<p>As a whole, you’re right, but I think the author used the quotation marks around famous to really underscore the irony behind the current status of poets. The author quoted the other author in order to define what famous really is when it comes to poets.</p>
<p>So, for me, the quotation marks really underscore the point off agreement between the authors (irony) :/</p>
<p>Sent from my GT-S5360 using CC</p>
<p>um… the first one is about the food is convenient or something. The other one was how the food industry used the technology it learned in the past.</p>
<p>I can’t remember anything from the first CR section. Can anyone tell what the sentences were for </p>
<ol>
<li>Zealous, Ameliorate </li>
<li>Copious, Acerbic</li>
</ol>
<p>@piscinemolitar: Can you tell me what did you choose for these 4 questions in the writing section? These questions confused me the most… </p>
<p>1)What did you choose for the Hungary sentence with colon? It was like in Hungary his perfomance is still famous. I left it as it was.</p>
<p>2) Regarding the Soap Opera, did you place the sentence as it is? or moved to sentence 7? </p>
<p>3) Also, there was one correcting sentence in soap opera that confused me. The two choices were: earlier, in the 19xx, (someone’s name), (description), developed soap opera. The other one was: soap opera was developed by (someone’s name), (description) in 19xx. I thought Collegeboard likes active voice and tried to choose the first one. However, thought there were too many commas and chose the second one. </p>
<p>4) Last but not least, in section 10, there was a question like hoping the debris is cleaned before a student comes next week. What did you choose for this one? Again, I left as it was.</p>
<p>@Freudandjung
The first one was about a politician should be zealous about environment. Copious one is about the notes a person wrote in the book.</p>
<ol>
<li>Hungary with a colon. Not a semi-colon</li>
<li>Moved it to after sentence 7</li>
<li>The sentence that started with “Soap Opera…” </li>
<li>Left it as it is. </li>
</ol>
<p>As for the sentences on zealous and copious, would you please elaborate? I really can’t seem to remember what those questions were.</p>
<p>Wow… I think I got the moving sentence to 7 wrong… Almost everyone says so :(. For the Hungary one, the question was like someone is famous worldwide: in Hungary his performance drew many people or something.</p>
<p>Dear Shuffling, </p>
<p>If you put colon, that’s correct. Colons are used to further elaborate on a point that’s been made in the “main sentence,” that is, the sentence that precedes the colon. In this case, we had “Mozart is famous worldwide and even in east Europe.” In this case, (as it is common sense, Hungary is in east Europe) the part where he talks about Hungary is elaborating the sentence that Mozart is indeed famous worldwide.</p>
<p>Can anyone give me a full description on the sentences with the following words? </p>
<ol>
<li>Zealous, Ameliorate</li>
<li>Copious, Acerbic</li>
</ol>
<p>@Freudandjung,
I got it correct :)… What did you choose for CR question that asks the discovery the woman made in the cave is most analogous to which situation? The selections were finding an ancient pottery in the bush while looking for a soccer ball and the other one was finding a coin in front of a 24-hour convenient store. </p>
<p>@piscinemolitar
Nope… Sorry, I cannot remember the whole question.</p>
<p>Dear piscinemolitar, </p>
<p>I had a very similar question in my previous SAT in January. I wasn’t informed on how and what SAT’s were at the time, and I remember having the semi-colon-and-colon dilemma. It turns out, semi-colons are used when the two independent clauses are propagating the same idea, whereas colons are used when the proceeding sentence is further elaborating the one before the colon. I may be wrong, and please note that I can’t be completely certain for since I am not a part of the collegeboard committee. But I can say with a high degree of certainty that the sentence, indeed, is correct with the colon. </p>
<p>Sincerely,
Freudandjung</p>
<p>Dear Shuffling, </p>
<p>The passage was definitely analogous to finding an ancient pottery while looking for a soccer ball. </p>
<p>Sincerely,
Freudandjung</p>
<p>I chose finding ancient pottery while looking for soccer ball.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the sentences for the following vocabularies? </p>
<ol>
<li>Zealous, Ameliorate </li>
<li>Copious, Acerbic</li>
</ol>

How about the one about the food is convenient/absurd and the comic book has educational value/ passage 1 talks about the experience of some artists?</p>
<p>Dear Shuffling,</p>
<p>As for the food passage, the most probable answer was “absurd,” and as for the comic book passage, it was strongly hinted that the author was arguing that comic books have educational values. The author of passage 1 indeed talks about the experience of the artist. The answers you’ve listed above are correct.</p>
<p>Sincerely,
Freudandjung</p>
<p>absurd / hmm something about accepted as art / experience</p>
<p>@Freudandjung
No… The educational value and the experience of the artist was one question. The question asked how is passage 1 different from passage 2. I chose the experience of the artist… I saw none about comics having any educational value there.
For the absurd one, I actually chose convenient. While the author did have some negative connotation, I feel something is strange about the “food is absurd”. It talked about the dried food, reconstituted and resistant to harsh weathers…</p>
<p>Does anyone remember what the question was for the unique/archetypal? Everyone’s been talking about it.</p>
<p>@Freudandjung
It was about some conflict is seen throughout the history and that saying it is “unique” is not right.</p>
