2011 January SAT: Critical Reading

<p>surprise: novel, not descartes’ credibility. that wasn’t the reason why the new theory was shocking.</p>

<p>@mt101101

  1. “Fancy schools” represented the author’s own concerns
  2. “arrest and preserve” were the answers to the question about the artist lamenting the evanescence of beauty
  3. “betray” meant reveal
  4. The surprise was because the explanation was novel. In the context, that seems to be the only choice that makes sense.
  5. missing 5 would get you lower 700s, missing 7 is like higher 600s.</p>

<p>“fancy schools” and “apartment buildings to get into” reveal about the author’s attitude
i said something along the current dilemmas she is facing. She wants to get her daughter into fancy schools and has difficulty finding a place to move to. In Alaska, she would not have these issues.</p>

<p>Oh well, we put what we put! We can’t change it now</p>

<p>Let’s just drop the conscientiousness vs. self-satisfied question for now haha the debate’s not going to end</p>

<p>garfieldliker: As far as I know, no you cannot. However, you can ask them to check your score sheet again after you receive your score if you believe that something went wrong. That of course, costs money.</p>

“fancy schools” i thought it was the flair about urban cities or something along those lines. edit: which i guess is now wrong, though i dont remember any other plausible choice</p>

<p>arrest and preserve was the answer to a painter’s attitude toward the evanescence of beauty</p>

<p>betray i put reveal </p>

<p>surprise was novelty</p>

<p>5-7 wrong is about 660-760, prone to scaling. from the official sat book</p>

<p>Oh my god. What were answer choices for the question about what the chandeliers served to do? I definitely didn’t put recurrent phenomenon…</p>

<p>@garfield you can, just pay 20 i think
um 5-7 prob 700</p>

<p>so consensus needed on 4 questions: (here are my thoughts)
Resignation – it was not resolve. The question asked for the whole sentence, which included she then signed. (or was it two sentences?)</p>

<p>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</p>

<p>Virtuso/precocious or prodigy/exceptional? ok i’m still sticking to virtuso </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.</p>

<p>What were the choices for why the G-ma wrote “Love”
Also, the “blank” of beauty means the phasing out of beauty. Even those she lamented the phasing out of beauty, she did not “arrest” or stop it. Rather, she “neglected” it.</p>

<p>@garfieldliker
in fact you CAN ask for hand grading. It costs 50 dollars, unless they find out something was wrong with the machine, then you get the money back. If you had alot of smudgey things, first ask for the question and answer service and if you know you answered something right but they marked it differently, then get the handscore service. In order to get the handscore service, you actually have to call college board.</p>

<p>i still don’t get the development of an author one? i put a misunderstanding over how to write letters. like in the italics it talked about her childhood experience with her grandma. the beginning talked about her first transaction for cookies and it just went from there. then it got into how the grand daughter silently disagreed with her grandmother. she asked, “Is that all?” when she was brief.</p>

<p>if thepassage were about their misunderstanding, it would be focused on what exactly the misunderstanding was. instead, its mostly based on the author and her writnig</p>

<p>GUYS AND GIRLS:</p>

<p>It is self-satisfactory because she said, “with no guilt, and breezily wrote the…”</p>

<p>And the tone of that paragraph was quite confident as if she had self-satisfaction.</p>

<p>FANCY SCHOOL: the answer is challenge.</p>

<p>Do you guys remember something about liking someone’s qualities… but could not <em>blank</em> because they <em>blanked</em> a political party completely opposite of those qualities?</p>

<p>I put something/polemical… </p>

<p>help?</p>

<p>@garfieldliker for the “Love” i put she wanted to take control of her letters
and the painter EVEN THOUGH she lamented the evanescence etc., etc., she still arrested the beauty. contrast</p>

<p>@princetonpower yeah, i need the answer to that, too. i put the other one… not polemic…</p>

<p>@princetonpower12: I put reconcile/dogmatic</p>

<p>@princetonpower12
you put acknowledge/polemical. I thought long and hard about this one. But “acknowledge” just doesn’t make sense in the context of the sentence. You don’t “acknowledge” something with their polemical support of a political creed. However, the answer is reconcile/dogmatic, since you can reconcile something with their dogmatic support of a political creed.
Hopefully that made sense…</p>

<p>I also put reconcile/dogmatic</p>

<p>reconcile/dramatic. “acknowledge… with” seemed strange to me, and reconcile fits perfectly</p>

<p>Doesn’t “it” refer to the EVANESCENCE of beauty and not BEAUTY itself?</p>
