<p>I put natural. I could see why you’d say heartfelt but I think natural was the best choice.</p>
<p>the ensuing explanation was all about how it arose from concern that the children might be harmed, and that they were sincere in their desire to protect the children.</p>
<p>nothing “explicitly disproves” natural, but to be the correct answer, it needs something to explicitly prove it, which natural did not. And heartfelt did.</p>
<p>And not even secondary or tertiary definitions of genuine ever really mean natural.</p>
<p>I thought the parents were genuinely concerned about their children’s well being; they thought censorship would be harmful.
Therefore, they are naturally concerned.
I don’t think the definitions need to match in order to necessarily remove an answer choice.</p>
<p>Genuine
1596, from L. genuinus *“native, natural,”</p>
<p>I don’t see how you make the leap from your first statement to your assertion that it was “natural”; this seems incongruous.
the first statement demonstrates sincerity IMO, which better squares with heartfelt.</p>
<p>i also think it was heartfelt…i don’t see how you go from sincerity to natural</p>
<p>Parents are naturally concerned about their children.
Can you support heartfelt?
Thanks</p>
<p>I thought it was basic biology…</p>
<p>WannabeActuary: I want to know how you got sincerity in the first place. I know I don’t score consistently well in critical reading (my most recent practice tests have ranged from 720 to 800), but I thought that the passage wasn’t written to emphasize the sincerity of the parents’ feelings. I thought it was written in a well-all-parents-want-to-protect-their-children-because-that-is-the-natural-thing-to-want kind of way. Hopefully you understand what I’m trying to say :D</p>
<p>well the definition of heartfelt is “deeply or sincerely felt” so i would say that’s pretty good support</p>
<p>@burger
caring about your kids is being sincere…imo
i could definitely be wrong there’s no doubt about that, i am just giving my opinion</p>
<p>I know this is a bit out of the blue but I think that the answer to the teacher question for the censorship passage was they were renouncing their own favorite works because in the line it said that they were self-censoring.-<strong><em>-</em></strong>_- = line face centipede.</p>
<p>Alright I’m trying to turn opinion, so hear me out.
If you were a parent and you sent you children a letter, would you close it with “sincerely” or “love”?
Love because it’s the NATURAL thing to do.
I just tried to pick the most logical answer and natural appeared to be that answer.
Additionally, I thought heartfelt is commonly used to describe appreciation
(i.e. heartfelt appreciation) whereas natural is used to describe basic elements of a person or object.
Just my two cents…</p>
<p>See, the key word you used was LOGICAL…using logic on the SAT CR is not the right thing to do, you have to base it only on exactly what is on the test. The passage mentioned nothing implying a natural response, it implied a heartfelt response because it was something they actually believe in, CONTRARY to the people in the first passage who just wanted to gain control over them</p>
<p>and natural didn’t fit in well in the sentence</p>
<p>just my two cents, I’m pretty sure the answer is heartfelt</p>
<p>It said “their motives were natural.”
How does that not fit in the sentence?</p>
<p>I mean genuine</p>
<p>Yes, protecting your children; it’s natural.</p>
<p>For the passage comparing nonfiction writing to fiction writing, what adjective best described the fiction characters that nonfiction characters lacked?</p>
<p>I said Romantic. One definition of it is “Of, characterized by, or suggestive of an idealized view of reality,” so i’m fairly sure it’s right, just looking for a second opinion.</p>
<p>^ experimental</p>
<p>Oh ok then</p>
