June 2009 SAT Critical Reading

<p>individual v. communal.</p>

<p>1232cricket:
1 i think so
2 yes
3 yes</p>

<p>tbonus-
I got both individual and commual for that one</p>

<p>Yeah, for that question in which ppl put debate an issue, I put something that had the word acknowledge in it</p>

<p>the answer was “acknoledging a HISTORICAL FORCE”, which the author NEVER DID.</p>

<p>wait but it was kind of a historical force…how would you define that = D</p>

<p>I thought the author did acknowledge a historical force… the author said something like “Sure, the past has shown that commercialism has had an impact on universities.”, or something like that.</p>

<p>did state mean form
and dailiness mean everyday</p>

<p>Did anyone have the passage about the author and her childrens/emotional writing?</p>

<p>IdFactor-
Agreed, but idk I say 50% chance debate is right…50% chance we are right</p>

<p>Tbonus-
Ya…i got tht</p>

<p>i don’t remember one about an author and her children…</p>

<p>lol, prosaic = dull.
amazing grace = not dull. </p>

<p>she was astonishingly friendly and fluid in movement or something like that, so definitely astonishing… fluid.</p>

<p>for dailiness, I also put everyday life.</p>

<p>^yep
atleast thats what i got.</p>

<p>it better be philosophical…it talked about fate/everyone had everyone else’s genes…remember the lady at the first paragraph started off with “fate moved in”, but she was joking so she really didnt believe in philosophical stuff…but then again genes=science?</p>

<p>the volcano/cave/tropic question is just plain stupid…</p>

<p>all i know is that for the last two quesiton in the last CR section, passage 1 vs. passage 2.</p>

<p>both contained something about historical in passage 2.</p>

<p>like it was passage 1 discusses current problems while passage 2 offeres more of a historical view.? is that right?</p>

<p>Does anyone else just hate that feeling where the administrator says, “You have 5 minutes remaining” yet you have another page to do? I just wanted to light myself on fire.</p>

<p>i didn’t read anything about him being scientific. I know he talked about genes but he was using it in a historical context and not a scientific one, saying that we all had a common anscestor or something, and that just seemed philosophical to me.</p>

<p>TarHeelBound: How about when the administrator just said “You may start the exam now” and then an hour later said “put down your pencils and stop working” without a five minute warning. That happened to me during the AP English exam, sucked…</p>

<p>Oh, and did you all put Alistair was “philosophical oriented” for 1 of the questions or scientifically inclined? I had a hunch it was philosophical.</p>

<p>TarHeelBound, I like your username. :)</p>

<p>And as for the author one (which I now think was my experimental, I had 4 CR sections…) it was about Louisa May Alcott, author of Little Women.</p>

<p>I still think it’s philosophical because Alistair attempts to interpret the gene stuff, whereas she just takes it straightforwardly.</p>
