March 10th SAT Discussion

<p>is it "passing notice?" because passage 1 basically says "ok this guy had a WAYY detailed analysis of the whole bit... and it's mostly idealistic... and he "nods" (recognises) ben's contradictions ... but it's not like he's having reservations towards it...</p>

<p>I think it was just like subtle acknowledgement so I picked "passing notice"</p>

<p>Everyone seems to be saying the mom question was flattery.</p>

<p>I remember it as what does this reveal about the mom or something like that and it said "she will be ... just more Chinese..." so I chose the one about her valuing Asianess or whatever. Earlier on the author refered to how her mother wanted a "Chinese Princess", etc.</p>

<p>here are some more i just remembered:

<p>Guys, I have this question on the writing section...It was something like although the play's longevity is immediately boring, the intriguing plot still makes it exciting.</p>

<p>it's either (A) which uses but to connect the two ideas
or (B) which uses although.</p>

<p>I left it A because i thought B was too wordy? I am not positive though if thats correct.</p>

<p>daneshk, i think it was E. I still dont really understand y but i had recently seen the exact quesiton on a practice test and remembered the answer.</p>

<p>The question was something like:</p>

<p>the play is at once exhaustive and something -------------------</p>

<p>so i said and its intriguing plot makes it it exciting or something.</p>

<p>i dont really get y this is the answer, i woudl think that u need a but/however etc but i ditincly rememer the question.</p>

<p>Can anyone elaborate?</p>

<p>btw, it was quesiotn 11 (the last sentence revision question)</p>

<p>Sentence Completion:
the new comer didnt want to seem _____ so he didnt____ criticisms about the President's plan
something like that
what was the answer?
some of the choices
inquisitive... voice
presumptuous.... venture
.....</p>

<p>presumptuous...venture</p>

<p>I think it's because..</p>

<p>It's at once ____ and <em>, not at once _</em> or ___</p>

<p>it should be the play is at once exhaustive AND _______
i remember having a practice question just like that one too
it was AND</p>

<p>i don't remember the exact answer choice but it was
"and intriguing because of its clever plot"</p>

<p>the sentence began "...the play is at once exhaustive blahblah because of its longevity blah blah and intriguing because of its clever plot"</p>

<p>i think the main issue was the parallel structure that they were testing...i'm pretty sure about this, although i may be wrong...</p>

<p>The play was at once exhaustive because of its longevity and complexity and intruiging because of its clever plot. Or something like that.</p>

<p>no the answer was inquistive ...voicing</p>

<p>no, it was presumptuous, which means stepping over the line and taking liberties. the member was new and didn't want to criticize the head scientist and seem as if he/she was better than the principal scientist.</p>

<p>presumptuous - venturing</p>

<p>i thought it was inquisitive - voicing at first too but that's wrong</p>
