SAT January 2012 - Critical Reading

<p>oooOOooooOOoooo, do u think its philosophy?</p>

<p>@000: read last page, I linked the first passage for photography.</p>

<p>I could try to find it if anyone remember any key words xD. </p>

<p>And actually for the ACT reading section I’ve found that I actually have a lot of time left over, and make decent enough scores (27-30). I just don’t tend to think critically enough so I would otherwise not get certain questions wrong</p>

<p>@000
I am 95% positive that the landmark/historical question referred directly to the “4mph speed limit” part of the paragraph…</p>

<p>Desi </p>

<p>I think it was whatever answer choice had reservations in it.</p>

<p>okay so it was like passage 2 examining the philosophy and reservations or something? for the photography one…thats the one between phil. vs. methodology. and @drac, i thought it referred to this</p>

<p>“When the first electric car debuted in mid-nineteenth-century England, the speed limit was hastily set at 4 miles per hour—the speed at which a man carrying a red flag could run ahead of a car entering a town, an event that was still a quite rare occurrence.”</p>

<p>@drac thank you</p>

<p>@000ooo000ooo </p>

<p>Honestly no hahaha</p>

<p>In order for it to be fun there would need to be a playful tone or something along those lines but there’s nothing indicating that. Also I don’t know what your point is in placing so much emphasis on the sentence immediately following the speed limit question. I don’t think the question wasn’t asking anything about that…</p>

<p>Wow. The CR section of the time clock clearly took out passages that would have made it easier to understand what the author was trying to talk about. I really think that the SAT is made to trick us rather than measure our skills in reading.</p>

<p>Hey, does anyone remember the other answer choices for the vocab one that the answer was obdurate for?
This is the only question on CR I may have missed but can’t remember.</p>

<p>Well I know it referred to the whole sentence not just the 4mph but whether or not it is a fun historical fact or not is really questionable.</p>

<p>And even if it was a decision it never really affected anything so I still don’t how it would be landmark.</p>

<p>I’m going to have to back up my friend 000ooo000ooo here.</p>

<p>I honestly thought it was playful. My reason can be found some pages back though.</p>

<p>If anyone wants to help looking for the second, here are some quotes:
It’s not enough to take one’s picture and label it bigot
It’s a powerful instrument in the right hands</p>

<p>landmark doesn’t mean it necessarily affected anything; it can also mean it marked something significant eg the last time humans and cars traveled at the same speed</p>

<p>whatever though i hate this cr section i think i’m over it now</p>

<p>@Angel</p>

<p>1 more:</p>

<p>and say, ‘This is a bigot,’ because bigots have a way of looking just like everybody else.</p>

<p>[Voices</a> in the mirror: an autobiography - Gordon Parks - Google Books](<a href=“Voices In The Mirror: An Autobiography - Gordon Parks - Google Books”>Voices In The Mirror: An Autobiography - Gordon Parks - Google Books)</p>

<p>It’s probably from this book, although it’s not complete.</p>

<p>Check Pages 106 and 112, (109-110 are blocked)</p>

<p>yeah that’s it page 112</p>

<p>Photography:
The answer was to give Stayker(or whatever his name was) the course of action to solve his problems. I think the answer choice was “to advise on a course of action” or something similar.</p>

<p>^what was that an answer to…like what question? was the progression thing?</p>

<p>^“what is the purpose of the man’s words to stayker”</p>

<p>^that was solution to his dissatisfaction</p>

<p>that was the solution to his dissatisfaction was the answer i had as well.</p>
