2011 January SAT: Critical Reading

<p>@Skittsie13</p>

<p>I don’t understand your post. The art critic section was CR. Thus, if you subtract that from your 4 total, you get 3 CR sections, which is the correct amount. The two back-to-back CR sections are both scored sections.</p>

<p>oh! ladisco, i remember that one too. i think i chose the answer that had the word “false” in the phrase</p>

<p>can someone post a consolidated list of answers also was one answer to a sentence completion transpose?</p>

<p>this might be a stupid question, but did anyone get “the house wasn’t really owned by harriet’s family” as an answer? i was rather lost (having not read the passage very carefully) :/</p>

<p>If you don’t have experimental CR, there’s only three CR sections, correct? I might be wrong. I could have sworn I had four, but I can’t exactly remember, nor can I think of any passages that we haven’t talked about here. However, I know I didn’t have the art critic one, so I was wondering if anyone else knows they had an experimental CR section without the art critic passage.</p>

<p>yes i had transpose. any other sentence completion answers out there?</p>

<p>What was the answer to the parenthetical documentation on the plaster of paris?</p>

<p>An instance/example to describe an incongruity?</p>

<p>@violinplayer i put that, but i’m not sure.</p>

<p>recurrent phenomenon… i think</p>

<p>I put openly displayed on the broadcast one, I don’t really remember what the question was I must not have read it too closely.</p>

<p>i put conscientious.</p>

<p>^chlorophyll?</p>

<p>@violinplayer - I put recurrent phenomenon. It wasn’t incongruous. </p>

<p>@LaDisco - it wasn’t that the house wasn’t owned by harriet’s family. the house was owned by them at one point, harriet was just having fantasies about it.</p>

<p>1) I put self-satisfied for the passage about the girl who wrote for her grandmother, but I realize the correct answer was conscientious because that can mean “careful”, and she stressed that she was careful in writing “my grandson” instead of “my brother” and so forth when writing as her grandmother.
2) In the Tribulation passage, the question about what “broadcast” meant - I was torn between “displayed openly” and “distributed widely.” My friends who took the test all put one of those two options. What do you guys think?
3) What was the answer in the Tribulation passage about what the chandelier was an example of?</p>

<p>can anyone help with answering this sat question? In a stack of six cards, each card is labeled with integers 0 through 5. If two cards are selected at random without replacement, what is the probability that their sum will be three?</p>

<p>@LaDisco</p>

<p>haha i put that too! people don’t think that’s right though. i just saw how it was all “a chimera, or fairy tale” so i thought it must not have existed. ahh. i think i screwed up the reading pretty badly</p>

<p>But the parantheses explained how the plaster of paris originated?</p>

<p>displayed openly; their is no insinuation of anything being “distributed” even in its most loose definition</p>

<p>@needsathelp - the answer to 2 is distributed widely. the items were distributed among family members. the answer to 3 was an example of a recurrent phenomenon. </p>

<p>@camperon - not the right forum bro</p>

<p>can someone explain why it’s “recurrent phenomena” for the chandelier? i mean…what does “recurrent phenomena” even mean</p>
