International SAT December 1st 2012 Discussion for Critical Reading

<p>@ piscinemolitar
Hope it is right :). Because I think I got the coin in front of the 24 hour convenient store and the untold(uninformed/numerous and unnamed) question wrong.</p>

<p>Dear Shuffling,</p>

<p>Now I remember. Yes, it was the one that stated something on the experience of the artist. I remember seeing education somewhere, but I’m not clear in what context. For the absurd question, I marked absurd. The question was asking how the author feels for the “modern, mass-produced” food. He had an interjection in the middle of his sentence where he attempted to be sarcastic on what the food industries label as “fresh, mineral water.” In my opinion, he was insinuating how ridiculous the labels are. </p>

<p>Sincerely,
Freudandjung</p>

<p>If you believe the answer choice, convenient, is correct, proceed to do so. Perhaps I’m wrong. There’s no way to be completely certain unless the person is in the collegeboard committee.</p>

<p>hey guys! What is the question to the answer choice “the shards were found after the author focused on the stone” in the hiking / architect passage?</p>

<p>(Hiking / architect passage) Was there another choice, “She didn’t find what she had expected to find” along with the choice, “map was misleading (water)?”</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Dear piscinemolitar, </p>

<p>It is important to note on the first paragraph. The author’s tone was much more evident throughout the first paragraph- remember when the author was comparing how food has evolved from being fresh into a mass-produced “something.” Moreover, you must consider the diction “tout” in the second last sentence. Tout refers to an attempt to sell (something), typically by pestering people in an aggressive or bold manner. The author is implying that this way of advertising junk food as convenient and nutritious, is absolutely absurd. </p>

<p>Again, there is no way to be completely certain.</p>

<p>@Freudandjung how about the educational value one? You still remember?</p>

<p>Hey guys, what are your opinions on this question in the Uncle’s Book passage:
What is the passage about in overall?

  1. How their past experiences attributed to their current attitudes
  2. About their past</p>

<p>I chose #1… but some ppl are saying its 2.</p>

<p>Dear Shuffling, </p>

<p>I remember an answer choice on “educational value,” and so on and so forth, but I can’t remember what the question was.</p>

<p>@Adebayor123
same with you.
@Freudandjung
The question was: how is passage 1 differ from passage 2?
A) Passage 1 focuses on comic’s educational value
B) Passage 1 focuses on the experiences of some artists.</p>

<p>number 18 in the grid in was 6 is it ?</p>

<p>you mean the one about 100~110? It was 6.
Anyone remember the alternating number one? I think I put 8.</p>

<p>Dear Shuffling,</p>

<p>Yes, as you’ve mentioned before, the answer is B.</p>

<p>I believe map was misleading was same answer choice as she didnt find what she was expected to find… people just worded differently… </p>

<p>and I believe numerous/unnamed and uninformed were different question???</p>

<p>@olaolaolaola
No… It was the same question about what does it mean by “untold workers”.</p>

<p>Is there any other people who, in the Soap Opera paragraph, did not move the sentence to before sentence 7 and left as it was? ==</p>

<p>I think I won’t get as high a score as I expected from maths. But idk since I had 4 maths sections.</p>

<p>Oh well.</p>

<p>I put uninformed… but people said it was numerous/unnamed… what did you put?</p>

<p>and can anyone confirm that “map was misleading” = “author didn’t find what he expected to find”??? as same answer choice?</p>

<p>can’t it also be uninformed since the sentence showed how they could not see the drawing as art?</p>
