<p>I think I got masculinity/femininity</p>
<p>Cool cause I was unsure about that one but that was the only answer choice that would boost a kid's ego hehe</p>
<p>lol i recall the masc/fem as an answer choice for the kids & media passage written by the film critic but i doubt that was it - nothing mentioned about diffs or similarities btwn males and females so the whole mas/fem is really irrelevant and comes out of no where. you have no text to support that info.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, I had the sawdust one in my writing section. I put no error for it.</p>
<p>Wait, which passage was the mascu/femin from</p>
<p>for the Indian passage, with the line about the guy's mind which comes AFTER the list of diverse things (black, white, American, etc.)... the options were
- transition
- claim
- elaboration</p>
<p>I maintain that it was elaborating, because it didn't significantly allude to any claim made later on, and it wasn't much of a transition, because the sentences went "black, white, bla bal bla. All of this does is molded in my mind bla bla. How I love them!" and then it begins to launch into how he is a head-in-the-sand sort of writer. The sentence in question does not seem to transition... I mean, it's certainly relevant information, but with the "how I love them!" sentence in between, it didn't seem to be bridging those two lines of thought.</p>
<p>It did sort-of-kind-of elaborate on the diverse list, however, because it states that they are products of his mind, shaped and born of it, etc. Hence, I put elaboration... but even I am having my doubts.</p>
<p>any one else want to share their reasoning?</p>
<p>what about the pulp one? only one person mentioned it so farr .. i put inferior form of literature too. i remember another answer choice was like cheap paper</p>
<p>what did passage 1 utilize that passage 2 did not? political something or scientific observation? (the lions)</p>
<p>oh and also, from the dino passage it said what did character mean? i was stuck between personality and nature and i went with nature</p>
<p>i said reputation</p>
<p>Was anecdote a choice? I think it was.</p>
<p>I put pertinant observation b/c the only other logical choice involved other people's attitudes (something like explanation for people's ATTITUDES). There wasn't really so much attitude as praise (slight difference in my opinion...). However, the quote does take into account of the narrator's observation..thus it is pertinant... I dunno. That's my reasoning</p>
<p>wharton - for that one i put personal anecdote</p>
<p>i think it was "personal anecdote", Wharton</p>
<p>was that a choice? i don't remember that choice was it in there w/ political and science?</p>
<p>i don't know why, but i remember putting 'capacity' for the question about character.</p>
<p>and i have no idea at all about masc/femin. i'm gonna stick with advertising lol.</p>
<p>I changed to explanation instead of pertinent observation because</p>
<ul>
<li>What Mark Twain said did NOT reflect what was going on - IE, they critisized him. Therefore, rather than assuming that the quote was incorrect, the authors posits an explanation that people must not need him.</li>
</ul>
<p>eeedits: i had the same reasoning</p>
<p>I'm feeling soooo good about the CR on this SAT....maybe I'll get higher than 680 this time (abysmal score!)</p>
<p>does anyone remember the masc/femin question? it's not ringing a belll</p>
