<p>We'll find out on June 26th. Forget about it...</p>
<p>I'll eat my head, and shave my socks if it's not puzzlement/fabricating.</p>
<p>THAT'S how confident i am.</p>
<p>I'll eat your head if it isn't edifying</p>
<p>i kept going back and forth between the two but i ended up putting puzzlement/fabricating.. TBH either could be right.</p>

I'm also for enigma/edifying. The puzzle/fabricating one was too literal a meaning for the passage. The entire thing was written with metaphors.

<p>wait, question here, i thought we were suppose to be LITERAL on the passages anyway (according to RR) so that's why i put puzzlement/fabrication. Also, i thought the passages were relatively straightforward anyway.</p>
<p>Puzzlement/Fabricating - XiΞiX, that's right, these type of questions are literal.</p>
<p>OK- It was enigma/edifying. This was a line reference question, it was clear that in context fable did not mean a fabrication. Although fables are often fabrications, the reading sections tests your READING COMPREHENSION, and tests your ability to look beyond a familiar definition which you've previously attached to a word. In the context of the line, fabrication made NO SENSE.</p>
<p>enigmatic/edifying. </p>
<p>you think we should write to college board? there were some really ambiguous questions on this test, especially in the CR section. i bet if they realized that we could all raise our scores like 20 pts. :)</p>
<p>Riddle = enigma. That's all there is to it. Simple. Done.</p>
<p>Quick question: The art one, with the "swaths" of blank space or whatever... yeaaaaah, what was the answer to that one? I think I omitted that but for some reason I just could not decide and I wanna know what you guys put.</p>
<p>ignorance was the answer, codered</p>
<p>i see, alright thanks man. i can't remember which answers I had left but it came down to 3 including ignorance and it made me too angry to even guess haha.</p>
<p>Enigmatic/edifying</p>
<p>;)</p>
<p>Someone email college board.... I want to get my points...</p>
<p>I put puzzling & fabricating too !!!!!</p>
<p>IF it were edyfiy, what was the MORAL he was trying to teach?</p>
<p>CCFanatic I wouldn't normally correct you on spelling but edyfiy is way out of the line, lol. Edify. And it doesn't HAVE to necessarily mean he is trying to teach a moral.</p>
<p>Puzzling/fabricating ftw!...</p>
<p>rofl write to collegeboard after we get the scores... cuz they will know that we "discussed" the answers.. all 50 of us.</p>
<p>I didn't even take this test. But I want to throw in that when I learned about fables in like fourth grade, I learned the term "tall tale" as synonymous. A quick google search reveals that by almost every definition, a fable is a made-up story, often with a moral. So I don't think that the "fable doesn't necessarily mean that it's fabricated" argument is legitimate -- the question is, as has been discussed, whether or not the commonly-known definition 'fabrication' was just a distractor because of the fact that it's a well-known definition (and they may want you to look deeper into it.) </p>
<p>Also, guys, stop whining about writing to collegeboard. Yes, there are ambiguous questions with multiple right answers, as is bound to be the case when a test involves INTERPRETING WRITING. Every SAT book, notably the collegeboard official one, says something to the effect of "keep in mind that more than one answer might be CORRECT -- your task is to discern the BEST answer."</p>
<p>I. I think we both agree that puzzling or enigmatic both work, so we should focus on the second word...</p>
<p>II. definitions: (from Dictionary.com)
fable: a story not founded on fact
edifying: to instruct or benefit, esp. morally or spiritually; uplift
fabrication: (fabricate) To make, create; the act or process of fabricating, manufacturing</p>
<p>Based on these definitions, it appears fabrication was more suitable to represent fables. If you find another definition that actually works for edifying, then please share it.</p>
