Official June 2012 Sat CR sections (US)

<p>For the big nanima and nanima… she left resentlyfully acknolwedged?, startling discovery?, detached acceptance</p>

<p>oh, i thought it was casual interest, for spectators usually you have a casual interest not close attention. also it didn’t say they stared or anything just that they sat there not really caring watching the events unfold. that’s just me though.</p>

<p>how was it ephemeral? I seem to have missed so many :/</p>

<p>@baabaa i put resentfully acknolwedged</p>

<p>toby it said transience.
and i put detached cause she left without saying anything</p>

<p>For the nanima one, i put resentfully acknowledged bc she gave up at the end and walked away</p>

<p>I put detached, but some of my friends put resentlly acknolwdged</p>

<p>ephermal, as in a fleeting moment… not lasting a long time but really powerful</p>

<p>I put resentfully acknowledged. She left in a huff, which I took to mean that she was still angry and resented the fact that she was too frail to really fight back.</p>

<p>I put resentfully acknowleged.</p>

<p>was it conflicts or discion ?</p>

<p>I put resentfully acknowledged aswell</p>

<p>I put resentful in the booklet but put detached on the scantron. They both sounded similar</p>

<p>@Shimkihoon I put conflicts for that one.</p>

<p>@fullmetal me too. The answer was quite straightforward. It was something like “You should adjust the power, rather than simply using maximum power” and the passage basically said the same thing. I thought ephemeral could have been possible, but the above answer choice was a lot better.</p>

<p>@baabaablack I put resentfully acknowledged. She knew she couldn’t win against her, literally big, sister. So she decided to just leave.</p>

<p>@satboy It is a tough choice between casual interest and close attention, but I think close attention is the more appropriate answer. It said they were constantly turning their heads, something that most people who were only casually interested wouldn’t do. The comparison with tennis spectators makes me think close attention was the correct answer.</p>

<p>i put conflicts and detached.</p>

<p>was the answer childish or close attention?</p>

<p>can someone put al the sent coms together?
thank you in advance :D</p>

<p>I put childish amusement as well, but given the context (comparison with a tennis game), I was probably inferring too much. The last one was definitely resentful acknowledgment; she knew she would not be able to win the quarrel, so she walked away in anger.</p>

<p>But the university passage, what was the answer? I read repetition and analogical reasoning, but I put conjecture, since he was giving his own opinions about what professors should be doing without providing any poof or data (like the author of Passage 2 did).</p>

<p>so for the sphinx one, everyone’s debating between “evocative nature” and “unsetting effect”
was i the only one who chose universal appeal?
appeal:the power or ability to attract, interest, amuse, or stimulate the mind or emotions</p>

<p>and the question was referring to the very last sentence of the passage, which went something like “you could make whatever of the sphinx that you want to, you can even be like that man, who deemed it negligible”
something like that.
SO WAS I THE ONLY ONE WHO CHOSE UNIVERSAL APPEAL? :(</p>

<p>i’m almost certain it was “evocative nature”</p>

<p>less sure about the university one, but my gut says/said conjecture</p>
