<p>I’m trying to remember the other vocabulary questions that we didn’t go over. The only reason I even remembered the arduous one was because of the SAT problem of the day.</p>
<p>Can anyone remember putting these answers down for the vocab section:</p>
<p>varied
absolutist…indecisive
nonplussed
moribund
proximity
(something)…meddling (sentence was about a dictator)
amateur</p>
<p>Yes I remember putting all of those down, except I’m not sure if I said moribund but it was the correct answer.</p>
<p>could someone explain to me why moribund is the answer, and not avant garde?</p>
<p>They were talking about how the business had previously been dead (moribund) and lately it had attracted new customers. Avant-garde means new and inventive. Does anyone else remember the other answer choices other than moribund and avant-garde.</p>
<p>About moribund, when I read the sentence they didn’t really mention the company flourishing in profits all of a sudden, they just mentioned that their products appealed to a wider range.</p>
<p>So I put avant-garde as a guess.</p>
<p>Hm. Your answer makes sense but I still think moribund was the correct answer. We would have to see the original question to really know though. Either way it’s only one question and I’m sure you did fine.</p>
<p>I think that two of the other answer choices were auspicious and munificent. Neither of which makes sense in that sentence.</p>
<p>And spurious, that was another choice.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, and I remember putting equals…subservient for a question about some actors and a director</p>
<p>Thanks. I’m pretty sure I had munificent at first, reread the sentence, and changed it to moribund.</p>
<p>^ You’re welcome. That’s always a good feeling.</p>
<p>I think the question was not as much about the company as it was about the CEO. It was talking about how Jung transformed to company, which was previous __________, into one that was doing really well. (basically)</p>
<p>ro51092, thanks! that’s exactly my reasoning! I hope it’s correct. praying…</p>
<p>was one of the vocab question “averse to introspection”?</p>
<p>^ yeah .</p>
<p>I mean, I’m still probably wrong, but that was just my logic.</p>
<p>Sometimes these sentences are really ambiguous. I mean, you could plug in more than one choice and it could still make sense. </p>
<p>Silly Collegeboard.</p>
<p>No, it cannot be avant-garde since the adjective was describing the company in the past, in comparison with the success of today.</p>
<p>Yeah, so it was like experimental and stuff in the past, whereas it appeals to a wider audience today.</p>
<p>You know what, I’m reading too far into it.</p>
<p>YES, i remember putting all of those down.</p>
<p>Life is good!</p>
<p>I think someone should make a consolidated list of these answers…
there are like 50 pages to look through haha</p>
<p>what about “defend a position” for one of the reading questions?</p>
<p>For the company/moribund question, I thought the sentence read something along the lines of:</p>
<p>“Jung transformed a failing company, RECENTLY CONSIDERED ____ , into a very prolific/popular one.”</p>
<p>Or am I just… tripping…?
I thought I clearly read the word “recently,” so instead of “moribund”, which is what the company would have been considered previously, I put “auspicious” for its recent considerations…?</p>
