<h2>There was a question about what “distinguish” meant in context–was the answer differentiate?</h2>
<p>I think the answer was discern…was that a choice?</p>
<p>i dont remember answering
31. More to language than just technical efficiency</p>
<p>maybe it was worded differently</p>
<p>the answer was E differentiate</p>
<p>I forgot if it was differentiate or discern–but it was definitely one of them! lol</p>
<p>i dont remember answering
8. Author implies that astronaut jargon has the potential to become exclusive
can anyone expand</p>
<p>“16. The situation most nearly similar to that of the athlete practicing his moves because of his behavioral patterns is that of a musician, or someone practicing his or her work( can’t remember the answer wording, but think answer was C)”</p>
<p>Wasn’t the answer to this one “Sally going through her turns mentally before her driver’s test”? Because the example was of an athlete mentally putting himself in a pressure situation. I think that was D.</p>
<p>Yeah, that’s what I said. The driver’s test, because she goes through it mentally.</p>
<p>oh thats right it was the driver. i just remember answering the choice that said the person was imagining. i dont remember what exactly he/she was imagining</p>
<p>i don’t agree with astronaut jargon has potential to become exclusive. i remember putting something with unprecedented. anyone want to confirm that?</p>
<p>also, there was that question that some people put the laypersons answer for. i didn’t put that, but i don’t recall what i put. anyone put something different?</p>
<p>yeah i remember putting something unprecedented. but im pretty sure “foreign language” was referring to something that a regular person wouldnt understand</p>
<p>for the 2 passages about travelling alone… one of the questions was the reason for the reference of Hemingway’s “french auto-trip”…and the choices was that it showed…bla bla bla…</p>
<p>Here is a summary of what we have come up with so far. Congratulations to all. Believe that this has been most successful June SAT I thread I have seen!</p>
<p>ESSAY TOPIC - there were at least three and maybe more topics. College Board will post them in due time.
- MEMORIES - Do memories help or hinder people in their efforts to learn from the past and succeed in the present.
- MEDIA - something about the media’s impact upon what we think is important
- BEING PRACTICAL - something about learning to be practical (making money) versus having a good life</p>
<p>WHAT WAS THE EXPERIMENTAL GRAMMAR?
Unfortunately we don’t know for sure. I definitely had El Greco and Poetry Slam. Weight of evidence seems to support El Greco as experimental and Poetry Slam is one that counted. BUT there could have been other Grammar Sections that counted. </p>
<p>SENTENCE COMPLETIONS
- ENTHRALLED - I seem to be the only one who remembers this as an answer so maybe I’m wrong
- RETICENT (Thurgood Marshall was reticent in private)
- IMPECUNIOUS…AFFLUENT
- CHAGRIN
- ENDEMIC (plants somewhere were ENDEMIC to region. Thought answer would be indigeneous but it was not a choice. So had to go with ENDEMIC)
- EBLLIENCE … PESSIMISM (group has to rethink their policies because their initial ebullience gave way to pessimism)
- AMALGAM … COIN (author combined two names to coin a new one)
- PROPONENT
- EXTEMPORIZE (about monarch butterflies)
- COMPLICITY … EXONERATE (because of proven complicity could not exonerate)
- TEPID (response was lukewarm and therefore TEPID)</p>
<p>HOLLYWOOD PARAGRAPH
- The cornerstone of a blockbuster movie is “high concept” so cornerstone most nearly means FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENT
- Author is DERISIVE</p>
<p>PUFFIN PARAGRAPH
1.</p>

<p>WHAT WAS THE EXPERIMENTAL GRAMMAR?
Unfortunately it appears that we don’t know for sure. I definitely had El Greco and Poetry Slam. Weight of evidence seems to support view that El Greco was experiemental and Poetry Slam counted. But there could have been more than one Grammar Section that counted.</p>
<p>SENTENCE COMPLETIONS
- ENTHRALLED - I seem to be the only one who remembers this as an answer so maybe I am wrong.
