<p>Actually, wouldn’t that help you remember the last few? Though maybe not there either, if the length of the test got to you at all, like for most of us.</p>
<p>woops… I meant to use the umbrella term, serial positioning effect, but specifically primacy… though recency did appear to work its charms as I completely forgot all the questions from the last writing section and all the ones people have brought up have seemed new to me</p>
<p>Acknowledge means “recognize the existence of,” so it does make sense
The key is the next word either “dogmatic” or “polemical”
The question was in no way asserting anything
I am now 99% sure “acknowledge/polemical” was the correct answer.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember what the ecotourism questions were? I was pretty stuck on some of those questions!</p>
<p>And also, that one question in the grandma passage about the floral paper cramping her style, I thought that it was because the author didnt like the floral paper, because the phrase " cramp my style" means something that is infriging upon your personal style. I know we already talked about this question, but what was the consensus?</p>
<p>Consensus was that it was because she needed more space.</p>
<p>Also, regarding the reconcile/dogmatic question, I am 100% sure that it was dogmatic. Saying she couldn’t “acknowledge” his beliefs just didn’t make sense in the limited context.</p>
<p>Blurbs,
many people think that it was she needed space, and many thing she hated the design. The only thing we can do is wait for the results.</p>
<p>Hey- I have a question about the Grandma & Grandaughter story… the one where the grandmother asked her daughter to write the letters for her.</p>
<p>Does anyone know the actual full story? I really enjoyed that excerpt, I would love to read the full novel if there is one… it seems like a good read. I looked for the author or title on the actual SAT test but I couldn’t find it.</p>
<p>Someone posted a link to the article somewhere in the last 85 pages but I’m not sure which so you might have to do a little digging.</p>
<p>it had to be the size of the card, why in the world would the passage then refer to the size of the card (8.5 by 11, i think).</p>
<p>i put dogmatic, did more people put dogmatic than polemical?</p>
<p>Well the size could just be indicative of the fact that it was regular-sized paper.
Earlier in the passage I think she mentioned how the stationery was too thin so she could only write on one side though.</p>
<p>Both arguments make sense to me. One stated that the word “skimpy” made it seem like she needed thicker paper. The other described “cramping my style” as a dislike of the floral pattern. Both seem very reasonable…good old ambiguous college board.</p>
<p>In the passage, it was mentioned that the girl thought the “floral patterns” “cramped her style”.</p>
<p>The size of the paper was not even mentioned as a reason- the girl was turned off by the floral patterns, so she resorted to using regular paper. I don’t think it was the size that mattered.</p>
<p>yeah I see how the size makes sense, but I think because that question specifically referred to the “cramp my style”, it’s because she didnt like the design. </p>
<p>Also, for the Tribulations passage, did we come to a consensus about the broadcast question? Whether it was displayed openly or distributed widely?</p>

<p>There, found it again.</p>
<p>Thank you so much for posting the story! :)</p>
<p>Okay looking at the “cramp my style” part again, im pretty sure its that the author ran out of space</p>
<p>“I abandoned her skimpy floral stationery which badly cramped my style, and thumped down on the table a stack of ruled 8 1/2 x 11.”</p>
<p>Directly quoted from the text. Nothing is mentioned about the author running out of space.</p>
<p>how could the design of the card, “cramp her style”? What could “cramp her style” or restrict her style would be the little space available to write.</p>
