<p>@bearbox: i’m sure that it’s tractable, not noxious. Stalin was a very controversial political leader, so CB would not dare to claim pro-Stalin art are politically noxious.</p>
<p>@yogurtrepublic: i remember there’s some description about people at that village indicating that they loved to stay there and wanted to avoid going beyond the moutain => stable enviroment right?</p>
<p>@Lucazzz You’re right about the cultural environment, but I’m still ambivalent about the part on stable environment. The author did describe how the place is shut out from the realms of the world outside, making it insulated from external cultures. I wish we can read over the paragraph again. I might have missed a point.
Now that you’re here, do you remember any transition phrases that would make the stalin question go like:
‘<em>Although</em> the works of art are pro-stalin, the critics still find them politically noxious’
I agree on tractable, but if that transition word exists like bearbox stated then it’s definitely noxious.</p>
<p>i didnt think i miss a transition like that @@ the sentence is like “The critics contemped that artist’s pro-Stalin ballets and operas because they think those were ____”. And i dont think the point here is pro-Stalin or anti-Stalin is noxious, which depends on whether that transition exists or not, because i think CB will definitely avoid making such extreme claim about politics. And as far as i know, Stalin really had reputation for controlling the mass :D</p>
<p>**** i put noxious :(</p>
<p>for the q of catalog. is variety of experience choiceC?</p>
<p>Does anyone remember all the options for the Stalin question??</p>
<p>for the noxious one. i think noxious is right.
‘Although the works of art are pro-stalin, the critics still find them politically noxious’
pay attention to the word critic. See all the q in OG or real test, critic is always referred to negative tone.
tractable, well, sure stalin is a controversary man ,and people in that period were tractable. But would CB let u consider so much historical context on a single SC? i think tractable is inferred too much</p>
<p>@Lucazzz I didn’t think I would miss something like that either. Even if so some people are going to sue CB for insulting Stalin. Stalin was notorious for use of propaganda, glad we have that settled.
People loving the place and not wanting to leave would make it seem as though isolated though, but I guess it does indicate a concept of a culturally stable place.
On a second thought, what if stable environment really refers to a stable physical environment? The question didn’t specifically mention anything about culture, and the only answer choice that mentions ‘culture’ is ‘cultural vacuum’. </p>
<p>@AuroraHotaru Sorry again! Letters are hard to remember. But variety of experience is correct if you’re wondering!</p>
<p>AuroraHotaru, we don’t know if “Although” exists. Did you specifically remember seeing a transition word? Critics finding the work to be pro-stalin and tractable can also be negative, because they are accusing the opera to be too easy to control.</p>
<p>@AuroraHotaru: nope, if the sentence was like “Although the works of art are pro-stalin, the critics still find them politically noxious” then CB requires too much reference. It assumes that all of international test-takers, including many Russians, will consider pro-stalin arts are politically noxious… And i dont think it does not make sense when art critics fight with an artist because of his political view but not the artistics aspects of his work. In this context it’s more likely that the critics criticize the artist because he let his work become means of politics movement, which literally means “politcally tractable”.</p>
<p>@yogurtrepublic: i remember the question asks about the author’s view of the village. So to the author, who spent time living and creating his identity there and then leaving it, the village should be a “stable enviroment”, especially compared to his conflicted state now.</p>
<p>@Lucazz. If CB considers all test takers, it would be a so painstaking process to design a test as it has to make sure it doesn’t make offense to anyone. </p>
<p>anyway i just think that tractable inferred too much. </p>
<p>@yogurt
tractable to some extant can has a negetive tone. But again i think it is referred too much.</p>
<p>just personal opinion/</p>
<p>@Lucazzz, I personally still find stable environment to require too much inference as opposed to the cultural vacuum that is clearly discussed upon near the beginning of the paragraph, but I do see your point about the stable-unstable comparison with his conflicted state. @AuroraHotaru, just personal opinion here too, not carved on stone!
With that said I need to go to bed, it’s almost 2am. Had a great talk with Lucazzz, AuroraHotaru and Bearbox! :)</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the q in butterfly passage "What is the most pertinent way for her to respond to his claim? About the horse thingy…</p>
<p>for the flimsly unsafe q in the building passage. is it choice C? i remember another choice is abt factory workers. is the “factory worker” the same choice as “flimsly unsafe buildings”???</p>
<p>Hey guys…</p>
<p>I took the Oct SAT and am contemplating about canceling it…
After reading all the CR posts, I am really confused.
Could anyone list all the reading passages that were on the test? </p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>does anyone remember the SC answer “annotate” ??? is it a q in experimental or not?</p>
<p>does anyone remember a question with options revere and reprove who quote went something like this - "the employees worked extra hours because they wanted to ______ the boss who got angry …</p>
<p>secondly, what were the quotes for the licentious and proprietary answers?</p>
<p>@iamthebist
the answer of employee q is propitiate.</p>
<p>can’t quite remember the context of the licentious. btw, are u sure proprietary is the right answer? can’t remember it</p>
<p>Does anybody remember the content of the short passages of the additional examination?</p>
