<p>Can we put up all the sentence completions answers, all 19 of them for the three CR section from the Dec 5th 2009 SAT? on the cr thread it is unclear and vague and only 11 are listed</p>

2

<p>any1? bumpppppppp</p>

3

<p>wow no1 cares about CR sentence completion</p>

4

<p>I care i’m just not sure which questions specifically you’re talking about because there was more than 19. </p>

<p>i’ll try to start though:

  1. question with dull, heavy man in contrast to bright young woman.
    two of the answer choices:
    foil…inspiration
    …pedantic(forgot first part of answer choice)</p>

<p>sorry i suck at this :/</p>

<p>deva</p>

5

<p>wowwwwwwwwwww</p>

6

<p>thx devaaaaa</p>

7

<p>haha um BUMP?</p>

8

<p>what was the pedantic i dont rmemeber that</p>

9

<p>ahh it was one of the answer questions. sadly, i picked foil…inspiration at first but then thought the foil didn’t make sense so switched to the pedantic one. but pedantic is the complete opposite of the bright and energetic girl, so i should’ve stayed with the other choice.</p>

<p>ahh, the SAT gamble…i hate it.</p>

10

<p>Yeah pedantic is like a stickler for academic correctness…</p>

11

<p>I believe it’s something like:
“In the book, the hero’s dull speech and plodding behavior make him a perfect ____ for the witty and ____ heroine.”</p>

<p>foil, vivacious</p>

<p>Historian Cornell West argues that both the African and European continents have seen _____ histories, ones varying times of barbarism with humanism.</p>

<p>uneven vs. discursive</p>

<p>My loner brother showers his few friends with generous and meaningful gifts; in this way, he is both ____ and ____.</p>

<p>solitary, demonstrative</p>

<p>His skills as a debater made him somewhat of a ____; he would lure his opponents into agreements only to trap them in their own words and attack back. (urgh, fail, but something resembling that sentence lol)</p>

<p>sophist</p>

<p>The council members were condemned for their _____ of the public’s trust and legally punished for their _____.</p>

<p>betrayal, venality</p>

<p>Sea turtles and tortoises are famous for their _<strong><em>; one tortoise in the (some random zoo/aquarium name) of San Fransisco reputably lived to a </em></strong> 230 years old.</p>

<p>longevity, legendary (although I’m pretty sure I messed up the blanks in the sentence lol)</p>

<p>Yeah. There’s some of the obvious ones I could think of now/no one cares about anymore. But I tried. Alas…:)</p>

12

<p>…more…(in case anyone’s still interested in my non-photographic memory having successful flashes)</p>

<p>Greek comic playwrights often _____ their rulers, in one play replacing a hated despot with a sausage seller.</p>

<p>lampooned</p>

<p>Although London has been known for its dull and _____ use of land and planning, recently the city has been successfully ____ its old buildings and turning them into parts of a newly brightened landscape.</p>

<p>uninspired, restoring</p>

<p>Then something about:</p>

<p>The book was composed of short _____, all leading into the central blah blah blah…
-vignettes</p>

<p>The plans they made were truly ____; nothing they did seemed to hold any consideration for the future…?
-myopic</p>

<p>…and I’m out again…</p>

13

<p>For those who used them, how did direct hits:volumes 1 and 2 perform on this test?</p>

14

<p>I did the DH, PR, and RR bunch, and they did pretty well. They were fairly successful in eliminating other choices.</p>

15

<p>do you think you got any vocab wrong? if so, how many?</p>

16

<p>@random</p>

<p>thx mann, do u know the other answer chocies with sophist cuz for some reason i cant remmeebr the sophist one</p>

17

<p>also what were the other answer choices for the uninspired, restoring</p>

<p>i cant remember these for some odd reason i just breezed the SC’S and went straight to the passages</p>

18

<p>there was also one:</p>

<p>the court ______ laws so the public would construe it to represent public waste is ok</p>

<p>like : legislate, codify, enact, relax</p>

<p>any1 rememebr this im sure this was one of them sc’s in the cr section</p>

19

<p>I think that for the “sophist” question, </p>

<p>I remember the answer choices…

  • sophist
  • sage</p>

<p>Actually, that’s all I remember.</p>

20

<p>@sat4lyfe: I think the answer should have been codify because the word means to deduce law arrangments. The public wants to interpret (contrue) the laws as a public WASTE.</p>