- RETICENT - (Thurgood Marshall)
- IMPECUNIOUS … AFFLUENT
- CHAGRIN
- ENDEMIC (plants and animals somewhere were endemic. Thought answer would be indigeneous but it was not an answer choice. Other answers were clearly wrong)
- EBULLIENCE … PESSIMISM (group has to rethink their policies because their initial ebullience gave way to pessimism)
- AMALGAM … COIN (author combined two names to coin a new name)
- PROPONENT
- EXTEMPORIZE (about monarch butterflies)
- COMPLICITY … EXONERATE (because of proven complicity could not exonerate)
- TEPID</p>
<p>HOLLYWOOD PARAGRAPH
- The cornerstone of a blockbuster movie is “high concept” so cornerstone most nearly means FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENT
- Author is DERISIVE</p>
<p>PUFFIN PARAGRAPH
- Oceans are critical to the planet
- Puffins are ENDEARING</p>
<p>BILINGUAL CALLIGRAPHER
- Punishment - mother most often uses
- Daughter’s job is most similar to the editor of a publishing house
- Both mother and daughter often get frustrated with each other
- List of different jobs depicts the variety of the mother’s work
- Mother’s description of how to write shows that she emphasizes HARMONY
- In the description of how mother lectured during lessons, the word ‘stuffing’ in the sentence on how she stuffed her daughter’s head full of lessons most nearly means CRAMMING
- The word “unsophisticated” most nearly means UNCOMPLICATED
- The situation most nearly similar to that of the athlete practicing his moves because of his behavioral patterns is that of a muscian or someone practicing his work</p>
<p>MINI-PAIR: GENIUS
- Too many people are called geniuses
- Author of Passage 2 uses a word that the Author of Passage 1 would challenge
- Author of Passage 1 would consider the description of the person’s friend to be OVERSTATED</p>
<p>EFFECTS OF ENVIRONMENT ON BEHAVIOR: PSYCHOLOGICAL ECOLOGY
- Purpose of the first paragraph - a generalized thesis which is then supported
- Most similar to “going thru” - going thru driving test maneuvers
- Paying a professional decorator to find a better spot for a sofa - creative but unorthodox solution to a vexing problem
- Dark side - lose flexibility in thinking
- Wild idea - unconventional
- List of teachers…students; doctors…patients etc - place specific roles we fill
- SECURE = ACQUIRE
- What distinguishes artistis? Tough question! I put that artists have a more accurate view of reality than others. AGREE or DISAGREE
- Passage is a thoughtful examination of a phenomenon</p>
<p>PAIRED PASSAGE: TRAVELING ALONE
- PARADOX - “I am never less alone than when I am alone”
- Stern would most likely support the statement in Passage 2
- Hemingway would support the author of Passage 1
- Description of different routines illustrates the PETTY differences between two people
- PROVINCIAL CHARM (definitely NOT foreboding isolation)
- GLEAN is definitely the correct answer
- Last paragraph of Passage 1 acknowledges that there is an exception to the rule stated above</p>
<p>ASTRONAUTS
- Description of Inuit language shows relationship between language and thought
- Author implies that astronaut jargon has the potential to be exclusive
- Description of astronaut jargon as “foreign language” shows that most laypersons would find it needlessly complicated
- Different languages use the same words in different manner
- Believe that UNPRECEDENTED was in the answer to one of the questions but can’t recall question</p>
<p>does anyone know any of the other answer choices for whatever the question was that had the “laypersons find it needlessly complicated” as a supposed answer?</p>
<p>a few more questions to add on</p>
<p>daughter and calligraphy: the paragraph describes the mother giving instructions to the dauther</p>
<p>enviroment: i think that professional decorator’s answer was unforutante, but understandable b/c social influence (something like that)</p>
<p>astronauts: something about what does arthur imply in the last paragraph? jargon are unnecessary development</p>
<p>“3. Paying a professional decorator to find a better spot for a sofa - creative but unorthodox solution to a vexing problem”</p>
<p>Are you positive about that? I thought it was an unfortunate side effect of habituation.</p>
<p>i agree w/ spartan about an unfortunate side</p>
<p>yeah i agree with spartan as well</p>
<ol>
<li>What distinguishes artistis? Tough question! I put that artists have a more accurate view of reality than others. AGREE or DISAGREE</li>
</ol>
<p>I agree =)</p>
<p>I’ve agreed on all these answers so far, except for GLEAN but I think I’m wrong… I put withhold =</p>
<ol>
<li>Believe that UNPRECEDENTED was in the answer to one of the questions but can’t recall question</li>
</ol>
<p>It was something like… the jargon was a response to an unprecedented situation.</p>
<p>Yeah, I remember that answer iamconfuzzled. It asked what the author implied about the astronaut jargon.</p>
<p>I said that it had the potential to become exclusive because the author hinted that it would become exclusive in the beginning of the second paragraph and said that while it wasn’t exclusive, it was already beginning to show some signs that it would become exclusive, or something along those lines.</p>
