January 2009 SAT Critical Reading Discussion

<p>The bird wasn't being victimized...although the notion does bring an amusing picture to my mind.</p>

<p>I thought it was mislead.</p>

<p>was the answer misled? that's what i put.</p>

<p>Haha yeah it's not victimized. You use that word when someone has been taken advantage of, the birds were just misled</p>

<p>yea its DEFinitely not victimized.....thats personfying the bird which CB wont do</p>

<p>I said mislead, but victimize does make more sense. The artists didn't lead anyone into a wrong direction since he didn't intend to have the bird fly into the painting, I guess?</p>

<p>i put mislead also ...</p>

<p>for the question about the girl , does anyone remember the exact wording and the answer choices?</p>

<p>it was like peevish, nunplusses, and i dont remember other choices</p>

<p>the answer was nonplussed to that one since she was left speechless.</p>

<p>nonplussed was the right answer. for sure. Too bad for me..</p>

<p>what was the researcher pioneer sentence completion</p>

<p>was it researcher?</p>

<p>i think i put amateur ..</p>

<p>now that i think of it ur right</p>

<p>I said amateur...the person has to be someone who works out of interest, not profession.</p>

<p>whadda ya think the CR curve will be ?? a better than usual or not</p>

<p>amateur...</p>

<p>Jan tests are usually known to have harsh curves but I thought the reading section was harder compared to the Dec one so idk..</p>

<p>was the answer the the question with the painter about collobaration and deception feigned innocence or wry amusement?</p>

<p>was one of the rock n roll answers - pass 1 talked about a broader context while pass. 2 had something to do with demographics?</p>

<p>i think wry amusement</p>
