March SAT CR Thread

<p>What were the other possible answers for the artistic weakness question? I know I didn’t choose artistic weakness.</p>

<p>Oh, everyone is forgetting the one about fidelity and the reproduction of films and books.</p>

<p>Can anyone recall the question about “unexcited about secrets”?</p>

<p>^^ We are missing that passage
For the film adaptation. Does anyone remember if the tone of the first passage was conflicted and second one assertive or something like that</p>

<p>Adapting Films Passage:
First author was conflicted, second was assertive</p>

<p>We’re debating artistic weakness versus eclectic association.</p>

<p>More answers should be that films should not be judged by how faithful they are to the original, or something like that.</p>

<p>I believe that the first passage was presenting a problem, and the second one was offering a course of action.</p>

<p>The court room passage, the second author was offering a recommendation.</p>

<p>what about conversant for the sentence completion about French?</p>

<p>(if you tell me it was conservant, i will be very annoyed!!)</p>

<p>Also, what about beguile and exalt?</p>

<p>these may have been experimental, i don’t remember which were from which section.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Uh general point was definitely wrong. Anyone back me up on this?</p>

<p>^ It was :(</p>

<p>I put platform for stage :(</p>

<p>also dont remember the unexcited question</p>

<p>Dinosaur’s lower their feet first</p>

<p>was that the answer to the question which also had an answer chose of dinosaurs lower their heels first (or something with heels.)?</p>

<p>confirmed, conversant.</p>

<p>confirmed, conflicted and assertive</p>

<p>Unexcited was when the author said “This is all old hat”. He was describing how traditional, 2D footprints offer nothing groundbreaking</p>

<p>Broccoli one was definitely an example. I got conflicted…assertive. For the one that someone said they put down humorous, I had uncertain, but I’m not 100%. And conversant was the right answer.</p>

<p>conversant was luckily experimental but i believe it was correct and i’m pretty sure about artistic weakness.</p>

<p>Confirmed: conflicted and assertive</p>

<p>how about the question with “qualified” in the answer for the reproduction of books passage?</p>

<p>@Billabongboy, look up the definition of eclectic…</p>

<p>Adapting Films Passage:
First author was conflicted, second was assertive</p>

<p>I remember one we don’t yet have from dinosaur passage.</p>

<p>author mentions trace fossil explanation to - prevent misunderstanding.</p>

<p>fidelity one - author of passage 1 would most likely respond to line 8==D in passage 2 by - disagree, because want films to be like books. something along those lines</p>

<p>“This is all old hat”. lol dont remember that at all</p>

<p>Was the section about Pluto and dwarf planets experimental?</p>

<p>i put platform also…it was something like western countries…advanced stage…and then something about the judicial system</p>

<p>i put platform because i thought it was referring to the western system. stage didn’t seem to make sense, but i may be totally wrong.</p>

<p>@delontewest i agree with your answers</p>

<p>it was definitely phase for stage</p>
