June 2010 Critical Reading

<p>Curiosities on display is right.</p>

<p>Dichotomy I put like hard to solve experimentally (overall message of passage?)</p>

<p>i dont remember anything with apalled was it a vocab? passage vocab?</p>

<p>also i remember putting “derivation” for an answer</p>

<p>i dont think apalled was one of SCs…</p>

<p>Appalled wasn’t vocabulary.</p>

<p>appalled was not a vocabulary. people need to stop saying it was…</p>

<p>I got the acolyte question correct only because I knew acolyte is a name of the undead unit in the Warcraft III. The only time playing a game helped me on the SAT.</p>

<p>@LetsBe lmao, whatever works. I didn’t know what proscribe meant… so I just did some mental gymnastics. Scribe is in circumscribe which means to go around and Pro is encouraging something… so encourage to go around. And somehow it fit :p</p>

<p>what was the vocab one on the cr with 8 vocab that was about Roosevelt, i believe it was number 3… none of the words seemed plausible except for “dissuasive” or something like that…</p>

<p>I think the dichotomy one was actually that it was established by a famous experiment or something. Because while it was hard to have a conclusive result, there were like 5 studies named right in the passage. Besides, it was the first paragraph, and they were talking about a famous study right before that. I don’t think it was reconcile contradicting.</p>

<p>I put A.</p>

<p>what did the Austrian girl think she was getting out of the trip? I couldn’t make out whether it was referring to her thoughts before or after</p>

<p>Curiosities on display is right.
Anyone remember the question for this answer choice?</p>

<p>The one about Roosevelt included “charismatic”</p>

<p>Curiosities on display is right.
Anyone remember the question for this answer choice?</p>

<hr>

<p>And does anyone remember any other choices for this one? I don’t remember which one I picked…</p>

<p>The Roosevelt one was hard! But I guessed dissuasive because I rushed, which I now realize was very very dub. Grr. None of the answers seemed to make sense?</p>

<p>on one of the 8 question vocab sections, did you guys get like 4 Bs or even 3?</p>

<p>I picked charismatic for Roosevelt. I think one of the choices was egotistical.</p>

<p>alazee - the answer was something about her relatives, like meeting them.</p>

<p>user2134 - in the passage, the author compared the zoo animals to artifacts. The question asked how they were like artifacts (because they were curiosities on display).</p>

<p>And the key word is famous experiment. Not plural - I thought it was deceiving because multiple were cited and none of them were considered THE most famous or decisive.</p>

<p>I picked uncontroversial for Roosevelt? was it experimental?</p>

<p>Yea I put charismatic even though I didn’t really know what the other word meant…lucky!</p>

<p>dichotomy one–i put reconciled it</p>

<p>what was the wierd sentence completion question that had a pair of vocabulary words and went something like this?:
native american tribes first <strong><em>something art…and showed they</em></strong>their promise</p>

<p>I wrote “blank”, fulfilling</p>

<p>we need some clarification for some if the CR passages:</p>

<p>Passage on girl going on a trip:</p>

<p>what her father wanted/purpose of trip = Learning about her heritage
^this question, was their a similar answer choice like “connecting with relatives” or something like that?</p>

<p>draw a parallel = React similarly to opposing viewpoints
^is this even the correct question? I thought it asked you what the word “apalled” meant in context, and the answer was that they had similar opposing values</p>

<p>freedom=acceptance
^was the answer choice something like “acceptance of emotions” or something???
or was that a different answer choice??</p>

<p>likes Count because he was nice to her or modern day???
^correct</p>
