1

<p>Discuss the SAT critical reading section</p>

2

<p>Had a reading experimental… I had chaplin/dark matter, election system, Chinese family, and something else I don’t remember. Anybody know which was the experimental for me?</p>

3

<p>I had Chaplin, electoral and Chinese so your “something else” is likely experimental because I had math experimental.</p>

4

<p>It was about space</p>

5

<p>Oh, I must have had the space experimental.
Darn I liked that one, too! D:</p>

<p>About dark matter/energy?</p>

6

<p>weren’t space and chaplin in the same section? or maybe I am just imagining things</p>

7

<p>Sentence Completions were pretty tough</p>

8

<p>so was the space one the experimental section?</p>

9

<p>yeah, space and Chaplin were in the same section. I had an experimental math section.</p>

10

<p>chaplin, space, chinese thing and electoral voting were my topics</p>

11

<p>So the one about ecologists and fisheries in mexico was exp??</p>

<p>YESSS that was the one I was least confident about.</p>

12

<p>How can you be sure which reading section was the experimental one?</p>

13

<p>It’ll be the one that not everybody has.</p>

14

<p>The electoral college one killed me >.<</p>

15

<p>How did the author NOT describe the cabinent? It was either imposing or sinister.</p>

16

<p>sinister i think</p>

17

<p>@FutureDoctor12
I had no idea about that one lol. I thought all of them were used to describe the cabinet… I put down regal, but it’s probably wrong. </p>

<p>@novelidea
Doesn’t “dark” imply “sinister”, kind of…?</p>

18

<p>Did anyone get stuff about bees/beekeeping?</p>

19

<p>@FutureDoctor12</p>

<p>I put sinister because it implies evil whereas the cabinet was only described positively by the author.</p>

<p>@zzz</p>

<p>REGAL
1
: of, relating to, or suitable for a king
2
: of notable excellence or magnificence : splendid</p>

<p>Definitely wasn’t that</p>

20

<p>The answer is sinister. It was imposing because of it’s large stature yet regal due to its elegance. There was no indication of sinister (otherwise, do you think she would approach it, and look through its contents while fascinated?)</p>
