March SAT CR Thread

<p>and the other one that i didnt get was marked = delineate i understand that normally something that is a border would delineate or draw a line around but it wasnt talking about a fence it was talking about a knocked over tree or an unoccupied anthill these things wouldnt exactly delineate a border, i put noticed because the borders arent really strict borders the way we think of them instead they are just landmarks that give a vague understaning of where one’s property ends and another begins.</p>

<p>Yeah, but delineate was the only one that really fit the situation. I don’t think any of the other options made any sense.</p>

<p>anyone have a curve prediction?</p>

<p>"Passage 1 defends a qualified position, Passage 2 rejects it "</p>

<p>I thought it was
Passage 1 is conflicted
Passage 2 is assertive</p>

<p>I predict an average CR curve: -0 = 800, -1 = 800, -2 = 800, -3 = 790, -4 = 770, etc.</p>

<p>^Both are answers to different questions.</p>

<p>dammit im gonna really annoyed if i get 3 wrong and not just 2 that would drop me off so much</p>

<p>For the painter passage, does anyone remember the other choices, or the question for
‘Unpretentious manner is the style of the painter’?
I think I answered that but I dont remember the other choices.
It would be helpful if you could mention why you answered ‘Unpretentious manner’.
Thanks!</p>

<p>@mabs</p>

<p>those are two different questions.</p>

<p>what were the answer choices for the “unpretentious” question.</p>

<p>“Author 1 would disagree because people want to see accurate adaptations”</p>

<p>i think i might have put the answer that said something about author 1 disagreeing because people have “different opinions” about fidelity.</p>

<p>Passage 1 defends a qualified position, Passage 2 rejects it</p>

<p>what were the other answer choices?</p>

<p>“Both authors agree media coverage of courts could be educational”
“Main Idea- to dispel a common misconception”</p>

<p>i’m not sure if i put these answers down…can anyone remember any of the other choices for any of these?</p>

<p>“televising court cases is instructive”
“people want to see accurate adaptations of the films they love”</p>

<p>are those the answers</p>

<p>“Legends fill in for blank areas in map”</p>

<p>Crap was maps being appreciated for their aesthetic qualities a wrong answer? And does anybody know what I’m talking about for the Dinosaur passage? People are saying captivated is wrong and I understand that bored or uninterested (whatever) was an answer but I feel like there was an answer regarding the beginning (first paragraph) where captivated (or some similar word) was an answer. Anyone know what I mean or no?</p>

<p>for the “dinosaurs lower their feet first” </p>

<p>wasnt it “dinasours lower their heels first” - i dont remember “feet first” being an answer choice and feet first doesnt make sense</p>

<p>@ CrzyGmer, I believe you are correct. IT was for the aesthetic qualities. I think these are the same answers however and the “Lengends fill in for blank areas in map” is misremembered.</p>

<p>@ anthony, def heels</p>

<p>yes it was “heels first”.
do we have the answers to the film adaptation thing?</p>
