2011 January SAT: Critical Reading

<p>What would supporter of the 2nd theory, gate theory (not Descartes) say to the end questions? Was it new devices haven’t been developed so they can’t find the problems OR stressing? I said new devices since it’s the supporters of the 2nd theory. They could NOT answer why the brain feels pain with stimulus, so they are not going to say stressing. </p>

<p>ballet dancers was physical stimulus</p>

<p>for the young kid, i put virtuso and precocious. cuz precocious means smart at young age.</p>

<p>@hello We’re probably wrong >.> We’re the only ones who put that</p>

<p>About the directed/preformed thing:</p>

<p>Tests are usually preformed, not directed. The ETS usually appeals to test taker’s common sense so you can count on performed being the right answer</p>

<p>Could we have a list going with all the CONFIRMED answers?</p>

<p>the long pause showed her resolve. despite the fact that the words did not come to her naturally, she was determined to craft a formidable letter.</p>

<p>wait so did anyone get that cricket story relating to science? i think it must have been experimental, dang i did so well on that.</p>

<p>what did you say the purpose of the passage about a girl and the house called tribulation one?</p>

<p>also it was education for p1 to p2
and harmful for 1st Q</p>

<p>anyone else on the misunderstanding vs. development as a writer?</p>

<p>@violinplayer: No, I think we’re right… it was probably supposed to be a hard question, which only very few students get correct… and we are probably a part of those few students.</p>

<p>I put prodigy and not virtuoso for that one</p>

<p>anyone else on the misunderstanding vs. development as a writer? </p>

<p>development as a writer. its pretty much said in the italics</p>

<p>Ivycraze - virtuoso doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with age, but prodigy signifies exceptional for one’s age, while the boy was merely “talented.” So I’d say prodigy and exceptional.</p>

<p>pdawggy - Bottom of page 24 :)</p>

<p>@annoying: I really think the answer was the development.</p>

<p>@ hello, a higher percentage of thos top students are here on CC, I trust the consensus</p>

<p>why was it “piquant irony”??? that passage was so confusing</p>

<p>Sentence Completion:
made a historian compelled to _____ their motives from ______ instead of records?</p>

<p>i put surmise, deeds
this artist lamenting something
arrest and preserve
deleterious: vaccine/medicine. They were afraid it would be bad
NA <strong>(-) new, but </strong>(+)old eschew/adhere (not the propound one)- also not flout and relinquish
anomalous
Nutcracker: indelible
Virtuso/precocious or prodigy/exceptional?</p>

<p>-Other short passages:
Idyllic – sesame street
“fancy schools” and “apartment buildings to get into” reveal about the author’s attitude
Facing issues now

  • Pain:
    What was the purpose of the passage? using modern research for an old idea
    Why using bell phrase: reinstate a comparison
    Based off Lines whatever through whatever, what does descartes theory of pain state? purely physical reaction to bodily injury</p>

<p>What would supporter of the 2nd theory, gate theory (not Descartes) say to the end questions? Was it new devices haven’t been developed so they can’t find the problems OR stressing? I said new devices since it’s the supporters of the 2nd theory. They could NOT answer why the brain feels pain with stimulus, so they are not going to say stressing.<br>

  • Environmental:
    Conducted – preformed
    author of passage 2 would respond to the author of passage 1? evidence for a need of education
  • Paige - Lying about age guy
    birth certificate and the bible? supporting evidence
    What would the author of Passage 1 respond to the Satchel Paige’s claim “I did nothing to stop it.”
    I put like he contributed to the stories
    unnecessarily trivial
    conversational</p>

<ul>
<li>Ceeve girl and house
What was “resolute” about the Tribulations passages? She was so sure or something/determination?</li>
</ul>

<p>What did the example of the chandelier in Tribulation serve to do?
example of recurrent phenomenon</p>

<p>What did the Ceeve family believe the purpose of memories was?
Palatial
protect cherished beliefs</p>

<ul>
<li>Girl writing for G-ma
Why did the grandma learn to write love?
I put to contribute more directly to letter
“and i was off to the races” indicate?
b) the narrator enthusiastically went to work
depicting the formative stage of the development of the writer
self- satisfied (definitely, she was glad of taking over her g-ma’s live not conscientious: characterized by extreme care and great effort) she said she breezily took over
What was the purpose of the parenthesis (it talked about Californians and hockey)</li>
<li>to show the writer catering to her audience
used “8 1/2 by 11” paper?"</li>
</ul>

<p>Needed more space.
Resignation – it was not resolve. The question asked for the whole sentence, which included she then signed. (or was it two sentences?)</p>

<p>u guys sure development as a writer?</p>

<p>@hello : i think you might be wrong, because if it was you say it is, why would they use the word “logically.” obviously the answer is not in the passage, but can only be deduced with an argument based on the main idea of the passage, which was the gate theory. if it said how would one respond to x in lines so and so then your answer was what they were looking for, but they didnt. so im going w/ the consensus.</p>

<p>@wavegate
I thought it said education instead of regulation… hmm…</p>

<p>and for the ultimately trivial thing
doesn’t “unnecesarily competetive” make more sense?
since he called it a “game”</p>
