<p>Once you matriculate into a college, I don’t think SATs matter anymore in any transfer situation. It’s all about your GPA and what not.</p>

You can’t support amusing with any part of the the passage. The narrator did not comically add more practical reasons, he added them so that the reader could infer the father’s loathing for turnpikes was not the only reason he chose not to take them. Then the author lists the practical reasons, all which were economical. </p>

<p>what was the question that didactic was the answer and if you know other choices</p>
<p>How would you describe the tone of passage 1 (The mother teaching her daughter how to write fiction) in comparison to passage 2</p>
<p>Or something like that</p>
<p>and there was definitely a question on something maybe the “celestial studies led to the formation of a new science” im pretty sure</p>
<p>Does anyone remember. for the double writing passages, this question:
“in the 2nd passage, the “serious writers (line x)” are most concerned with?” I slightly remember “preserve artistic integrity” or something along those lines. Can someone confirm this so we can add this to the list?</p>
<p>Also, did we ever figure out which question had somber and breezy as answer choices? It definitely wasn’t the “didactic” question…</p>
<p>(I’m just trying to complete the list haha; if these are two questions that can be added, I believe we only need 2 more for all 67) :o</p>
<p>Oh, I’m pretty sure that the question with somber and breezy is one of the questions were up there, because I remember seeing somber and eliminating it. Not sure which one it is though.</p>
<p>instead of incomplete, i was thinking defended… because if you read the rest of the paragraph, they gave other reasons to DEFEND his point of view… soo even though his explanation was “incomplete” it was also “defended”… if that makes sense.</p>
<p>IAmABeast–Sorry I don’t understand your argument for defended.</p>
<p>The somber and breezy was the last question in one section, asking about the tone of a passage - I think it may have been the passage about the shifting of earth’s plates? I’m pretty sure it isn’t one of the ones up there.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I do not remember this AT ALL.</p>

<p>I remember that.</p>
<p>I don’t remember shifting plates. Did you have a CR experimental?</p>
<p>@Kean: don’t remember the passage or question? I think (hope) it may have been experimental.</p>
<p>ETA: I honestly don’t understand how experimental works (my first SAT, haha), but it sounds like a lot of people don’t remember it, so I guess so.</p>
<p>@regina</p>
<p>I don’t remember that question either. Was it experimental?</p>
<p>@billsrage
I think you’re referring to the question whose answer is “Explain a problem that affected the development of the field”</p>
<p>no the somber one was experimental. I had that choice and it wasnt on the 3 that were counted. I answered caustic cause i had no idea what it ment. Good thing it wasnt used = D</p>
<p>I did not have an experimental CR (and thus did not have the tectonic plates section); however, I do remember a question having “somber” and “breezy” as answer choices…but everyone apparently also remembers this, but I don’t think we’re certain about the exact question yet.</p>
<p>olleger: Yeah, I was going to say I thought caustic was another choice, but I wasn’t sure. I’ll be so grateful if that was experimental, I didn’t understand that passage and I omitted that question.</p>
<p>wait…if the fathers reasons were PRACTICal
wouldnt they be
DEFENSIBLE?</p>
