October 4 SAT Critical Reading

<p>Was pedestrian/edify an answer for vocab?</p>

<p>Another choice was inscrutable/exhaustive</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I picked the first one because the second one “inscrutable” doesn’t really fit in the text.</p>

<p>I picked the first one two.</p>

<p>I was thinking about that for a long time because I wasn’t sure what edify meant, but now I’m pretty sure inscrutable was just wrong.</p>

<p>Exhaustive seemed like the perfect word though.</p>

<p>Most people seemed to agree on pedestrian.</p>

<p>I got Pedestiran/Edify!</p>

<p>Inscrutable doesn’t make sense in the context since it means “not easily interpreted” and the question was about how simple some guy’s writing is.</p>

<p>i picked pedestrian/edify too. woopdeedoo. i got so many wrong.</p>

<p>this critical reading was impossible</p>

<p>consolidate =P!</p>

<p>edify was on the June test too! It was a really controversial passage-based question. Most of you who took the june test and went on this forum will know what I’m talking about. Btw, I picked edify too. I was actually confident about this question.</p>

<p>was pedestrian/edify choice E? I can’t seem to remember</p>

<p>hollow,yes its E, it was about some conventional stuff</p>

<p>what DID you put FOR THE QUESTION ABOUT THE SHAKESPEAR DUAL PASSAGE WHICH ASKS ABOUT THE AUTHORS PURPOSE FOR HIS LAST line: “there are even rumors that shakespeare even wrote plays”</p>

<p>humorous. or something.</p>

<p>no</p>

<p>im pretty sure we went over that the answer is derisive comment.</p>

<p>say, what would -5-6 be.</p>

<p>-> Genius is NOT answer -> was extreme choice and not mentioned
-> Industry is NOT answer -> First passage is not about the effect of Shakespeare on the book industry instead it focuses on the awe behind shakespeare, same with the second passage
-> Little is known about Shakespeare’s life IS answer -> 1st passage says it explicitly, second passage says it in the last 2 sentences</p>

<p>[my opinion]</p>

<p>is it that the author was derisive towards the people for not having sufficient knowledge about Shakespeare</p>

<p>i put derisive</p>

<p>It seemed to be making fun of how little people actually understand Shakespeare. They just go there because he’s famous.</p>

<p>Something about humorously criticizing (not the word, something similar to that) the public, because they use him in so much stuff, and almost fail to read his plays</p>

<p>or something???</p>

<p>Do you guys remember the answer choices for the genius industry question?</p>

<p>And also, it said- “Genius of the highest degree”</p>

<p>-Isn’t that a little too strong of a choice? It never mentioned Shakespeare as a genius of the highest degree.</p>
