<p>Thanks tlaktan, I was really, really worried about that question.</p>
<p>Thedude…I think you read it wrong…I belief it said "Scientists believe that when the universe began its expansion _____ the speed of light, thus____ the notion that it was impossible (not possible) to travel faster than the speed of light. I’m fairly sure of this because it seemed as if the consensus, on the old forum was exceed:belie and the second part of the question said impossible, not possible. Anyone else care to comment? I’ll be very annoyed if it said possible, as I haven’t missed a sentence completion, even on a practice test, since 8th grade.</p>
<p>i’m pretty sure it’s impossible.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember putting down “debunk”(? or something like that) as one of your answer to ^^ question?</p>
<p>You are probably right. I was certified as having an attention disorder in 2nd grade and this is probably just another manifestation of the disorder. I would apply for that program that allows students extra time on the test, but I am not sure how they would respond to a student who has already scored a 1400 as a sophmore on the regular test applying for more time. Sucks to be me.</p>
<p>However, I have heard people use belying in the incorrect context when they meant to say underlying, maybe those people on the other board were doing this and you misread the question. However this seems unlikely. God, I just want my results so I can stop racking my brain and being altogether miserable. I mean imagine you took this test thinking you did well, missing only a few in each section, but knowing there is a large chance of missing easy questions because of a inherited flaw . AHHHHHHHH! SHOOT ME NOW!</p>
<p>For the speed of light one, I put the answer with belying.</p>
<p>Anyone want to debate Meritocracy: Talent and Monarchy: Ruler again? My only argument is that a meritocracy deals nothing with government, while monarchy and plutocracy do.</p>
<p>Plutocracy:
1 : government by the wealthy
2 : a controlling class of the wealthy</p>
<p>Meritocracy:
1 : a system in which the talented are chosen and moved ahead on the basis of their achievement
2 : leadership selected on the basis of intellectual criteria</p>
<p>Plutocracy:Wealth = A plutocracy is a system in which wealth advances one’s standing.
Meritocracy:Talent = A meritocracy is a system in which talent advances one’s standing.</p>
<p>It cannot be Monarchy:Ruler because a monarchy is not a system in which “ruler” advances one’s standing. It is a noun like “wealth” (notice ETS didn’t make it “wealthy”), but you can have “wealth” and you can have “talent” but you can’t have “ruler”. Also, a plutocracy and a meritocracy implies an oligarchy, which, by its very definition, a monarchy is not. Don’t let “government by the wealthy” fool you into thinking “monarchy = type of government, so this must be correct!”</p>
<p>To directly address your argument, plutocracy does not necessarily have to have anything to do with government (see definition number 2 of plutocracy) and the definition of meritocracy implies that it could be applied to government (see definition number 2 of meritocracy).</p>
<p>i think the answer to this one is meritocracy:talent, but i got it wrong. definitely agree with slipstream.</p>

<p>Some of your answers I remember as being the question analogy and not one of the answers. For example, plutocracy:wealth was the question. I think you have quite a few like that.</p>
<p>Sorry, I just remember them being on the SAT and probably got some questions/answers mixed up.</p>
<p>that’s right, it was belying. I couldn’t remember what that word was.</p>
<p>I felt that my best section was section 5 verbal ( I am pretty sure it was experiemental though), and then I did horrible on the last 15 minute verbal section, because my brain was so fried at that point. Ugh. I hate the SATs, that is why I will be applying to schools that don’t care too much about a stupid 3 hr test. ;)</p>
<p>conglomeration </p>
<p>rizzle:deluge</p>
<p>what were the questions corresponding to the above sc and ana questions? could someone cue me in?</p>
<p>i think the conglomeration one had something to do with a collage.</p>
<p>i also put belying and exceed, and meritocracy:talent. </p>
<p>for the drizzle:deluge question on yy0712’s list, what was the oringal analogy? was breeze:tempest in the same question? was frigid:cold a different question. </p>
<p>i remember putting drizzle:deluge on the test, then reading on CC that the answer was something different.</p>
<p>yes, but does government necessarily imply advancement of standing? The definition of plutocracy definitely involves government rather than advancement of standing.</p>
<p>I seem to remember drizzle: deluge being an answer. Was it a correct answer?</p>
