January 2009 SAT Critical Reading Discussion

<p>it said they shared the same pleasure/humor or something
idk i guess it can go either way</p>

<p>i promise this is the last comment i will make on this question…but i cant resist. yes, the general atmosphere is sardonic and amusing! thats because its from the perspective of the artist laughing at his clients…and the question specifically asked about the attitude of hte clients…im done.</p>

<p>Overall, I thought the rock n’ roll passage was the worst.</p>

<p>I think its funny how they give us one minute to solve questions that a hundred of us collaborating for hours can’t decide on.</p>

<p>i assure you zenythz…that ive said a lot dumber. if youre going to use that superlative use it right</p>

<p>Lol…yay, I’ve succeeded! Van: your opinion was completely valid. Just wanted to see if you would really leave after that comment or if you would find yourself unable to resist the stinging comment. =p</p>

<p>more controversial CR questions now. BESIDES the silly wry v. feigned. please.</p>

<p>oh haha i see…i was just like, whoa my first case of internet bullying! but well played</p>

<p>“my first case of internet bullying” Lmao. Van: what do you think you got on CR section anyways? I really want 710+. Math is pretty much assured 750+ and writing 760+.</p>

<p>well i kind of want a 2300+…and was hoping that id do well enough on CR that id have leeway on writing and math-- i really dont know, hopefully 770+?</p>

<p>does anyone remember the question with beguiled as the answer chioce?
also did anyone have levity as a vocab choice? or was that experimental?</p>

<p>I remember one with beguiled. I didn’t choose that answer.</p>

<p>Don’t remember levity.</p>

<p>Someone should make a consolidated list of the most controversial Jan 2009 CR questions.</p>

<p>er i meant what was the question itself…
i think i missed it =/</p>

<p>does anyone remember the vocab one that said
sth. about interdisciplinary approach and _________importance?
I had know idea what it was… I think the choices included
invoke-marginal, extoll, ignored… etc Anyone?</p>

<p>I selected tout and paramount</p>

<p>I also chose tout and paramount.</p>

<p>anyone remember the question with “what does ‘simply’ mean closest to”?</p>

<p>And there was also one that said “The dictator _________ democracy as the ________ of ordinary citizens in government affairs.”</p>

<p>I wrote…derided…meddling</p>

<p>I think I chose basically.</p>
