October 4 SAT Critical Reading

<p>Little is known about Shakespeare’s life - this was the choice</p>

<p>^I think that is made wrong by the first passage’s mention of so many biographies.</p>

<p>Thats what I put. I’m very certain its correct–
Both agreed that shakespeare is relatively unknown</p>

<p>Yeh, I chose mystery at first and then after I finished my CR section I changed my answer to industry after close analysis.</p>

<p>^ Don’t declare certainty unless you can back it up with reasoning. There has been an extensive debate about industry vs. genius. Im not at all saying its wrong, but personally I eliminated that choice immediately and debated genius vs. industry. </p>

<p>Genius-2
Industry-3
Mystery-3</p>

<p>What is the answer of the suffrage question?</p>

<p>not independent? or same ideas?</p>

<p>Actually now that I think about it…
I changed my answer after I finished the section too and changed it to industry</p>

<p>the precipitately one went basically like this</p>

<p>Person X was ____ ; he did not think of the consequences of something something something.</p>

<p>To violaina:
In my AP Gov class today we were discussing voter participation and efficacy and how many people in the early 20th century underestimated the turnout of women’s votes because they had ideologies that were similar to their husband’s…
I’m not sure if this is correct, though.</p>

<p>I don’t even remember which answer I chose…</p>

<p>mystery or indiustry?</p>

<p>I guess I chose mystery first and then changed my answer to industry…</p>

<p>What was the truce question about? Something about apes…</p>

<p>I don’t remember exactly, but I think I put genius because I thought I was able to find genius stated explicitly in both passages.</p>

<p>Thinking about it now, the “highest degree” part sounds too extreme to be right. At the same time, the fact that passage two was so obviously about a thriving industry makes me think industry was a trap choice.</p>

<p>A person is allowed to declare their own certainty in their answer. It doesn’t make them right - just confident.</p>

<p>The funny thing is that both authors would almost certainly agree to all three statements. I guess we’ll have to wait to see what was “most certain”.</p>

<p>The truce sentence was about people assigning human qualities (such as a “truce”) to apes.</p>

<p>Thank you, nish13…</p>

<p>I have 4 wrongs now…excluding the women suffrage and Shakespeare…</p>

<p>I wish I did not have more mistakes in CR…because -4 was enough for me…</p>

<p>I pray for a lenient curve…</p>

<p>something like</p>

<p>67 800
66 800
65 800
64 800
63 790
62 770
61 760
60 740
59 730
…</p>

<p>That is the curve of Oct 07 SAT</p>

<p>the answer to the women and husbands question was that they wouldn’t vote independently.</p>

<p>I put that periods of Shakespeare’s life were unknown.</p>

<p>In passage one it is directly stated that it is amazing that one we know so little about one who captivates us.</p>

<p>In passage two the author notes that the people worship the high domed head of Shakespeare without even knowing his real appearance.</p>

<p>Industry makes sense now, but when I took the test it seemed that Passage 1 said that it is a surprise if new Shakespeare things don’t come out. To me, that didn’t imply that it was as much an industry, but just that we were enthralled with Shakespeare.</p>

<p>Passage 2 doesn’t seem to fully support highest genius, but just shows disdain towards people who don’t value the right aspects of Shakespeare.</p>

<p>i put industry.</p>

<p>genius to the highest degree was too extreme.</p>

<p>and the first passage did not seem to state that not much was known about Shakespeare’s life, rather that he is still an enigma despite the facts. For example, it is known that he never attended college, which still evokes wonder…</p>

<p>Wow. That is one sexy curve.</p>

<p>I have two questions…</p>

<p>One was the art history section for one of the questions allot of people answered guild, but I thought the answer was regressing to the medival option? Could someone explain?</p>

<p>Another one was one of the Car questions</p>

<p>It was: THe last paragraph of Passage 2 compares transportation with trade (or something along those lines) to show what?</p>

<p>I didn’t see that listed (granted I didn’t look through every page lol) </p>

<p>I dont exactly remember the questions that well but I’m hoping this is close enough to spark someone’s memory.</p>
