<p>That would be a no error. While the sentence itself sounded a bit awkward, there was nothing grammatically or logically incorrect.</p>
<p>Can someone tell me the answer choices for the capricious/placid question?</p>
<p>haha you think you are better than everyone. The best as you call it. Fyi, i got an 800 from the october test too. Now i feel they’re just giving it away. PM whoever you want, if they are anywhere close to intelligent, they will tell you I, II and III are correct.</p>
<p>EDIT: read the consensus of the June 2012 here <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/1348139-official-june-2012-sat-math-us-32.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/1348139-official-june-2012-sat-math-us-32.html</a></p>
<p>Well, we will know the result just several days later.
I still insist that if you can tell it is 0.75, I can make it 0.76. No evidence, no assertion.</p>
<p>For CR,
yes, I remember novelty, it is in the reading passage but not SC.
For trifling, no, But I remember one question that I cannot find answer in the thread. It is in the SC part, about magnanimous, does anybody remember?</p>
<p>THX</p>
<p>Sentence completion: (DO NOT SURE)
(1) The Author of 19th Century San Francisco showed the primacy of biographies in her narrative depicting her life and then
there was a semicolon; she incorporated many accounts of different people along the lines of that.
(2) Latitude lines are spaced about 70 miles apart, so they are adequate for general regions, but not to pinpoint locations.
(3) shortcomings

<p>how do you remember all this stuff man ??</p>
<p>@kohsuan: What question was the trifling one because I don’t remember getting that choice?</p>
<p>Is this the international version?</p>
<p>Hi, bear in mind that I indicated I and II as true.</p>
<p>Objectively speaking, there are 3 possible cases:</p>
<p>Case 1: NC isn’t necessarily 0.75.
-> III is correct.</p>
<p>Case 2:
To make up for the deficit of 4.15, there must be at least 6 other states. Letting C be the set of possible number of states, we have C = {6,7,8,…}.</p>
<p>For III to be true, every element from C must be greater than or equal to 5. We see that this is indeed the case. Do note that in this case, III is more of an observation.
-> III is true.</p>
<p>Case 3:
We take statement III to mean that set C (as mentioned earlier) = {5,6,7,…}, in which case III would obviously incorrect. In this case, however, III is more of a condition.
→ III is wrong.</p>
<p>Personally, I feel that the interpretation in Case 2 is more logical. It would be great for anyone who took the US SATs in June 2012 to shed some light on this issue. All cases are indeed valid, depending on whether we take III as an “observation” or a condition, and to be honest I feel that it is the College Board’s fault since they provided such an ambiguous question not just once, but twice.</p>
<p>P.S. Does anyone know the role of photography in the Sphinx passage? Also, I do not recall trifling as a question option for that matter.</p>
<p>Uh the options, if I remember correctly are:
The effect of photographs is:
- Record a historical turning point.
- Affect the novelty of an experience.
- Capture fleeting moments?</p>
<p>Not sure though…</p>
<p>^ undermine written record</p>
<p>what did you put for the pool question first was 1200 per hour and second was 2400 per hour so 1200 but on the June test thread they say 1600.</p>
<p>the cotton exercise was not clear. it is college board’s fault. When it says at least 5, I interpret the statement as 5 or more, but in this case the statement was true only with numbers greater than 5, not with 5 itself. And from what I interpreted from the graph, the cotton of NC was 0.80 or less(sincerely, it seemed 0.75) and 5x0.8= 4.00 that it not enough.</p>
<p>What is the answer for the last identifying sentence error question (number 29) and explain? it was about “[some strange name] …different in quality…and, of the two, is preferred by…”</p>
<p>Let’s compile the CR answers!</p>
<p>->Telescope Passage
- Comparing astronomers to musicians: share similar experiences as novices.
- Simile between sky and lens: there is a perfect spot for viewing.
- Reflective and informative.
- Shares a special account.
- Ephemeral but powerful.
- In the passage involving telescopes, the author describes the following situation: “Once I received my new high-powered telescope, I could see the golden nebulas, Ursula major, hot and cold gases in distant galaxies, etc. These sights ballooned my system of what is plausible.” The author felt about seeing the universe through his new telescope is that he is hard to believe. (NOT difficult to take in)
- Recent information
- See planets clear
- Assertion followed by comical anecdote.</p>
<p>Any questions? Or anything to complement?</p>
<p>@Pumpkin96 Personally speaking, I cannot remember the “trifling” question either! My fellow takers told me that “trifling” is an answer, so I just put it here…</p>
<p>It’s atypical of the authors disconcerted ordeal and close attention</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Hi, why isn’t 4. Discuss a special development/part of his life or something along those lines? And what’s the question for 7?</p>
<p>Hi everyone, with regard to the cotton question I d say it’s all three statement. When I was doing the question, I was quite unsure, so I calculated the number of answerE in my answer sheet and it turns out that there’s only ONE E in the previous questions and because B, the one with 1&2statement, has appeared for 3or 4 times, I chose E. Because collegeboard is trying to eliminate the possibility of guessing right too man questions, it strives to balance the number of correct answers among all the five letter, if that assumption is correct, E is very likely to be the one!</p>
