<p>aignam: i dont think you should blame people based on ignorance. people have remarkably differing opinions and perspectives, and to say that this test as a whole is the norm for judging English speaking/comprehension ability is false.</p>
<p>No aignam, I don’t know why you are so ignorant. Look it up in the dictionary or the thesaurus, Merriam Webster, if you want. “trouble” isn’t even a synonym for “perplex”. On the other hand, “entangle” is. A good definition of “perplex” will show you that the answer is clearly “entangle”. Plus, someone who got an 800 on a past SAT who took this one agreed that it was “entangle”.</p>

<p>Surely we don’t want to turn this into a contest, do we? There is a logical fallacy called “citing unreliable authority”.</p>
<p>How is this unreliable. 800 is an 800. This guy knows what he is talking about. So do I. It is a fallacy to go along with the majority, the bandwagon fallacy. This is just like the PSAT. All the people on this site were saying that the answer to the one question about the description of Japanese guy’s appearance was to “display habitual condition”, when a minority of people said “evoke a state of mind”, which just so happened to be the right answer.</p>
<p>I got an 800 verbal psat…</p>
<p>and I put trouble on saturday.</p>
<p>That’s beside the point. Why would someone feel dejected, as this mother did, because he or she didn’t have any work to “trouble” them. If she didn’t have any work to “entangle” her, it sounds much more reasonable. Entangle here means to involve her heavily in. And please don’t say that you don’t usually use entangle this way. Look it up on dictionary.com, thesaurus.com, Merriam Webster, Emmanuel Webster, anything.</p>
<p>Heltahir, I already posted the dictionary.com definition in this thread. There is no way that the answer was entangle. Get over it. You got it wrong. It’s not the end of the world.</p>
<p>I guess you people are right, it was trouble. What do you think 5 wrong total CR will be?</p>
<p>800 PSAT as well. I’ll scan you my score report if you want. The dictionary.com definition has the word “trouble” IN it. What more do you want? Being delusional won’t help your score, cockboy. ;-)</p>
<p>Are you talking to me you little prick, aignam? I said that I agreed with you you little cocksucker. Keep being an ass. Someone’s going to kick the crap out of your punk ass. I couldn’t care if you got an 80 PSAT. You probably mean an 80 total you little jackass.</p>
<p>what was exact question again?</p>
<p>i think i put entangle</p>
<p>Dude It Was Trouble Omg Why Are We Talking About This?</p>
<p>Forget it, that freakin jerk aignam is going to tell you you’re wrong and then talk some *<strong><em>. He’s such a little *</em></strong><em>. Dirty Italian Greaseball piece of *</em>**.</p>
<p>Just laugh in his face when someone gets the separate student response-answer sheet.</p>
<p>Trouble</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Don’t worry, Aignam only does this stuff because he would never say this ■■■■ to our faces. Just the other day, out of the blue he called me a slapdick. I had done nothing to him, and I would have come and beaten his ass but I remembered he was hiding behind a computer screen. Somebody will kick his ass one day. Remember that, HELTAHIR</p>
<p>At this point, I don’t care.</p>
<p>i agonized over the perplex one for about 5mins. Trouble sounded like it had a negative conation(sp), while entangle sounded like “involve in”. I put entangle. After reading dictionary.com I really doubt my answer, but if anyone can confirm it’s entangle i’d be delighted and suprised.</p>
<p>after asking 13 people in my school (who are all in the top 20 in my class along with me) all but 1, said the answer was entangle (mind you they all took the sat on saturday), (again this could me nothing because as two people said, just because one gets an 800 on verbal doesn’t mean he’s right on every question, and we had two people with 800s each giving different answers) Then of course i asked my english teacher and she said it could go either way, but after i explained to her my reasoning she said it’s entangle as well. i am not trying to be a nag, and i know there is absolutely no reason in persuading you all to believe me, you all do not score/make the test, it’s just a way for everyone to realize that this question was not a definite answer, and it’s STILL up for grabs in my opinion.</p>
