<p>Can someone please tell me the SC with “mitigate”? I don’t remember it for some reason</p>
<p>it is rancor because the question said…“they deserved the ____ and rancor they recieved frim the crowd”</p>
<p>does anyone rember the science question where it says “these are the excited and exciting scientist” THEn the question ask …what does the author think of CERTAIN scientist (it didnt say these scientist but the other scientist who are not excited about there job)?? i dnt remember the choices but i put a negative word</p>
<p>the answer to the thoef question is stealth for it said something about then travelling on and on. the passage said nothing to conjure up the thought that they were never free before</p>
<p>sententia, it was inexpensive motel. I almost put scenic route, but when I reread the line they had listed in the question, it started with “there were less <em>sentimental</em> reasons for taking the back roads,” and then listed three or four consecutive economical reasons, so I realized inexpensive motel was the best answer</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The strengths of the word are inherent in their definitions; strength is entirely relevant.</p>
<p>“rancor”: The delegates’ behavior was highly disgraceful and fully warranting of the [bitter deep-seated ill will] that it provoked.</p>
<p>“compunction”: The delegates’ behavior was highly disgraceful and fully warranting of the [anxiety arising from awareness of guilt/ distress of mind over an anticipated action or result] that it provoked.</p>
<p>The former is not only better, but is also the only logical choice.</p>
<p>OK, I’m going to bring back the discussion about the mutation and why it was significant…</p>
<p>I said it demonstrates the unpredictability of nature because the scientist said something like</p>
<p>“we dont know that it had happened or that it could happen.”</p>
<p>I’m still debating in my head over the “inexpensive motel” and “unaccustomed freedom” choices… I wish I was able to locate the original text so I could confirm stuff.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Why, then, did the scientist’s discussion begin with the puzzle metaphor?</p>
<p>eternal heart- mitigate was about how the habits of industrialism contributing to global warming were so well “established” the agency could not do anything to “mitigate” their effects, or something similar to that</p>
<p>Silverturtle, I don’t know, but just because the passage talked about the puzzle metaphor earlier does not necessitate the rest of the answers to revolve around that.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The metaphor provides the context for interpreting the rest of the scientist’s comments.</p>
<p>“compunction” is definitely not the answer. Every dictionary definition makes it clear that the word revolves around doubt – there was nothing doubtful of the delegates’ behavior. </p>
<p>If they wanted us to go with “compunction,” they would have said “questionable behavior,” not “highly disgraceful behavior.”</p>
<p>any1 answering my questions?</p>
<p>Which passage was the brand new shoe question on? I don’t remember it.</p>
<p>@cjester- Oh ok, thanks. I remember it now. =)</p>
<p>How do guys think the difficulty of today’s CR compares with that of other exams?
I thought it was easier, but there are still some disputable questions.</p>
<p>This was my first SAT, but CR was easier than I expected.</p>
<p>“Father refusal to pick up soldier - Disloyal”</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the other answers for this?</p>
<p>I still don’t remember the drummer question at all :/</p>
<p>@jacktharippa- I don’t know what science passage question you’re talking about, but I put steady progression for the other one too</p>
<p>I remember that for the father not picking up the soldier another choice was Irrational.</p>
<p>Really? I said it was “shrewd”. Because later in the passage it said that the son was upset and mad at his dad…</p>
<p>
anyone?10char</p>
<p>sententia: disloyal or irrational</p>
<p>I’m still not convinced that disloyal was a better fit than irrational.</p>
