March SAT CR Thread

<p>Nope. It was to provide a general point. We’ve already debated this.</p>

<p>why would the answer for the Africa passage be delineate
inscribed means marked</p>

<p>^ I chose inscribed as well.</p>

<p>I went with inscribed as well. Still makes more sense to me than delineate.</p>

<p>delineate means to portray. the tree stumps and boulder “portrayed” the boundaries.
i was going to put inscribed, but that’s a false definition which literally means “marked” (like marked on paper)</p>

<p>Yeah it’s delineate… even though I put inscribed ):
How much would 5-6 wrong be?</p>

<p>^ 5-6 is around 720-740</p>

<p>also, for the “Imagine!” question in the African passage…does anyone remember the other choices o_o I could’ve sworn it was to convey the wonder the sailors felt–unless that is the same answer as posted</p>

<p>@clouder
Thanks, and also that’s basically the same answer posted, but worded differently. So you’re right.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the one question on storytelling?
The rise and falls? Was it used by the storyteller to dramatize?</p>

<p>The answer to that was the one with cadences.</p>

<p>It is cadences, it’s on the list.</p>

<p>Adapting Films Passage:
First author was conflicted, second was assertive
Author 1 would disagree because people want to see accurate adaptations
Passage 1 defends a qualified position, Passage 2 rejects it
films shouldn’t simply be judged based on fidelity (agreement)</p>

<p>how do you guys know which section was experimental?
do you think the one with the courtroom and the tv was experimental cuz i had to omit the ones that asked about both author 1 and author 2 together. that is my greatest weakness</p>

<p>^ We figure out which ones are experimental based off of the test takers who had an extra math or writing section.</p>

<p>The courtroom/TV passage was not experimental because I had that passage and I had a math experimental.</p>

<p>Courtroom was not experimental. We know which are experimental because people have named sections that others haven’t gotten on their test.</p>

<p>I hate CR and it hates me sigh…</p>

<p>for the “films shouldn’t simply be judged based on fidelity (agreement)” one…what were the other choices if u remember? and do u remember other choices for “giving recommendations” one?</p>

<p>wait, why is it delineate and not inscribe, and dictionary.com says inscribe means delineate…</p>

<p>in·scribe   /ɪnˈskraɪb/ Show Spelled[in-skrahyb] Show IPA
–verb (used with object),-scribed, -scrib·ing.
1.to address or dedicate (a book, photograph, etc.) informally to a person, esp. by writing a brief personal note in or on it.
2.to mark (a surface) with words, characters, etc., esp. in a durable or conspicuous way.
3.to write, print, mark, or engrave (words, characters, etc.).
4.to enroll, as on an official list.
5.Geometry. to draw or delineate (one figure) within another figure so that the inner lies entirely within the boundary of the outer, touching it at as many points as possible: to inscribe a circle in a square.</p>

<p>in order for this to be correct, the term would have to be something like “circumscribe”.
both inscribe and circumscribe are similar, but have a crucial difference (look it up, or think in terms of math… inscribed triangles, circumscribe a circle, etc)
thus, delineate is the way to for for this question.</p>

<p>I think CB goes by the first definition.</p>

<p>Also one of the sentence completions, was neophyte one of the answers? I just read that word somewhere and I think I saw it on the SAT.</p>
