<p>I believe the similarity between dancers and extroverts is they have peculiar attraction to suffer because the author said dancers have a high rate of chronic injuries, (high implies particular, or peculiar) nothing suggests physical stimuli…</p>
<p>@ syndekit- yeah that’s the one. What was the exact question/ answer choices, do you know?</p>
<p>Syndekit, I agree with you with the acknowledge/polemical
The sentence went along the lines of this:
“He was known for his kindness and openmindedness [in something]; she found it hard to __<strong><em>, however, when he acted </em></strong> on a debate about his personal political belief.”
Or something like that…</p>
<p>0.o I definitely remember the question being closer to “[Some girl] found it difficult to _____ such-and-such’s respect for freedom of thought with his _______ political beliefs, which didn’t allow [something] for others.” Am I just out of my mind?</p>
<p>
Both the dancers and extroverts had a higher threshold of pain (than non-dancers and introverts) when they inserted their hands into cold water, so they were similar in their reaction to physical stimuli.</p>
<p>From earlier in this thread: “Jenna always admired Dave’s qualities of compassion and understanding, but could not [reconcile] that with his [dogmatic] political views which seemed to run counter to those values.” That’s closer to what I remember. =/</p>
<p>It might have said that, but how does that sentence show dogmatism? To me, polemical is more correct.
Polemical-one refuting or attacking a specific opinion or doctrine. (He’s refuting his own doctrine)
Dogmatic-arrogant assertion of unproved or unprovable principles (Don’t see how this answer is possible)
I’m 95% sure it’s “acknowledge/polemical”</p>
<p>I remember the first part, regardless of wording, establishing that the guy respected the freedom to arrive at different conclusions and to think differently… the second part established that the girl had to reconcile this with some dogmatic belief (a belief that’s based on assumption rather than reason and is unquestionably asserted), political or otherwise, with the implication that the his “dogmatic belief” included that he was right and left no room for disagreement (all others are wrong). That’s the best I can explain it. =/</p>
<p>the girl couldn’t accept his political view as it ran counter to his beliefs which were compassion and sth else.</p>
<p>there’s no indication of the guy being dogmatic in the sentece. i’m also pretty sure it’s polemical.</p>
<p>that vocab question, as far as i remember, was something along the lines of:
This girl could not ____ his friendly personality with this ____views about politics. </p>
<p>Its obviously not exactly the question, but the main gist.
I put reconcile and dogmatic instead of the polemical answer choice because:
Polemical means “a controversial argument, as one against some opinion, doctrine, etc. or
a person who argues in opposition to another; controversialist”</p>
<p>While dogmatic means stubborn about your views without really knowing the specifics.</p>
<p>Polemical Definition:1. A controversial argument, especially one refuting or attacking a specific opinion or doctrine.
2. A person engaged in or inclined to controversy, argument, or refutation.
adj. also po·lem·i·cal (–kl)
Of or relating to a controversy, argument, or refutation.</p>
<p>Dogmatic Definition: 1. Relating to, characteristic of, or resulting from dogma.
2. Characterized by an authoritative, arrogant assertion of unproved or unprovable principles.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure it’s dogmatic. It would be hard for her to “reconcile” (accept, make compatible, etc) with a person who arrogantly asserts unproved principles. I guess if she was very proud she wouldn’t “acknowledge” a controversial argument, or if she was wary of engaging in controversial topics or something. But Reconcile…Dogmatic seems to make more sense.</p>
<p>^^ agreed!</p>
<p>Hi fellow students, can anyone please recall the sentence /and other answer choices where Mirrors … Evoke was the answer?
thank you</p>
<p>also I believe the second word that was with polemical didn’t work in the context… does anyone recall it?</p>
<p>acknowledge…polemical</p>
<p>^
False. “She couldn’t acknowledge his beliefs…” doesn’t make sense</p>
<p>mannn, i was aiming for 750-800 for CR. Now i know i got at least 4 wrong!!!</p>
<p>The “arrest…preserve” one, i put something else, even though i knew what evanescence and everything meant - it was a stupid error.</p>
<p>Also the resolve, resignation, etc. one with the tone of the granma thing, i put resolve, and it was resignation :(</p>
<p>Also, the tone of the girl, i put wary and not self-satistfied :/</p>
<p>Lastly, the anomalous vocab one I mixed up that with amorphous and immediately crossed it out. THe rest didn’t make sense, except for mercurial which i knew meant changeable, which kind of made sense. Now i realize it was such a stupid mistake since anomaly and anomalous is the same word except noun/adj differences. </p>
<p>:( 
:,(</p>
<p>i probably got other easy sentence completion and passage ones wrong too. this has made me pretty despondent…</p>
<p>Some people think that this curve will allow you to get 800 with 3 or 4 wrong, so you may be fine. So far I’m -0/-1/-2, based on stuff people have brought up. I just remembered my first passage was about chlorophyll or something. Can we discuss questions from that? I thought it was challenging yet no one has brought it up.</p>
<p>thanks for your sanguine outlook on things, but i doubt the curve would be that good. maybe a -2 800 at most. And wasn’t the chlorophyll a short passage? i don’t remember it too well…:/</p>
<p>To be honest, I’m surprised that I’ve found one question so far that I’ve gotten wrong; it definitely felt like I did a lot worse. I probably may have missed one or two others, though, so I’m not getting my hopes up too early.</p>
<p>me neither… it was my very first thing on the SAT… you’d think the recency effect would have helped me out in remembering my first few questions but no cigar…</p>
