International SAT October 2012: Y U NO discuss?

<p>@AimingAt750
I do agree with u that often 2 passages will argue each other’s points
but do u remember a specific line from the second passage that shows the author is criticizing such attitudes as the first author has in terms of taking the global warming issue seriously?</p>

<p>Was ‘hidden motivations’ an answer for a question of the chinese artist passage?</p>

<p>I don’t remember the passage itself…</p>

<p>I believe there was an option with “hidden motivations” in the question about the Chinese artist, asking why she kept her doodling a secret.</p>

<p>any idea if that was the right answer?</p>

<p>Mostly people chose the answer that she didn’t want her husband to find out that she abandoned calligraphy.</p>

<p>“Doodlings, she thinks of them. Her little worthless scribbles: tiny images of fruits, flowers, monkey faces and occasional dragon, topped with Qian Ma’s head. These are figures that almost of their own impetus bud and unfurl in the blank margins of Yuliang’s copybook these days.”</p>

<p>I don’t understand how can we get to the answer from these lines.</p>

<p>It was the only answer that made sense, especially in light of the other passage regarding how she was sure he would notice the decline in her caligraphy skills.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the SC question that had “prosaic” as an answer choice?</p>

<p>@maxyend
are you aware at all of the word assurance? you are starting to seriously **** me off. The passage there does not at all focus on the french painter’s skill.</p>

<p>@aimingat750
it was overblown.you overinterpreted the passage</p>

<p>@maxyend</p>

<p>i dont know how your flow of logic works. you’re in a constant state of denial. exemplary skill is OVERBLOWN. Painstaking makes a lot of sense. Assurance, refers to attitude. </p>

<p>Man, I’m hoping for you, but you may wanna stay away from sharp objects the day you look at your test scores.</p>

<p>anyone heading for the November test?ruined on this test,my cr was a mess…</p>

<p>Can you two stop that stupid fight?.. Let’s focus on maths now I’ll make a list of the questions we already discussed and the ones I remember and everyone can chip in anything they still remember.</p>

<p>Hey guys, i had 2 writing sections(except the last section):section2 and section5?6?
Do you know which one was experimental?</p>

<p>Please answer me…i aced the first one and massed up the second</p>

<p>@Miasanmia</p>

<p>the exact line was:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>(they changed priest for painter)</p>

<p>That is about skill, not attitude. (it’s the assurance of the meaty hands, not of the painter).</p>

<p>So, I’ve proved my point. I know I’m right about the others as well. The only two questions so far I’m slightly worried about are the swing dancer question (multiple eras?) and the incensed one (although I’m pretty sure about that one).</p>

<p>If there’s anyone in denial, it’s obviously you. Loads of people have corrected your mistakes yet you keep hammering on with statements like “sometimes the majority is wrong”. Just give up.</p>

<p>Source for the passage:</p>

<p>buddy, im sorry. Deft modfies assurance, the main word of the passage. Also, assurance of the meaty hands? Not the painter? To whom do the hands belong to? You have looked way over the intent of the passage. Yes there is one hint of the painter’s skill but no where would it be “exemplary”. Painstaking attitude, is correct. You’re down and out.</p>

<p>Also, the majority can be wrong. The stupid can be wrong as well. in this case, its you.</p>

<p>Are you really this stupid?</p>

<p>ok lets return to a more civil and sound debate here. in which part of the passage would you find “exemplary” anywhere? it is way too vague for such an assumption. Painstaking and deft are much more close in definition than you claimed it to not be. Assurance is attitude of the painter.</p>

<p>The fact that she went from a studious manner of painting to a “deft”, quick, “spontaneous” manner of painting after thinking about it.</p>

<p>Seems like she was tapping in his way of painting, doesn’t it?</p>

<p>I still don’t get how you can even think “painstaking attitude” could work for “deft assurance” even if it was talking about the painter. Painstaking would mean he had to work extremely hard to make everything perfect, not quick and neat, which is what deft means.</p>

<p>By the way, I expect to see you in this thread on the 25th.</p>

<p>BTW, why does the approach changed from studied to spontaneous? I thought latter would be sth like abstract since she only transform her thought and relentlessly thought about orchid…</p>
