January 2009 SAT Critical Reading Discussion

<p>yeah derided/meddling is right</p>

<p>derided/meddling here as well.</p>

<p>so is “simply” basically?</p>

<p>Basically was my answer for the ‘simply’ question.</p>

<p>Derided/meddling for the dictator one.</p>

<p>^ for me as well</p>

<p>i wrote simply was foolishly… lol thought foolishly made more sense than the more obvious answer, basically… what did everyone put for that one?</p>

<p>^Basically.</p>

<p>Basically sounded kinda of middle-schoolery to me, but its the only one I thought worked in context. I believe the actual passage was structured something like “We <em>simply</em> don’t have enough blah blah to do blah blah blah”</p>

<p>damn… haha</p>

<p>i thought by reading the sentence before and after you can conclude that they were foolish in whatever the sentence was talking about</p>

<p>There’s no way it was foolishly.</p>

<p>i don’t even remember a passage about organic food… wait was that a short passage that also talked about the environment??</p>

<p>wow then i bombed this section.</p>

<p>Just to clear up on experimental sections:</p>

<p>Rock n Roll was not experimental.
Sea nomads were not experimental.
Paintings and the wry amusement thing was not experimental.</p>

<p>This is because I had math experimental and i got these three passages for CR.</p>

<p>Bombast or banter?</p>

<p>I looked up the definitions but forgot what the question was, lol.</p>

<p>I said banter. I think it was something about friends teasing each other?</p>

<p>it’s banter</p>

<p>hey does anyone remember what the answer was to that rock n roll question where there were two choices that were “illogical” and “malcontented”?</p>

<p>i put malcontented</p>

<p>the question was like what were the people in america’s view … and when you went back to the line it was about how hated revolution</p>

<p>It was definitely illogical. America was derived from revolution yet contemporary Americans fear revolution.</p>
