<p>it IS inexpensive motels because all of the things in the list had to do with pricing…and only inexpensive motels had prince/money as a factor in it</p>
<p>hostile would be kind of severe/harsh, so i picked skepticism since it’s mild doubt</p>
<p>what was the author skeptical about?</p>
<p>Ice:</p>
<p>Yes, but the passage also specifically said that they didn’t intend to use motels. You don’t plan your trip around staying near inexpensive motels if you don’t plan to stay at a motel.</p>
<p>I feel like the hostility/skepticism question was on the humor in the workplace passages. If that’s so, both passages seemed pretty hostile to me.</p>
<p>About the inexpensive motels vs faster travel, I had this same debate in my head when I was taking the test. I ended up putting inexpensive motels since it was the only one directly related to the economy of the trip.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You never answer a question directed toward a specific line with an answer that responds to the entirety of the passage. The question asked which of the following could be another one of the “reasons” stated in line __. All the reasons stated in said line were economical ones, thus cheap motels was the only viable answer.</p>
<p>the only way it wouldn’t be inexpensive motels is if you overanalyze the whole passage. but it is the correct choice because it has to do with money just like cheaper gasoline</p>
<p>was incomplete an answer?</p>
<p>I agree with Jersey… </p>
<p>the question is asking you to choose an answer given ONLY that sentence.</p>
<p>two questions…
- are you sure the answer is austere/unadorned? i seem to recall the sentence saying that essentially although the other statues were brightly colored they were less__ which implies that the missing word was a favorable quality of the greek statues that wasn’t found in the colorful ones
i think i chose plain/ornate? any one with me/can explain why i’m wrong (maybe i’m not remembering the sentence correctly?)</p>
<ol>
<li>did the CR vocab seem harder than usual? this was my first actual test, but on the practice tests i generally have scored highest on CR but the sentence completion questions seemed trickier than usual. is there any chance of a good curve?</li>
</ol>
<p>Yepp agree with powerbomb and Jersey.
on what date are scores released?</p>
<p>and @kisskissbangbang - I think the second part of the question stated that the new statues weren’t AS [blank], so it couldn’tve been ornate.</p>
<p>yes, within the specified lines (which gave examples of ways to save money on the trip) inexpensive motels makes the most sense</p>

<p>Jersey,</p>
<p>What’s the trend of 1 omit vs 1 correct?</p>
<p>For the one about the “comic clowns” or something like that in the short 2 passages on humor in the work place, what did you guys get?</p>
<p>my two cents:</p>
<p>greek columns were austere but then they found that they were unadorned.
Virgil’s dad’s face was tender.
virgil’s dad’s list was incomplete
another thing that belongs on his list are cheap motels
virgil thought his dad was being disloyal
the mood was wistful.
cowboy dad = exuberance
penchant for colorful locutions
the motto of the writer was arrogant.
the author of passage one is most like the 19th century writers
the author found the humor in business skeptical
thieves = unaccustomed freedom.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s only correct in a certain case. This sort of thing tripped me up as well when I began practicing for the SAT.</p>
<p>There’s a difference between questions that ask</p>
<p>“In line x, what should be added?”</p>
<p>And</p>
<p>“In line x the author suggests what?”</p>
<p>The first one can be answered with info from anywhere in the passage, the second asks for an answer drawn from a certain line.</p>
<p>And with the other reasons question, you can’t support a single one of the other answers.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Don’t really understand your question.</p>
<p>agree with all urs buzzer.</p>
<p>what are the other 7 sc, we have 12?</p>
<p>For the humor and business one, I said that the the two authors probably agree that humor is only acceptable at certain times/places.</p>
<p>^ That’s correct. The two authors would agree that humor is not always appropriate.</p>

Two authors agree that humor is not acceptable in all situations</p>
<p>also, for the novel question</p>
<p>the author of passage 1 would care less about the negative effects of commercial consideration? </p>
<p>and “bench” is unncessary something for the readers</p>
