<p>yea it was epic simile. i dont remember anything else omg</p>

22

<p>yeah im starting to remember things as i read through this…</p>

<p>for Mrs. Slipslop, what was the point? Vanity, Greed, class snobbery? That sort of went over my head…</p>

<p>In that vein, the question about the “liquid element” - was that an example of diction?</p>

<p>And lastly, for the excerpt about the Lily, what was the “logged”? I think i said it was a corpse…</p>

23

<p>^corpse it was.</p>

24

<p>

</p>

<p>Yep, it was the exact same test. And, as far as I remember, same as January 2009.</p>

<p>“or Mrs. Slipslop, what was the point? Vanity, Greed, class snobbery?”</p>

<p>i put class snobbery … anyone else?</p>

26

<p>Yay I put epic similie!</p>

27

<p>Jackdaniels - I put greed, but I noticed on the other links posted by gcf, many people put vanity.</p>

28

<p>I also put class snobbery, but I guess I had interpretted the story wrong. It seems it is vanity</p>

29

<p>i put vanity. i don’t think there was any indication as to what socioeconomic class she was from</p>

30

<p>I’m going to ask a stupid question: didn’t that question (the one you’re all talking about that had answer choices of vanity, class snobbery, etc) say something along the lines of a “failed ridiculed” theme? I wanted to pick vanity because I felt that that was the most prominent theme in the story but that one word, “failed” made me to pick something else that had nothing to do with the story.</p>

<p>Also, what was the “liquid element”? I put ambiguous because it was definitely ambiguous to me =_= :D</p>

31

<p>hmm i don’t remember anything about failed ridicule
and i left the one about liquid element blank because i had no idea</p>

32

<p>Yep. Same test as June of last year. </p>

<p>They kept saying Dee (Wangero) because (I think), Dee was trying to change her ideas by changing her name…</p>

<p>Liquid thing is ambiguity as far as I’m concerned…</p>

<p>Hope everyone did well!!!</p>

33

<p>For liquid element I put inflated diction, but I really wasn’t sure…</p>

<p>Come to think of it, it could have been ambiguity.</p>

<p>Ehh I missed 6 questions because I ran out of time. I basically decided to do Lit last minute since it’s my last SAT date and I had space for an extra test. What would 6 omits and 10 wrong get me?</p>

34

<p>I’m pretty sure it was class snobbery
Cause the story was about servants making fun of their mistress, by imitating them.</p>

35

<p>hahahaha. Where did you see servants? In your lunchbox? The dialogue was between an old woman and a young man who was rejecting her love.</p>

<p>And it definitely was ‘inflated diction’ since ‘liquid element’ is such a nice and grandiose way of saying wa’er.</p>

<p>6 omit 10 wrong is about 600-650, I guess?</p>

<p>I thought it was harder than the practice tests on PR, but that was probably because I ran out of time perfecting my bubbles.</p>

36

<p>yeah i definitely didn’t see anything about servants. Bilguun’s description is right</p>

<p>and i agree that it was harder than the PR tests… what do you guys think the curve will be like?</p>

37

<p>hah did anyone else put false modesty for that?!?
for the liquid element i put paradoxical description hahahaha ad;fklajd;
and for the Dee/Wangero one i put a contest for affection…</p>

38

<p>I had three unfinished…hm:/ and the Yolanda one I rushed very badly…suspecting my general understanding of the passage as my dominant language isn’t English,may I ask if the article discussed how Yoalnda’s mother didn’t know her daughter that well?And…what did u put for Yo’s boyfriend’s “Really” being everything except___?
By the way,I don’t remember I put down inflated diction or paradox…ambiguity,maybe?</p>

39

<p>yea. it was definitely about some servants because in the last few lines it says that the woman who was in love had to go because her mistress called her.</p>

40

<p>It was definitely about servants, and I also thought it was “false modesty”. The irony of the woman’s speech was in how she accepted the compliment from the young man.</p>
