International SAT October 2012: Y U NO discuss?

<p>I just don’t see any analogy. She’s simply remembering something which brings backs certain feelings in her, there’s no real analogy.</p>

<p>She was lulled into a daze and thought about the french guy. She compares the feeling she had while in the daze with the one she had while watching the French guy. (**The same ** feeling she’d had then…)
Analogy is a cognitive process of transferring information or meaning from a particular subject (the analogue or source) to another particular subject (the target)</p>

<p>Why should this not fit? I wanna be clear here: I’m not trying to defend my answer blindly, like some other people here, I just wanna know what I did wrong. I think I’ll retake in December anyway. I know I can make 2400 damn it.</p>

<p>“Analogy is a cognitive process of transferring information or meaning from a particular subject (the analogue or source) to another particular subject (the target)”</p>

<p>Exactly. But there is no target. There is only her. For example, if I say: “A bird eats bugs like a child eats candies” - I’m transfering the meaning from the bird to the child (or better yet from the bugs to candies) - the bird is the analogue and the human is the target, but if I say ‘A bird eats bugs like a bird eats bugs’ or ‘the bird ate bugs and was full as it had felt after eating bugs yesterday’ - there is no analogy - what is the source? The bird? And what is the target? Also the bird? No, it just doesn’t work.</p>

<p>Besides, even if we do assume there is an analogy in the passage, it is far too subtle to be the correct choice, IMO if it even did exist, it would go contrast>personification>analogy</p>

<p>@miasanmia</p>

<p>so far you definitely have these wrong</p>

<ol>
<li>confound</li>
<li>humans see effortlessly and naturally</li>
<li>brothers take two different approaches to different resulst</li>
<li>qualifying and reinforcing</li>
<li>overblown</li>
</ol>

<p>answers we’re still discussing (but you are unlikely to be right about)</p>

<p>(6. contrast
7. exemplary skill
8. uncomprehending (this one is your only real possible chance of having one right))</p>

<p>Even assuming you have those last three right (which is extremely unlikely), you would pretty much need to have all the other CR questions right to stay above 700.</p>

<p>^Max,</p>

<p>Are these the correct answers to the questions?</p>

<p>Plus, weren’t confounded and invoked options of the same question? :/</p>

<p>@Maxyend</p>

<p>What is the invoke question?</p>

<p>may i ask some questions?

  1. humans see effortlessly and naturally
    why not BLABLA unsigted bla(sorry i dont really rmb)
    6.whats the question of it?</p>

<p>@Juanid, yes, these are the correct answers. And yeah, were the same questions, I corrected it.</p>

<p>@maxyend
here we go again with the thickness. Your list is as worthless now as it will be when you see your errors. But I dont wanna rouse anymore with you. lets keep harmony between us.</p>

<p>here are the ones that I’m right about</p>

<ol>
<li>humans relate more with sighted animals</li>
<li>brotheres express themselves through their playing</li>
<li>list more theories
5.reliable</li>
<li>painstaking attitude</li>
</ol>

<p>I definitely got invoke, so thats wrong. Contrast is right, so I’m wrong again there. </p>

<p>Now get your head out of your ass and start moving forward. I’m done with this.</p>

<p>@409391074, nr 6 was an incorrect answer to the confound question, I corrected it though.</p>

<p>it’s humans see effortlessly and naturally, because that’s why we have no difficulty believing animals can see too. We have to go through loads of trouble to do something similar to echolocation, so we have trouble believing bats do it so easily. The one about relating to sighted animals doesn’t really answer why we have trouble believing that bats use echolocation (in fact, we only relate to them because we see naturally).</p>

<p>Oh you corrected it? What the hell are you doing on this thread if you assume yourself to be completely right with all the answers?</p>

<p>What about the answers to the following:</p>

<ul>
<li>dream team</li>
<li>multiple eras vs different dancing styles</li>
<li>shift the focus of discussion etc</li>
</ul>

<p>Those are all wrong answers though, miasanmia.</p>

<p>@Maxyend
Thx
I got it TAT.
but how about texture or color in the bat (sth like that?)
whats your answer?</p>

<p>@Junaid123</p>

<p>-dream team was making about about amateurism, we think.
-we aren’t sure about this one, it seems 50/50 between those two answers (I went for multiple eras, but wasn’t sure about it)

  • it was shift the terms of discussion</p>

<p>Expect miasanmia to give you three different answers though.</p>

<p>you and I think very differently, but I’m not about to go into the scathing personal level where we defame each other monstrously with expletives and such. Those, are all right, unfortunately for you. You did, help me realize two of my errors though, so thank you for that. Otherwise, the others you attempted to “correct” are all right.</p>

<p>@409391074</p>

<p>I think I went for colour of the feathers. (or whatever that answer was)</p>

<p>why?
isn’t that talking about feeling?</p>

<p>^I don’t remember the exact question, sorry.</p>

<p>Was it “why did the author mention the bird of paradise?”</p>

<p>Then it would be because of the color of it’s wings. It’s the bats who possibly have textured wings perceived by the female bats in the same way we perceive the colours of the wings.</p>
