2011 January SAT: Critical Reading

<p>… wut, classicgirll?</p>

<p>there isnt anything about a burger and she was CAREFUL in not revealing her identity.
Where in the passage does it say that she was selfsatisfied?</p>

<p>I thought it was wary cuz she talked about how she said it was her grandmother’s son instead of her father or something i forgot but she was careful in not revealing anything that would say that she wrote the letter</p>

<p>Im probably wrong, general consensus wise</p>

<p>was idyllic one of the answers?</p>

<p>Yeah, what the **** was the tribulation passage. Made me my brain full of ****.</p>

<p>Do you guys remember questions about the Tribulation house?</p>

<p>How would the author of Passage 1 respond to the Satchel Paige’s claim “I did nothing to stop it.”</p>

<p>I put something like he contributed to the stories</p>

<p>I had self-satisfied, but looking over the definition for conscientious, it could be right.</p>

<p>I also put resignation because she seemed to be thinking for a long time before she finally gave up, so I believe it fits better than “resolve”.</p>

<p>@violinplayer:</p>

<p>there was something about a burger! it was about the rising cost of the burger or whatever.
basically, she just went on with the flow. at least that’s what i got from it.
aagh we’ll see when we get our scores back ><</p>

<p>yes, the mother talking about like life in alaska = idyllic</p>

<p>i had self satistified and resolve. it was more like she finally settled on that but I was between resolved and resignation.</p>

<p>I don’t think I put that Paige contributed to the stories…I don’t remember what I put</p>

<p>How about why she used “8 1/2 by 11” paper?</p>

<p>for the question after the idyllic question, what did you guys put?</p>

<p>it was something like… what does the “fancy schools” and “apartment buildings to get into” reveal about the author’s attitude?</p>

<p>“How about why she used “8 1/2 by 11” paper?”</p>

<p>Needed more space. Right before that sentence she said something of how her writing was cramped with the paper she previously used.</p>

<p>@goodatmath
about the paper: i said that it was too cramped for her to write in, or something like that.
there was not enough space.</p>

<p>Yes, 8.5 by 11 paper was need more space</p>

<p>did you guys say that paige thought the whole controversy about his age was “ultimately trivial” or “unnecessarily competitive”?</p>

<p>I said it was trivial</p>

<p>There were many clues indicating it could have been self-satisfied.</p>

<p>She was not satisfied with her grandmother’s letters, which caused her to begin padding the letters in the first place. </p>

<p>In direct quotations (or as close as I could remember), she dove into writing her own letters “without regret” and there was a word that said it was like “breezy” or something. I feel those words emphasize more satisfaction than conscientiousness.</p>

<p>Also, wary and conscientiousness are similar</p>

<p>no, tenors, she said it “cramped her style.” The answer was something about how she didn’t like the stationary. I guess “cramping her style” is a slang phrase the SAT thinks is common…very strange that they included it</p>

<p>deleterious as one of the early SC questions?</p>
