March 2012 SAT I Critical Reading Thread

<p>@drac, the vital/sinister one (I put vital) and one inevitable stupid mistake.</p>

<p>…no chance for imposing? lol</p>

<p>@francesca</p>

<p>haha, I don’t think so…I know, it always sucks to go on the forums and see that no one got the answer you did.</p>

<p>IMO, the chest is NOT sinister to the author. In fact, the tiger CLAWS and tigers are RESPECTED in most Chinese/Korean/Japanese/E. Asian culture.</p>

<p>@Lanaryu LOL thats the dumbest argument ive everheard
all the answers are in the passage, no extraneous info is needed
if u do bring extraneous info, ur probs gonna get it wrong</p>

<p>this time it looks like it did, cuz the right choice was sinister.</p>

<p>The derisive one, does anyone know the full question and answers? Instead of derisive…etc I put choice B because it didn’t seem like anyone was mocking anyone, just antagonizing. That was a very hard one for me to do because I didn’t particularly love B either. But I forget what choice B was.</p>

<p>@tjh lol, I’m just saying. People are assuming tiger claws are sinister. :P</p>

<p>I still don’t understand how the answer could possibly not be sinister. The cabinet had no, in any way, evil or negative connection with the author.</p>

<p>I don’t know if this was already covered but is the space expanding one experimental? or Charlie Chaplin the experimental? </p>

<p>Oh and I put sinister and indication. </p>

<p>I actually think I might cancel, the critcal reading was easier than the october one, but I think I misinterperated the politics one.</p>

<p>@thjsstkid. Act arrogant with the answer come out. I’m not even sure what’s your point when Lan also chose Sinister.</p>

<p>whoa we got a tj student here o.O</p>

<p>I think space expanding and dan quixote or something was experimental.</p>

<p>Actually we have 2 TJ students…me.</p>

<p>wait space was experimental? i had the space one and a helen keller one. i thought the helen kellar was experimental… oh nooo i bombed that section</p>

<p>you guys remember the “resurfaced” question on the Charlie Chaplin passage?
Right now im at -1 for sure b/c of “emphasize the preceding argument”, i put introductory voice instead.</p>

<p>But this “resurfaced” question. I probably was overthinking it, since NO ONE has even talked about it.</p>

<p>a)smooth over
b)covered anew
e)mentioned later</p>

<p>132 was stuck in my head, and it resurfaced later.</p>

<p>i was looking at “and” and to be either (a) or (b), i thought it sort of had to be a contrast and needed a “but”, or else the flow of the sentence seems really awkard.</p>

<p>so which one do you guys think is the answer?</p>

<p>@nikhil it’s ok, helen was experimental!</p>

<p>@KChang I’m pretty sure the experimental was about getting lost (an adventure away from mom, a privilege!)</p>

<p>Helen Keller was experimental, space was not. I had space anxious had a math experimental.</p>

<p>Space was definitely not experimental. Helen Kellar is.</p>

<p>For resurfaced, I put “came to mind”</p>
