June 2009 SAT INTERNATIONAL

<p>Bilguun ,where was that ‘‘y on the number line question’’ I remember it ?Was it on the second 20x25 section ? one of the last questions ,probably number 19 ?</p>

<p>What about WRriting ?</p>

<h2>Hey, Guys I have some CR questions to ask and discuss lol~</h2>

<p>Do you guyz remember the short passage with the imperious bus driver?</p>

<h2>What was the Answers for those two questions??</h2>

<h2>Curiosity vs Frustruation</h2>

<h2>Mother’s initial reaction+Mother’s later reaction</h2>

<p>The last Question of Sea Passage (concede a point vs obstacle)</p>

<p>What do you guys put??</p>

<p>about the bus driver was the easiest passage ever.Easy choices.
curiosity vs frustration ? What was this passage ?
Mother initial reaction was normal.I mean,completely expected.Her later reaction was shock
I think the author of the sea passage concedes a point .His point was to explain how can we observe bacteria that lives at the bottom of the ocean .
He didnt talk about any obsracles.Just pointed out that we need a microscope or sth</p>

<p>Wait the cr passage about the dad painting, the mother’s initial reaction was ‘casual acquience’ right?</p>

<p>yeahh tht’s what i put down too :smiley: aquaintence</p>

<p>yep ,everything was completely casual :slight_smile: oceanangel ,her later reaction was shock ,right ?</p>

<p>Yeah, I put casual and then shock.</p>

<p>BTW, for the curiosity vs frustration in the article about the sea I put frustration. He said something about envy and I just got that general vibe…</p>

<p>I think it was curiosity .Sci-Fry ,where are u from :)</p>

<p>not true, “I” was referring to the author if you read it carefully, later on the passage also describes the author’s experiences at the sea-bed.</p>

<p>so it’s not lack of parallelism in real world.</p>

<p>The correct answer was something else but i can’t remember the options.</p>

<p>Frustration should be correct since the author felt that everything has been discovered already –> there was no mention of curiosity, which is a feeling that fuels someone to explore new things. In fact, if there was a choice synonymous to “lack of curiosity” it might actually be correct since the author feels that there are no new things to be curious about.</p>

<p>Hence by elimination, we get frustration since the rest of the choices must be wrong. That answer is the least of the evils.</p>

<p>Darn, was thinking of curiosity, but decided on frustration. Seemed plausible at the time.</p>

<p>CR7, I’m from Italy ;)</p>

<p>CR7_Manutd: Yup the mother’s second reaction was shock.</p>

<p>Sci-Fry: don’t freak just yet, both answers could be right and we don’t know yet lol</p>

<p>"Improving Paragraphs~ (Essay about elevators)

  • Add a sentence in the beginning of a paragraph: [the discovery] had long reaching impacts"</p>

<p>I really don’t remember this essay…haha and I also don’t remember this answer choice…does anyone remmeber some of the other choices for this question?</p>

<p>elevators…? is that the experimental section?
cuz i didn’t get that, i got the one with Shakespeare.</p>

<p>yh98srk: For the passage about imperious driver, I think the first question was to exaggerate or sumthing, the second was something to do with “hostile attitude”. At least thats what i put</p>

<p>It can be curiosity because we can infer that the author was curious to discover new places.</p>

<p>I got the passage on Shakespeare too. Oh so not all international students got 4 math sections? lol</p>

<p>Yeah I put hostile attitude for the bus driver. I can’t remember the one before that…</p>

<p>the driver responded with unexpected dignity(?)
the driver did not care about the customer’s comfort(?)</p>

<p>I thought the answer before thathad something to do with the driver exaggerating how important he was or something</p>

<p>I think that choice you are refering to is driver had a sense of exaggerated self-importance
but did he show any self-importance??</p>
