November 2008 SAT Critical Reading

<p>Oh noez i got it worng</p>

<p>I think she laughed with relief, but I have this nagging feeling that I may have put “joy”… oy vey.</p>

<p>YES i got releif and solmen</p>

<p>But… but they must be cousins!</p>

<p>there’s no way she could have been irate instead of solemn?</p>

<p>If you had two math grid-ins, then you had a math experimental. If you got the writing fixing about Deep Blue, you got the writing experimental. If you got neither of those, CR experimental. :D</p>

<p>i put mocking…as in ridiculing.</p>

<p>she said “that is so sad”…b/c he loves something that doesn’t love him back…she’s deriding him.</p>

<p>wink you are correct, raised by people who were friends</p>

<p>I think she was definitely solemn… she was sad that the kid was going to get hopelessly lost in a book the same way her father had, or whatever.</p>

<p>it was solemn, relief, and OVERJOYED, composed, raised by people who were friends with one another, those 5 im 99% are all correct</p>

<p>but she was talking about her father and how he was obsessed? maybe? about the book…she listened gravely and pulled her sari…</p>

<p>overjoyed and relief were two different questions i believe</p>

<p>was the experimental CR section the one about the baseball player with the age? or poetry…</p>

<p>Book owned by uncle:

  1. overjoyed (when he fell to his knees)
  2. relief
  3. mutual acquaintance
  4. solemn
  5. composed
  6. book held her captive
  7. passage told the past experiences of characters</p>

<p>poetry:

  1. statistical evidence was misleading
  2. “students” referred to specialization of poetry</p>

<p>New way of mass-producing food:

  1. absurd</p>

<p>Oh there was this question i got it down to two choices i just remembered, what did she mean the bookcase had provided order to life that her father always wanted(something along those lines) - unique sentimental value, or to protect from life’s chaos ( i thought this choice was too extreme) so i picked sentimental</p>

<p>was the poetry passage experimental?</p>

<p>was the kitchen debate experimental?</p>

<p>what was precluded sentence again… its overjoyed, RELIEF, raised by friends who knew each other, solemn, composed, book…captive, what was question for #7- and whats the sentimental and life chaos answer?</p>

<p>I love how i get the questions i think are easy wrong and the hard ones right.</p>

<p>I put mocking without even thinking about it. solemn seems like it could fit but idk…</p>

<p>i put protect form life’s chaos…</p>
