January 2013 SAT I CR (Japanese Rice, and others)

<p>Interspersed is the correct answer for that vocab</p>

<p>The sentence was something like “The professor _________ personal/humorous anecdotes throughout his lecture to make them more interesting” (paraphrased)</p>

<p>Dissected obviously does not make sense here while interspersed does.</p>

<p>@ daveeed the hot dog question was in the Rice passage. It was an example where the kid wanted a hot dog and the mom was making sushi or something. She put the hot dog in the nori/seaweed as sort of a compromise. I think this was the collision of cultures question.</p>

<p>the sentence included the word “dividing” which made me to put dissect</p>

<p>“The professor ___ his speech in an efficient manner, dividing the context into his personal/humorous anecdotes throughout his lecture to make them more interesting.” </p>

<p>More like this, I guess </p>

<p>Intersperse does make sense to me, yet there is no clue in the sentence, meaning you have to put intersperse only through elimination process </p>

<p>Any other opinions?</p>

<p>Do we remember roughly what the sentence was for the indefatigable one and what some of the other answer choices were? Just curious because I barely even remember seeing it haha.</p>

<p>I can’t actually remember the whole sentence, tristesse31, but I’m sure it was interspersed and knew while I put down interspersed that the question was made to trick those who thought it would be dissected because of the word “dividing” somewhere in the sentence. It wasn’t dissected because the point of the sentence wasn’t that he was breaking up his arguments, but that he was putting little anecdotes in between his arguments.</p>

<p>bhchamp, another answer choice was “munificent”. The question was relating a certain insect to gardeners hacking tirelessly at weeds.</p>

<p>for the reading, there is a short passage (I do not remember clearly, but) it talks about music and"music is a nutshell, full of brash people with big dreams and big guts…" something like that. And there is a question on that sentence, options are like idealistic and impractical… I wonder what did you guys choose? The second question contains choices like allegory, metaphor, personification, what did you choose for that?</p>

<p>@carlhefferson I’m 99% sure the answer for the second question you said was metaphor.</p>

<p>Random but what was the one in math with the chart of a guy’s running times and we had to find the range? I panicked and didn’t know what to do ah</p>

<p>Just making sure you all know that for that one question, dissect was not the answer. To dissect means to cut up and examine. The answer was intersperse.</p>

<p>And the range question, the answer, I believe, was 11. Subtract his slowest time of 67 (1:07) by the fastest of 56. </p>

<p>Sent from my SGH-T839 using CC</p>

<p>Was that choice A?</p>

<p>Dissected is definitely not the answer…
The question said the student “________ humorous comments in between his sayings during the presentation”</p>

<p>Okay haha, I think we’ve already covered that the answer was interspersed, not dissected… do we really need to keep repeating that every few comments?</p>

<p>Oh guys! I just remembered a question where I had no idea what the right answer was. The seahorse passage… at the end, when she’s comparing seeing the seahorse to seeing a unicorn trotting in her garden. It’s two sentences the question is asking about: the first is saying at first she thought she wouldn’t see one, and the second is saying seeing it was like seeing a unicorn. Was that making a disclosure or presenting a shortcoming? In one sense, saying that it was some sort of “childhood irrationality” (something like that) is saying it was a shortcoming of hers, but in another, it’s not really a shortcoming, is it? Because it’s just saying she wasn’t expecting to see a seahorse. And comparing it to a unicorn, which is part of the lines the question refers to, is definitely more of a disclosure than a shortcoming. GAH! This question p*ssed me off… any ideas???</p>

<p>^I’m almost positive the answer was making a disclosure. The author was making a sort of confession to the reader that she still felt seahorses had a sense of mythical property akin to unicorns. She’s disclosing that she still holds these “childish” views.</p>

<p>Well that’s a bit of a relief (I chose disclosure), although I still don’t see why it’s not a shortcoming, since she did talk about a childish irrationality that she still held. If it’s irrational, you’d think that would be a bad thing…</p>

<p>I wonder is there anybody could answer my question:</p>

<p>“for the reading, there is a short passage (I do not remember clearly, but) it talks about music and"music is a nutshell, full of brash people with big dreams and big guts…” something like that. And there is a question on that sentence, options are like idealistic and impractical… I wonder what did you guys choose? The second question contains choices like allegory, metaphor, personification, what did you choose for that?"</p>

<p>Meanwhile, for the architecture one, the first paragraph is about 1. environmental effect on individual is self-determined 2. …open… do you guys remember which one is it?</p>

<p>bump bump bump</p>

<p>The answer for the music question is metaphor.</p>

<p>do you guys remember what number was the “adequately preserved” one for the writing??</p>

<p>I put error on that one bc I thought it should’ve been “preserved adequately,” but people have been saying it’s no error. Not sure. Btw, does anyone remember lucrative as an answer to a sentence comp?</p>
