March SAT CR Thread

<p>I was stuck between unconvinced and humorous for the court room passage, but I went with unconvinced cause humorous seemed too much of a stretch.</p>

<p>The PRIMARY reason he put it was to stress his general point about natural food. While it is an example of a vegetable, that’s not the reason why he put it there.</p>

<p>Did anyone else put captivated on the secrets question?</p>

<p>The broccoli question was used as an example. C’mon now, that’s pretty obvious.</p>

<p>Yeah, it was used an example but like I said the question was asking about the primary reason it was there. The real reason is to stress his general point about fresh food. I remember deciding between the two and the one about the general point made more sense in general…</p>

<p>I will be really agitated if I get that one wrong. So far I have -0 in CR.</p>

<p>BTW, Captivated was definitely not the correct answer. The author was not interested in what the 2-D footprint had to offer, but was captivated by the 3-D footprint (is this the wrong question I’m talking about? Secrets one?)</p>

<p>I had humorous. Wouldn’t it have to be if it was being rejected completely? If it was rejected somewhat, maybe it would be unconvinced…</p>

<p>And I had nature of fresh foods too.</p>

<p>i put captivated</p>

<p>also had nature of fresh foods</p>

<p>The short passage question about what the last sentence implied was either she “felt more comfortable around her parents” or “Used skills in writing learned as a child”.</p>

<p>can anyone confirm the answer to that question?</p>

<p>Used skills in writing learned as a child.</p>

<p>"Unexcited - the authors attitude toward “secrets”</p>

<p>What passage was this in? </p>

<p>Also, what is the question for “captivated”</p>

<p>@harambee - I don’t think it could be felt more comfortable around her parents. The only thing it said about the parents was that they encouraged her writing or something.</p>

<p>anyone remember a meteor question?
it was #8 fill in the blank on some action, forget which one it was
choices were like
agglomerated or something like that…
was this on the experimental?</p>

<p>@Graviton I put captivated if we’re talking about the same one (it was in the beginning, first paragraph I think?, of the dinosaur passage.)</p>

<p>I put the malign vegetables but I’m pretty bad at the short passages for some reason so I wouldn’t be surprised if I was wrong (which apparently I am.)</p>

<p>^Experimental (wongtongtong)</p>

<p>CrzyGmer: You could be right on the maligned vegetables, I put down nature of fresh foods, but there still hasn’t been enough debate to reach a clear consensus.</p>

<p>“captivated” is the same question as “unexcited”; i think “unexcited” was the answer because the author went on to say that “this is old hat” about the things the question asked about.</p>

<p>I put captivated but I might have been confused about whether he was talking about 2d or 3d footprint.</p>

<p>I also put the support a point with the nature of fresh vegetables.</p>

<p>

Your probably right. I think I over analyzed that question. I remember the passage talking about how her parents encouraged her and that quote in the last sentence where she said she “observed and listened in on everything”, but I couldn’t find anything in the passage about her writing, just her oral storytelling abilities, so I put more comfortable around her parents.</p>

<p>Unexcited is the correct answer.</p>

<p>What was the Vocab question about the reviewer’s criticisms/commentary?</p>
