October 4 SAT Critical Reading

<p>For the other Shakespeare question (not the one everyone is talking about) “The tone of passage 2, compared to that of passage 1, is more irreverent.” What were the other choices besides irreverent?</p>

<p>^
Humorous, Derisive, I forget the other 2.</p>

<p>I chose Humorous, because it’s not irreverent. It’s not disrespectful at all.
The opening of Paragraph 2 pretty much makes Shakespeare an idol, that people go on a pilgrimage to his home town to learn about him. That Shakespeare is so ubiquitous in England, and not for his plays, the fact that “it is rumored that he even wrote plays” would tie in with the authors point that Shakespeare is famous beyond just the obvious.
I can’t see how that would be irreverent at all.</p>

<p>i’m an international student and i got merely 530 last oct on cr ,i wish i could have 700 this time,or i can’t get into northwestern any way…</p>

<p>Do you guys remember the question of a sentence completion{2. Inapt … odd}?</p>

<p>I am not sure which answer I chose because I forget the question…</p>

<p>Do you guys have a sentence completion which talks about a person was very awkward one morning and spilled his milk or some liquid like that…</p>

<p>I had 4 reading sections on the test day, so I am not sure if that is a real or experimental
question…</p>

<p>By the way,Do you guys remember the question of a sentence completion{2. Inapt … odd}?</p>

<p>I am not sure which answer I chose because I forget the question…I wonder if it is
the same question with the one I mentioned before…</p>

<p>No, the inapt odd question was referring to Peciular, Maine. lol</p>

<p>Its amazing that this thread has gotten over 1200 posts in only 4 days!</p>

<p>does anyone remember a question in the science CR about coin collecting and what it meant in the contxt of the passage…i think i put something about unambiguous task or something…anyhow, that ones not on your compiled list.</p>

<p>^ Yeah I do, I put down the same thing. It was something about coin collecting being straightforward and unambiguous.</p>

<p>can we discuss the art science passage??if we find some answers we will almost know all of them</p>

<p>yaaa AT9 thats exactly it. that was just one i thought of that isn’t on the list already…i haven’t thought of any more…there maybe some more on the jewelry passage that we haven’t thought of</p>

<p>was the coin question in the pipe/painting passage?</p>

<p>Do you know if something along the lines as “boring” was a choice for the coin? What were the other choices?</p>

<p>I’m fairly certain that for the Shakespeare tone question the answer is ‘irreverent’ and not derisive or humorous. (nearly 100% sure on this one).</p>

<p>The passage was neither “derisive” (too extreme of language) nor humorous–he didn’t make any jokes. It was irreverent. He used the word “waddled” to describe the tourists and a big head to describe Shakespeare. He had an ‘irreverent’ tone compared to the author of Passage 1 who wrote very <em>reverently</em> about Shakespeare.</p>

<p>the “irreverent” question was different from the derisive/humorous</p>

<p>exactly. there was one derisive comment… and the passage in general was irreverent.</p>

<p>Could someone please tell me as much as they can about the sentence completion question whose answer was “Disregard … cosmopolitan”? More about the question and what other possibe answers were? I’ve posted a lot for other people so I would really appreciate this. Thanks!</p>

<p>By the way, I found a very interesting article about Shakespeare. I was especially interested in the second paragraph. [Company</a> Man](<a href=“http://www.thenation.com/doc/20040301/eagleton]Company”>http://www.thenation.com/doc/20040301/eagleton)</p>
