tone of the speaker; the shameless conceited tone would not fit.</p>
<p><em>sigh</em> this is why i hatee the cr section…many people can argue different answer choices…</p>
<p>but i think i said conceited for the horn tooting one.</p>
<p>i said mildly rediculous</p>
