January 2009 SAT Critical Reading Discussion

<p>There was a vocab question which included choices which had the words 'lucid' and 'poignant' it.</p>

<p>Which one was it?</p>

<p>(scientific method passage was ridic btw)
Idr what I put but it wasn't that one. sorry :(</p>

<p>it was lucid..i think</p>

<p>i think i put lucid for that, but i was deciding between those two also</p>

<p>zenthyz i was about to puyt that but read 5 lines up and down. nowehre did it talk about failing to address teh issues. The answwer through POE had to be lack fo financial resources impeded scientific discvoery, thats why the needed triple the funding.</p>

<p>lucid
ingette: tone for diversity discussion, the entire rest of the passage warns against homogenization</p>

<p>i put a for the wry amusement question lol..</p>

<p>I didnt put that for the science one. I cant rmr what i put! ahhh</p>

<p>ingette: i put signal shift from past to present as well. Man what were the rock questions for number 19 and 20. they were main ideas.</p>

<p>zenthyz: i put the one about the scientific community having enjoyed an elevated status in society or w/e, but now that i think about it it was prob wrong</p>

<p>lucid. 10char.</p>

<p>The past to present answer/question baffled me. I didn't think it would be from past to present because the nomads still existed so it wouldn't be the past. Although the answer I put wasn't that good because the next paragraph barely talked about diversity.</p>

<p>exceptional status was definitely right, though i don't think that's the question he was talking about.</p>

<p>wait exceptional status... i dont think so.....</p>

<p>what was the difference between "specialization" and "specialization" a little later?</p>

<p>^ I picked whichever answer-choice had the phrase "overly complex".</p>

<p>word^</p>

<p>also elevated status was right, but I can't even remember the other question you guys are talking about.</p>

<p>exceptional status was right..</p>

<p>that was a tough question</p>

<p>yeah vellity lolcat i put the exceptional status, im pretty sure that was right
What did you guys put for the one with the rock passage and it gave you a quote from each of the two passages. i put to qualify a staetment</p>

<p>Does anyone know which one besides newton was experimental??</p>
