<p>does anyone remember what the sentence was in the sentence completions that gave the answer " increasing awareness"?</p>
<p>I am confident that it is “distributed widely” because if I remember correctly, the passage stated that the (materials?) were broadcast throughout the house.</p>
<p>^ and the houses of aunts, uncles, and other family members.</p>
<ol>
<li>Hardy</li>
</ol>
<p>What was the vocab question with this answer?
Some one please answer! I’m freaking out T.T</p>
<p>Can someone please post the updated compiled answers for both passages and sentence completions?</p>
<p>Something about wolves being hardy.</p>
<p>azen186, it was the vocab question asking about wolves’ ability to survive in harsh environments. the answer was “Hardy” relax haha</p>
<p>OMG I put that! Thank you so much, you guys are awesome! ^o^</p>
<p>Oh! I had a question about something from the gateway theory passage. It was something about why the theory was so shocking or surprising. The choices included things like “it was shocking that it hadn’t been previously proposed,” “it was extremely novel,” and “it ran counter to people’s everyday experiences.”</p>
<p>What was the answer to this one?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>azen186</p>
<p>apparently it was novel, but idk why</p>
<p>Oh. I put that, but it was seriously a stupid question I thought. :</p>
<p>what about the physics passage?it was short.</p>
<p>physics passage is an experimental. i didnt have it</p>
<p>IIRC, the floral thing was due to space. Attempts to rationalize any other answer would be guilty of overanalyzing the passage, which doesn’t seem to be the norm on the SAT. Let’s try to keep things civil, seems like people are getting a bit too worked up over the one question.</p>
<p>@Azen: I put novel (process of elimination), but in retrospect, I would agree with you; it is a stupid question.</p>
<p>^very true</p>
<p>there was a consensus that surmise, deeds is correct. What was the pair ???, accomplishments and why is that wrong?</p>
<p>after looking back, it looks like self satisfied and more space are correct. I picked floral design but i have been convinced the other way.</p>
<p>email or contact etc and tell them about the skimpy vs flora pattern if u guys wanna be sure what is right.</p>
<p>So after reading a few exchanges I have something to add regarding the space vs. floral pattern argument.</p>
<p>The basis of the argument for the answer choice regarding her dislike of the floral pattern is the phrase “cramping her style” referring to her negative reaction to the floral pattern. The phrase, however, can also refer to the fact that she likes to write a lot but she’s being limited by the stationery she is given, thus “cramping her style”, which is consistent with the definition some of you cited earlier:</p>
<p>Definition: limit someone; not let someone be free in their actions</p>
<p>Explanation: Used when speaking about another person or situation that makes someone feel uncomfortable and limited in their usual lifestyle.</p>
<p>The fact that she is being limited by the size of the floral paper can certainly “cramp her style,” as she is unable to write as freely or as much as she would have if she had used the 8x11 paper. The other indicators such as “skimpy” and the fact that she pulled out a stack of paper also support the answer choice that said she needed more space.</p>
<p>I doubt Collegeboard would make a question that forces the test taker to read so deeply into the meaning of “cramping her style” to get the answer, especially since it’s generally a colloquialism. Just my 2 cents.</p>
<p>there was a consensus that surmise, deeds is correct. What was the pair ???, accomplishments and why is that wrong?</p>
<p>look authors are very coherent people, they want to express their thought clearly, if the author wanted to say that she did not like the floral stationary, the author would say that she took out some “regular white” paper not thumping a “8.5 x 11 stack of paper”. The answer is need more space, end of argument, this is the consensus like it or not.</p>
<p>Further evidence:
She laid the small, pastel sheet before me, smoothing it out; a floral motif was clotted across the top of the page and bled down one side. The paper was so insubstantial even ballpoint ink seeped through the other side. “That’s OK,” she would say. “We only need one side.”</p>
