<p>why would you transform an already well off company?</p>
<p>i remember a question from the science passage asking about what the author is saying.it was like people getting overwhelmed by the scientific theories.
i think one of the answer was “defend a position”. was that right?</p>
<p>“Question changes from tone of article from the past to present” can anyone elaborate more on this question? and what about the very last question of the Rock and Roll passage? it was comparing two passages, and i put commercial something for passage2 tho i was not really sure btw this one and choice A. and what about the nomad passage? can we possibly reproduce almost all the questions w/ answers?</p>
<p>ok back to passages. I put feigned innocence cuz it makes teh most sense. I put illogical because americans had a revolution and now dont want one? thats messed up. </p>
<p>OK i put scientists have lack of funding to hinder their progress. it makes sense. scientists elavated? no… i mean it wasnt really supported even though the passage said peopel believed whatever the scientists said. </p>
<p>i also put past to present.</p>
<p>are you guys sure it was no one could tell teh impact in th 1950’s of rock?</p>
<p>
Lol, that was supported throughout the entire passage. Their was no mention of a lack of funding; in fact it stated that they were receiving extra funding at the end.</p>
<p>The first paragraph was not about the past. And the answer choice was past to the future. </p>
<p>The answer was not illogical because the point of the paragraph was that Americans were still conservative in their choices.</p>
<p>no but they were hindered by it right? thats why they got 3 times more money than other stuff combined. there aree very tricky.</p>
<p>i still agree with illogicqal but seems extreme ish. cautious has a solid point.</p>
<p>does anybody remember the SC where one of the answers was arduous</p>
<p>im pretty sure i got i put what you guys are saying, but is it “past to present” or was it “past to future” cuz i remember putting something about future, maybe im thinking about a question from the nomad article</p>
<p>Could someone explain why the nomads question’s answer is “past to future?” I thought that the questions set the tone for the rest of the discussion about the loss of diversity.</p>
<p>Also, I still disagree that the scientists have an elevated position. I read the whole paragraph a couple of times, and it said that in general scientists did whatever they wanted because society accepted it, not because society admired them…and it’s wording implied that that was the thinking of the past, and that now society wants more progress/justification for scientific conclusions etc. And then it talked about how a lack of funding prevented them from being able to “defend” all their conclusions for the public…?</p>
<p>And in general, the SAT never uses words in the answer choices that force you to stretch the reality; although society accepted and let pass the conclusions of the scientists in the past, it never stated that they actively admired the accomplishments of the scientists. I think “elevated” was too exaggerated of an adjective to be correct.</p>
<p>It DEFINITELY wasn’t lack of funding, it was either The scientific profession enjoys and elevated status or The scientists aren’t meeting the expectations of society. I chose the latter because their failing to meet expectations led to their increased accountability and the questioning of their ways that the whole passage was talking about. The scientific profession was starting to lose its elevated status which is why the author kept saying that they hadn’t been questioned “until recently”.</p>
<p>What were the choices to that question?</p>
<p>1st off, it was “future” becuze he started off by describing the nomads in the past and then started extroplating about what would happen if we would lose are biodiversity in the future… and it’s “scientist had an elevated status in society” cuz the passage describes how people blindly obliged to them with out challenging them; it’s not “not meeting expecations” cuz no where in the passage does it say what expectations people have of scientist and if those (non-mentioned) expectations where being met or not. all the passage said was that scientist had a monopoly on human inquiry</p>
<p>was the answer to the rock and roll passage (D)qualafying assertions or (E) dismissing tendencies</p>
<p>I agree with Spenny that society no longer views scientists as having an elevated position…all the “praise” was from the past so I’m not sure why everyone is arguing for elevated status.</p>
<p>Also, can anyone rewrite the question that had the answer “change of tone from past to future” or something? </p>
<p>Finally, can anyone explain why the two specializations questions compares simple vs. complex? How is the nomads’ way of life simple? Although it is more primeval, it still combines a variety of factors about knowledge of the environment, etc.</p>
<p>I put qualifying assertions. I think that’s the correct one. </p>
<p>xs0itg0esx, since you seem to be an expert, can you explain why the specialization question?</p>
<p>what were the other answer choices in the “simple complex” one?<br>
And i dont remember the exact question of the “future one” but it was the beginning of the second paragraph and started tlking bout the future</p>
<p>I put qualifying assertions. I think that’s the correct one. </p>
<p>xs0itg0esx, since you seem to be an expert, can you explain why the specialization question?</p>
<p>I think the answer choice was that he approved of the nomads’ way of life, while he disapporved of the scientists’ like specialization of life.</p>
<p>Was this “scientific method” passage the same as the nomad pasasge? It’s confusing me…haha</p>
