October 4 SAT Critical Reading

<p>I’m pretty sure it was to give examples of the extreme. Those who thought disparage probably read too much into it.</p>

<p>does anybody remember what the first question was for the women suffrage’s passage? was it like what was the main purpose of the passage?</p>

<p>and</p>

<p>i remember the first choice in the first question talked about gender gap…</p>

<p>was that it?</p>

<p>i think it said the gender gap was evolutionizing or something…</p>

<p>resist…recognize had to do with a woman who resisted awards/public attention for her work.</p>

<p>Has anyone been following this thread closely enough to compile a list/build on a previous list of answers?</p>

<p>^ Oh yeah holland, a scientist who won the noble prize correct?</p>

<p>shame or disdain?</p>

<p>Ok thanks holland, i think i picked that choice. </p>

<p>But damn, why the hell would you resist recognition.</p>

<p>now if anyone could remember erudite… ha</p>

<p>does anybody remember what the first question was for the women suffrage’s passage? was it like what was the main purpose of the passage?</p>

<p>and</p>

<p>i remember the first choice in the first question talked about gender gap…</p>

<p>was that it?</p>

<p>i think it said the gender gap was evolutionizing or something…</p>

<p>^ the women one main idea was something to prove that the conventional wisdom was wrong, that women actually got the right to vote.i forgot the wording
2nd one was that women are not independently of their husbands i think</p>

<p>so is disdain correct for disdain/shame q? i changed from shame to disdain…</p>

<p>I put down disdain as well.</p>

<p>Now that I think of it… the author may have been ashamed of how the cities have disintegrated to such low ends that cars are now having priority over pedestrians…</p>

<p>However, I put down disdain… hopefully we are right</p>

<p>Q about shakespeare. pretty sure it was “humorous” not “derisive.” The comment was facetious, but it didn’t directly insult anyone.</p>

<p>@junshik - it was definitely disdain</p>

<p>@ChoklitRain - it was derisive. It was making fun of the people that visit Stratford without really knowing/caring about Shakespeare.</p>

<p>What were the full answers for derisive vs. humorous shakespeare q???</p>

<p>Why disdain?</p>

<p>Change the question dealing with Pedestrian…Edifying to </p>

<p>Inscrutable… Exhaustive </p>

<p>The fact that his writing was conventional made it somewhat hard to decipher(inscrutable), and it covered a formidable amount of ground(Exhaustive) </p>

<p>Sure, pedestrian fits well. However, Edifying did not make sense in that context. </p>

<p>The second blank required a word that describes ALOT of info. Edifying implies something that is enlightening, didactic. We need something that means comprehensive, extensive. </p>

<p>Correct uses of EDIFYING :
“The paintings in the church served an edifying purpose even for those who could not read” - Webster Merriam</p>

<p>“Johns group led an edifying lecture” </p>

<p>There we go.</p>

<p>^Heh, I’m sticking with pedestrian/exhaustive.</p>

<p>Why would conventional writing be hard to decipher? Conventional writing would be the exact opposite of inscrutable.</p>
