USA June 2011 SAT Critical Reading Thread

<p>does anyone know the other options to the question about drudge? apart from complexity?</p>

<p>Inquisitive (I’m pretty sure). It was a Michael Pollan passage from The Botany of Desire.</p>

<p>ME TOO! I had that passage too and I had a really hard time. I’m hoping that was the experimental one.</p>

<p>^The garden passage was not experimental.</p>

<p>can anyone remember the question for which we assume the answer was the complexity of internet gossip?</p>

<p>@tibike45 thats what i have been trying to figure out too! and the other choices, because i have a small feeling i put that, but i dont know for sure</p>

<p>hi sanch honestly i don’t remember specifically that question…was the answer quite obvious or not?</p>

<p>i don’t really remember if the text mentioned the complexity of internet gossip</p>

<p>hahahaha i really don’t know! hopefully someone else does!</p>

<p>hey guys, does anyone remeber the answer for the question in the interent gossip passage about “why did the author note Dugan in the passage” or something along those lines</p>

<p>I put complexity of internet gossip (and how its different cuz of subset of population reads newspapers but) </p>

<p>i thinkthe text supported it, but I’ll be more certain if i get the exact question.</p>

<p>I don’t understand why everyone is so sure that the answer is “familiar but undeserved”. I put “harsh but accurate”. The two authors seemed to agree on their characterization of the teachers/parents. One of them was just “harsher”, but not fundementally different.</p>

<p>^ I believe I put that as well.</p>

<p>Nick, I agree with you fully. I’m seriously just unable to understand how in the world it could be “familiar but undeserved.”</p>

<p>he understood what the passage 1 author meant but he didn’t think it was a conclusion that was deserving of what passage 1 made it seem like</p>

<p>Author 2 essentially said that censors are trash, but author 1 stated it directly.</p>

<p>im pretty sure author 1 said that censors are “bad” people but that author two said that censors aren’t completely terrible, but there is a better way to control what the kids read (i think the author said something about selective editing)</p>

<p>so, based on that stream of thought, i put familiar but undeserved</p>

<p>Yes, but she made a distinction between selection and censorship (that was another question) which made me seem like she wanted to distance herself from censors (I’m assuming the author is a she).</p>

<p>Was the 24 question one the experimental?
Cuz I know the indian one was 23 questions and the other one was 25 questions.</p>
