October 4 SAT Critical Reading

<p>this is becos the second passage never talks about ‘diff periods in shakespeare’s life’…only that it is unsure whether shakespeare really did have a ‘dome-shaped’ head or smth.</p>

<p>have you considered that both answers you were deciding between were wrong?</p>

<p>Yeah i remember being skeptical about the inaccuracies of common ppl answer… ( i even changed it, i think). They never mentioned what people think about Shakespeare… only that little is known. I might have picked C? Actually I have no idea what i picked, but i think i changed my answer from A (inaccuracy of knowledge known by most ppl) to something else.</p>

<p>wow chok, which answer did u pick?</p>

<p>i picked industry. only choice with no real flaws.</p>

<p>again, industry is another popular choice. its debatable</p>

<p>Yea I still maintain the answer is industry because of the issues with the other problems. Genius to the highest extent? Respect, maybe, but they weren’t saying he was the greatest ever. In fact, passage 2 was even mocking him in a subtle way! And little was known? The second passage also didn’t say little was known. It said that despite his popularity, few actually read his work. Also it never mentioned “parts of his life.”</p>

<p>In both passages, shakespeare was mentioned as important to the industry (2-3 books a year from a deceased author is a great amount!) and the fact that the entire second passage gave examples of this. Inaccuracies? Nah dawg. Passage one said that the dude is mysterious, but never said the information we know was inaccurate! Industry FTW!!</p>

<p>Do any of you remember a question including defile and decry? Was that the precipitate one? I can’t remember.</p>

<p>^ I agree with jakezhang - answer to Shakespeare #2 is industry.</p>

<p>i dont even know what to think anymore. thanks jake… soo is it possible to “retrieve” Q&A before 20 days later?</p>

<p>I’m glad other people chose industry. Still, I got at least 4-5 questions wrong on CR so far, which stinks because I got a 770 in May.</p>

<p>we should tally it up… ONE FOR LITTLE KNOWN (me)</p>

<p>i picked industry</p>

<p>i thought about this problem</p>

<p>i got an 800 on cr last time</p>

<p>i better get it again.</p>

<p>I don’t remember answering defile/decry… at all… lol</p>

<p>sentence completions killed me… i must have gotten like 5 wrong ><
dont forget the 6 possible passage errors… </p>

<p>can anyone figure out my worst case scenario? (-12)
hopefully around 650 at least? LOL</p>

<p>Hey guys, for the Shakespeare questions, I thought that BECAUSE so little was known abouit him, everyone was taking advantage of his “image may not have even been his” for economic advantage. So thus they used the little they knew about him as a crux point. </p>

<p>IDK I put something about little being known about his life because both the first and second passages focused on that point</p>

<p>yay zorros with me</p>

<p>jakezhang, i dont think the answer choice mentioned “inaccuracies” it just said a lot is unknown about him</p>

<p>one of the answer choices specifically mentioned “inaccuracies”
im gonna look like the biggest d*ck if the answers not industry LOL i spent so much time defending my claim</p>

<p>One vote for little is known about Shakespeare.</p>

<p>But oh come on, it’s just 1 question. Which section is experimental…=.=…</p>
