January 2010 Critical Reading

<p>The father gave superficial reasons for leaving every other hitchhiker also. I can’t say I remember the exact words he used though.</p>

<p>For progenitor/exploit, what was the actual sentence?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Saying “talked about patriotism” implies a thorough discussion of patriotism; saying the word “patriotically” is just that: the mentioning of a word.</p>

<p>Silverturtle: Made my day:) I had a bit of trouble with that section:/</p>

<p>“The discovery was a solution to the puzzle”</p>

<p>What were the other choices for that question?</p>

<p>“The discovery was a solution to the puzzle”</p>

<p>Which question was that?</p>

<p>ok guys on the passage based questions do you remember the question that appreciation was the answer to (appreciation is in the consolidated list)</p>

<p>For one question on the research scientists, I put “gave a clue to the puzzle” or something like that.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Perhaps you inferred that, but the phrase does not imply that.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Words are used to convey meaning.</p>

<p>No, but I remember marking appreciation for one question.</p>

<p>I really wasn’t sure about CR. also, is experimental the “fake” section?
there was this one guy beside me who was snoring- he finished around 15 min. early and went to sleep. I was all like holy s***. must not’ve done very well…
I really hope i do well on the SAT- i’m freaking out.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I agree with what has been posted with respect to this – with the exeption of the “provided resources for” question.</p>

<p>Silverturtle (and any others): I understand that “sedition” and “patriotism” clearly points to the choice “disloyal,” but doesn’t the overall theme/idea of a paragraph have to be consistent? I remember that the rest of the paragraph was about how Earl also dismissed a variety of different people (young and old, different professions, etc.) Wouldn’t that suggest a more “irrational” approach than a “disloyal” one?</p>

<p>i’m pretty sure it wasnt a solution to a puzzle, it was a CLUE. because in that paragraph it talked about how discovering that would be a piece of a solution</p>

<p>What I simply don’t understand about the “unaccustomed freedom” answer is its analogy to thieves… the original question was asking what the analogy with “thieves” was supposed to mean in the context of the passage. How would a bunch of thieves have ‘unaccustomed freedom’? I’m trying my hardest to understand but I can’t. Also, to reiterate what some others have argued already, I don’t recall anywhere in the passage that hinted that they were previously not free.</p>

<p>Wow… I forgot to add- how do you guys remember al that andyour answers? maybe i’m just plain dumb, thouh… :D</p>

<p>i’m pretty sure it wasnt a solution to a puzzle, it was a CLUE. because in that paragraph it talked about how discovering that would be a piece of a solution</p>

<p>^^oh yeah i remember now i put clue</p>

<p>billsrage, I don’t think “clue” and “solution” were two separate answer choices. The correct answer was something like that though.</p>

<p>Definitely CLue^^^^^^^^^^^</p>

<p>Thats wat i put. I dont think solution to puzzle was answer choice. Answer choice was like clue to a puzzle.</p>

<p>fledgling–It was thieves escaping from prison. After someone has been in prison for awhile, he or she would be unaccustomed to freedom.</p>

<p>I believe the question asked specifically about the soldier. Can anyone confirm this?</p>
