January 2009 SAT Critical Reading Discussion

<p>^Hopefully an old painting by a famous painter.</p>

<p>old master is a painting lost and found in an odd place</p>

<p>I put famous paintings not earlier recognized.
There was no reference to location.</p>

<p>yesss i put anachronism … and did we decide if it was analogy?</p>

<p>for the old master i was stuck between whether it was a painter or a painting but i went with the one that it was a painting</p>

<p>yea famous paintings not earlier recognized</p>

<p>im 100% sure its a painting just found. there was reference to findign it in an atiic etc.</p>

<p>I said it was the one with like paintings of famous artists? or something like that… I think I got it wrong though… I did terrible on CR, a lot of the reading passages got me pretty bad… especially the scientific method/sea nomads one. I did seem to do pretty decently on vocab though.</p>

<p>i also put famous painting not earlier recognized</p>

<p>doesn’t this mean it is a painting by a famous person…but no one knew it existed until now…thus it is perfect for forgery</p>

<p>true … it definitely wasnt the odd place one right? i think i crossed that choice outt</p>

<p>overly complex? I thought the it was something …praised.</p>

<p>It’s not Odd place…no location reference in the paragraph although there was a reference AFTER that quote in the passage.</p>

<p>Also an Old Master by definition is an old famous painting and the “famous painting not earlier recognized” is the closest thing that works.</p>

<p>i agree with zingsong…anybody else?</p>

<p>the two short paragraphs on caves:
what was it that both passages had in common?
i think i said something about their mentioning of new discoveries…?</p>

<p>^ i think i put that there are still things left to be discovered (C?)</p>

<p>New discoveries is correct
the other one was the plethora of species within the caves.</p>

<p>pretty sure Old Master was a painting found by a famous painter, anyone agree</p>

<p>i think it is painting found in odd place</p>

<p>more importantly i cant figure out my exp… i had a math section with only 16 questions could that have been it. my CR’s i remember were painting/nomad/rock and the weirder of my writings was uncertain future with the woman astronaut</p>

<p>What was the answer to the last CR section #14. It took a line from both passages and asked what they both did. (rock and roll section)… also what was the eggcorn SC of that section; and the 6th SC???</p>

<p>“Old Master” (or “old master”) is a term for a European painter of skill who worked before about 1800, or a painting by such a painter. googled it</p>

<p>since it couldnt be a person it is a painting by a famous painter</p>
