October 4 SAT Critical Reading

<p>I don’t rember the question but I remember thinking it wasn’t pragmatic/practical.</p>

<p>It was derisive.</p>

<p>And can we talk about the pipes passage? I thought that was pretty intense- more so than the others. And the cars…</p>

<p>And was Walt Disney experimental then?</p>

<p>pragmatic and practical are too close of synonyms … they were not paired together i’m pretty sure</p>

<p>I don’t remember a pragmatic/practical one, so it was probably experimental</p>

<p>i thought it was humorous.</p>

<p>that pipes passage WAS intense, i thought the painting was pretty cool too. (looked it up)</p>

<p>and the cars passage was the easiest</p>

<p>walt disney musta been experimental, i don’t remember it at all</p>

<p>Cars was hard for me… what was the painting’s name? God, how do you even remember?!</p>

<p>I Think Vitriolic Was An Answer, And Aviation… Experience, Idk If It Was Experimental</p>

<p>vitriolic and aviation were experimental</p>

<p>and the painting’s name was treachery of images or something</p>

<p>Yeah, for those of you thinking the Shakespeare question had
something to do with him being a ‘genius’
you’re wrong.
there was nowhere suggesting it …</p>

<p>I can’t quite remember all the details but I’m fairly sure it was derisive- he spent the passage discussing how there’s a Shakespeare industry, with his familiar hat and all this other stuff. His tone was pretty sarcastic, edging on negative so I put derisive because I got the impression that the essentiality behind Shakespeare has become shrouded in propaganda,etc. Basically, he’s become a symbol of ‘national fame’ or something but ppl don’t actually read his works or study the reason for which he is known.</p>

<p>there was the burgeoning one…
ugh i got it wrong and put stasis. stupiddddd</p>

<p>shakespeare:</p>

<p>i put industry and irreverent</p>

<p>industry and irreverent, yup.</p>

<p>what was the ques. for the digress one?</p>

<p>and what were the other answer choices for the derisive one?</p>

<p>i didnt think the puerto rican woman one was cosmopolitan either…the first word of that pair didn’t sound right, so i put overlooked and pragmatic. </p>

<p>pragmatic = busy; active.</p>

<p>^according to dictionary.com</p>

<p>wiring fine -></p>

<p>wat was the answer for “fine” question?</p>

<p>Indianfoo, the short passages are very tricky so im glad someone agreed with me. but i usually get 800 in practice CR so I’m pretty confident.</p>

<p>The question about monolith in the painting passage…what did u guys put?</p>

<p>satisfactory…basically means “nothing is wrong”</p>

<p>monolith…something about different people all having different viewpoints and perspectives, or something around those lines</p>
