March 2012 SAT I Critical Reading Thread

<p>@kan</p>

<p>The one who compiled the electorate answers was me and most agree with them. To answer your question, the question stated “what did reformers in passage 1 think about the electorate system?” In passage one it said they believed that it created battleground states and candidates only focused on those since they have more electorates. The very next sentence said that because of that, a majority of the poeople are left unrepresented. You had to read a line ahead to get the answer.</p>

<p>Is reserved for the attitude of passage 1 in neatness passage the same question as author of 1 says there is actually loss of time?</p>

<p>@tls Yeah.</p>

<p>What was the “beguiled…havoc” sentence?</p>

<p>What were the “characterization…derisive” and the “process…outcome” questions? And what were the other choices? Please and Thanks.</p>

<p>@jimmy</p>

<p>beguiled and havoc was the one with the demagogues and political people.</p>

<p>Pretty sure it wasn’t “process, outcome” and was “artistic vision, reality”. The question asked what contrast was established in the 1st/2nd paragraph. It was the Chaplin paragraph. His “artistic vision” of portraying his character as relaxed, natural, etc. contrasted with the “reality” that he had to redo scenes over and over again to get it perfect.</p>

<p>Found the paragraph online!</p>

<p>@Lanayru</p>

<p>Sweet! That’s what i put. I thought it was a different question</p>

<p>Does anyone know the characterization…derisive question?</p>

<p>@coolazn it was the one with the guy syaing the animals were charaterized in a derisive manner using words like greedily or s/t like that</p>

<p>“And, as far as I knew, any other boy in the self-same world could, by walking two blocks to Charlie Chaplin’s studio at La Brea Avenue and looking through an open-link fence, watch Chaplin at work, which, I am sorry to say, I often found deadly dull. I loved his films; so easy, so natural, so appealing to my sense of rebelliousness and anarchy, they were a complete contrast to the endless repetition of the filming itself, which I found almost unbearably tiresome.”</p>

<p>Process… outcome OR artistic vision… reality ?</p>

<p>@pinkrose</p>

<p>Sweet, thanks. I put that too.</p>

<p>Hmm, I still think it’s process…outcome.</p>

<p>@Lanayru</p>

<p>I believe that process and outcome are pretty evident in the passage you just pasted. </p>

<p>“I often found deadly dull. I loved his films; so easy, so natural, so appealing to my sense of rebelliousness and anarchy, they were a complete contrast to the endless repetition of the filming itself, which I found almost unbearably tiresome.”</p>

<p>The first part is the outcome whereas the second part is the process. He describes the process WELL in detail while he also explains an appealing outcome.</p>

<p>I do not see where artistic vision is evident in the process of the film-making.</p>

<p>@Lan</p>

<p>Now that you found the passage it makes much easier. Now on to the tough question. I put process vs outcome but I remember debating between the two on the test. He was looking into the studios whicih basically means he was looking at the process of making the film. He found that really dull and tiresome. But on the screen, the outcome, he found them to be amazing. The only problem im seeing with the second one is artistic vison. Was there really an artistic vision?</p>

<p>Honestly, its leaing toward process…outcome. The reality part was right but the artistic vision part threw it off.</p>

<p>oh! I see it now. Thanks</p>

<p>After reading the passage again I am 100% sure it is process vs outcome. He was dreadfully bored of the process of filming, but loved how the films turned out. “they were a complete contrast to the endless repetition of the filming itself” </p>

<p>The process (filming) vs the outcome (the actual film)</p>

<p>@eagles94
I remember one of the choices for a question on this passage was: there would be many voters left uninformed (or something along the lines of that)… was this a choice for the same question? since the two of them sound very similar…</p>

<p>I think that choice might’ve been for another question where it asked about what someone thought about passage 2…</p>

<p>Also, for the Charlie Chaplin turning point, is this the answer? But the number 132 stuck in my stubborn cerebellum like a cocklebur under a saddle, and it resurfaced when I heard a brilliant old art teacher named Francois Murphy at Chouinard Art Institute repeat to a shocked beginner class.</p>

<p>The jovial one was about a captain of a ship crew. Does anyone remember the question with the answer penchant for…enmity? Was it the one with the bird eating the eggs? Also what were the other choices</p>

<p>HEY GUYS… does anyone remember other answer choices for "unrealistic expectations " and “shift in popular culture " and the girls passage " amplified the preceding statement " and " moving away as one unit” from the space passage</p>

<p>enmity is such a strong word i honestly feel repugnancy and disdain worked better and were more moderate choices</p>
