<p>Linguistics passage

  1. Outdated
  2. Unthinkable
  3. passage 1 explains a philosophy something and passage 2 expands on that</p>
345

<p>I personally don’t think constraint is right…
I picked that at first but changed my mind…
The passage only talked about an experience as a three year so “long standing constraints” didn’t make sense to me…</p>

346

<p>I’m pretty sure it was constraint. Why else would it mention that she liked to go out and explore? And why else would it mention walls and fences that she disliked?</p>

<p>I think the only real question is ostentatious vs. complacency and on that one I just don’t think they ever had an ostentatious manner i.e. pretentious etc.</p>

347

<p>Two questions. What was the answer for the “both passages have underlying assumptions that…” one?</p>

<p>And, do you remember one that asked how the passages related and the first one focused on the business with the second focusing on the individual?</p>

348

<p>I’ll join the chat in a bit guys. Almost finished with this movie!</p>

349

<p>I don’t really need the chat you guys can make one if you want. I just really want answers to my two questions^</p>

350

<p>What were the questions with the answers being Insidious influence (American TV) and Collective Culture?</p>

351

<p>What’s the chatroom?</p>

352

<p>SOMEONE ANSWER ME PLEASE! </p>

<p>What was the answer for the “both passages have underlying assumptions that…” one?</p>

<p>And, do you remember one that asked how the passages related and the first one focused on the business with the second focusing on the individual?</p>

353

<p>guys so which CR section is experimental?</p>

354

<p>@steve1sterling</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>What passage was this for? Do you remember the answer choices?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yeah, I got that as an answer.</p>

355

<p>The first one didn’t really focus in the business…the first paragraph introduced the word and its history, the second talked about how nepotism was bad, and the third did not talk about the impact in businesses but rather why businesses did it.</p>

<p>1/3 is not focused.</p>

356

<p>Does anyone remember the question and/or answers for social criticism? I don’t remember what I put</p>

357

<p>@damamanan
It definitely said she disliked fences. What would be the other plausible answer then?</p>

<p>@Oscarlany
The question asked about a quotation in regards to the whole creole passage. “Social” doesn’t really fit. I put the other answer.</p>

<p>@tbradsworth
Did you re-read the passage on Google Books? It talks about “Yet nepotism is the rule in family businesses, and it is usually accepted as “the way things are” by everyone.”</p>

<p>Then the next paragraph begins with: “Economists view nepotism as an obstacle to health change in business firms, promoting waste and inefficiency. And despite official nepotism policies, most large companies prefer to hire the relatives of existing employees, since the proven conduct of a relative is the best guide to the behavior of a prospective worker.”</p>

<p>And the first paragraph had “Most people today define the term very narrowly to mean not just hiring a relative, but hiring one who is grossly incompetent - though technically one would have to agree that hiring a relative is nepotism whether he or she is qualified or not.”</p>

<p>Not to be passive aggressive but: I think it was about business.</p>

358

<p>@justPhysics ok because I vaguely remember seeing social something and thinking that it didn’t seem right. I also said something about business for the nepotism passage</p>

359

<p>What were the questions with the answers being Insidious influence (American TV) and Collective Culture? I don’t think these are the right answers.</p>

360

<p>@justPhysics: The answer said something along the lines of “Passage 1 discusses the impact of nepotism on businesses, while Passage 2 discusses the impact on the beneficiary.”</p>

<p>Sure, the passage talked about business, but only that last paragraph discussed the impact of nepotism on business.</p>
