March 2012 SAT I Critical Reading Thread

<p>^i think there’s nothing wrong with asking what was the question itself.</p>

<p>ohhhh wait… was rigorously analyze qeustion the same thing as “give more evidence to alternatives” thing?</p>

<p>@msteiny I thought the answer for the parentheses question might be give examples, b/c they gave various different places in the universe, which doesn’t define a boundary. Instead, they gave different examples of what some boundaries COULD be.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the exact answer choices?</p>

<p>It’s OK to ask about the question, but I don’t think it’s OK to argue an answer we established ## pages before or ask for answers given previously in the thread. If you want to know answers as quick as possible, read the entire thing instead of repeating a request.</p>

<p>Anyone find the space passage?</p>

<p>Has anyone found the Chaplin passage??</p>

<p>Chaplin’s been found earlier in the thread…
Space passage, tried to search but didn’t find anything. Ditto for electoral college.</p>

<p>does anyone remember the section for critical reading experimental?!</p>

<p>If you had a passage about ecologists and fisheries in Mexico; it was experimental.</p>

<p>@live
Also one experimental about getting lost. It had 23 questions.</p>

<p>Chaplin, Electoral College, Space, Chinese Heritage Passage no fisheries</p>

<p>@Lanayru I was talking about the specific passage, like a link of some sort.</p>

<p>[Moving</a> Image Pinewood Dialogues: CHUCK JONES](<a href=“http://www.movingimagesource.us/files/dialogues/2/11642_programs_transcript_html_271.htm]Moving”>Moving Image Pinewood Dialogues: CHUCK JONES)
Ctrl + F “sunset boulevard” should lead you to the right section. Some extraneous details were removed from the passage by CB for use in the SAT…</p>

<p>I felt that that source was missing a bit. For example, “resurfaced” can’t be found in there.</p>

<p>Lulz I just found it: [washingtonpost.com:</a> Chuck Reducks: Drawing from the Fun Side of Life](<a href=“http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/longterm/books/chap1/chuckreducks.htm]washingtonpost.com:”>http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/longterm/books/chap1/chuckreducks.htm)</p>

<p>someone mentioned that this was an answer: “electoral college represents wide variety of voters”</p>

<p>What question was this?</p>

<p>“chaplin
beginning shows difference between process and outcome
author is skeptical”
can somone explain why is the authro skeptical? She said it was either his father…or the guy …, she was sure that one of them was wrong, and either one would make her sad…so i said it showed sadness?</p>

<p>i totally screwed the elec college thing… i still don’t understand what this thing is…lol.
-8 and 2 omit. will that give me a 700+?</p>

<p>Whether or not the narrator may be sad, it is 100% true that she is skeptical, because he is thinking about this in the first place.</p>

<p>@steven
57 / 67 → 670-700, average is 690.
As for skeptical vs. sadness, the author never indicated being sad. Skeptical was the best answer since he doubted both his father’s claim about 132 times and Chaplin’s alleged actions.</p>

<p>sign!!!i always overthink during test…
although i still dont think its skeptical…but err…watever, everyone else thinks so, i guess its the right answer</p>
