June 2009 SAT Critical Reading

<p>it’s definitely volcano, cuz a cliff is NOT IN the water.</p>

<p>I put down volcano, just because I thought it was obviously the hottest & the oldest, since I thought the two paragraphs it referenced were stressing heat & age.</p>

<p>I’m not so sure now though…</p>

<p>and it was expression of need</p>

<p>African-American, I put emotional need or w/e.</p>

<p>hmm, I put cliff b/c it was surrounded by salt water.</p>

<p>cricket-
I got expression of need, tropical ocean, doctor and drug for the contradict one, and the professor one was annoyed (the actual word started with a P)</p>

<p>The passage talked about salt-impregnated water being especially effective in rock erosion. It had to be the cliff.</p>

<p>it was a cliff near an ocean because an ocean contains SALT WATER, which the passage said caused the most “breach.”</p>

<p>You can’t infer volcano b/c the passage said nothing about heat/lava. The answer is always in the passage and the only choice w/ salt water was cliff and tropical ocean. The bottom of a cliff touches the ocean by the way.</p>

<p>rtgrove: perturbed is the word you’re looking for</p>

<p>I dont think it was volcano because it said the volcano was inactive or something, plus where is the water in a volcano? I can see why you would think that but doesnt off the ocean directly correspond to the thoughts put forth in the passage regarding water and salt?</p>

<p>honestly, that was a stupid question</p>

<p>and he wants to know impassioned? or en-something?</p>

<p>and also was the break in the RV thing suppose to be humorous</p>

<p>also was the eyes enigmatic</p>

<p>and the one about a sudden jump to like “and so are rocks” represent that solids can be broken too?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yeah I put perturbed for that one</p>

<p>Hmm the humorous one, I wasn’t sure on. I was between that and question the accuracy of the events he described. I went with the latter = (.</p>

<p>im just gonna jump in and not read all the answers so sorry if i repeat something!</p>

<p>does anybody remember a question on vocab that was something about microscopic cells that were too ___ to be seen?</p>

<p>to 1232cricket:
i’m pretty sure it was volcano.
i think what contradicted it was that the university supported keeping the researcher’s finding unpublished.
i dont’ know. what question you’re talking about with the professor’s reaction…</p>

<p>yes, impassioned, enigmatic.</p>

<p>The question about sudden jump to the “so are rocks” thing, I put indicate something about water (forgot the answer choice)</p>

<p>cricket - i put impassioned but i wasn’t too sure about that one</p>

<p>awkturtle-</p>

<p>It was a wierd word that I thought seemed french. I believe it was micro-----something</p>

<p>The professor’s reaction wasn’t an answer. The answer was the attitude of the students @ which of these most contradict x from passage 2</p>

<p>What about the one where the narrator made a sudden halt and asked whether she was exagerrating or emphasizing something idk i dont remember</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>In this particular paragraph it was mentioning salt wasn’t it? I put near the ocean (cliff right?) since that is where salt water is found. I didn’t relate it to a volcano in any way?</p>
