May SAT 2011: CR Section

<p>Wait - IS the text about civilizations experimental?</p>

<p>tlstoqur7: did that have an answer choice about transitioning? </p>

<p>and i remember the silicon question now. i’m pretty sure it was small and functional too</p>

<p>@yoursky</p>

<p>idk i narrowed down the choices to transitioning and citing authority
which one’s answer?</p>

<p>@smaking
yea i had math experimental and i dont remember any passage about
civilizations</p>

<p>did anyone else have venice? pretty sure that was experimental.
also - did people put empathy or puzzlement regarding the authors deeper insight into characters?</p>

<p>aussietechie - I put empathy. It didn’t really seem to me anything about puzzlement was there.</p>

<p>Re: the crowd of people question in the concert passage that took up about 3 minutes of my time.</p>

<p>I went with undefinable part of the landscape because the question referred to the whole section of like 8-10 lines that included more gentle references like “flow” and “waded into”, not just the part above being swept downstream and washed out. Unrelenting force seemed a bit too strong and somewhat negative for that mawkish passage…lol. I’m hoping “undefinable” refers to how the crowd was described as a river of humanity instead of individual humans.</p>

<p>i put empathy i think ^</p>

<p>was the grandma and her tatoos passage also experimental?</p>

<p>@dreamseason - I was thinking about that too, but then I figured unrelenting (“Not yielding in strength, severity, or determination”) wasn’t necessarily negative and therefore fits in.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember some questions from the dual passages about the cave paintings? Haven’t seen too many yet.</p>

<p>wait so what was the answer to the question about what the author of passage 1 did more than gutherie</p>

<p>for the cave painting i got
empathy, aesthetic beauty, establish credibility,playfully careless uhmm i don’t remember anymore</p>

<p>@thedeparter it was something like focused on aesthetic beauty right?</p>

<p>@caperi sigh… I’m so used to reading phrases like “unrelenting heat” and “unrelenting attacks” that I forgot that it can describe something positive too.</p>

<p>Did anyone remember the question that had profligacy in it? I don’t remember the question nor the other word but I think I eliminated all of the other answers.
If so I don’t think I got any wrong for CR.
-2 is usually the cut off for 800 right?</p>

<p>What did everyone get for the Jazz passage one: something like Jazz is created by _____. Two of the choices were something along the lines of personal creativity, and the other was differences in artists. I put the latter, but I wasn’t too sure.</p>

<p>And how about the question that had general agreement, mild skepticism, and cautious acceptance as answers? I think it was in the caves passage? I put general agreement but I was in a rush so I don’t feel too good about that. This was discussed earlier but I don’t think it came to a conclusion.</p>

<p>@abcdef - I remember putting profligacy…??, though it was a guess among 2-3 I didn’t know definitions of. Another option had austere as the first word.</p>

<p>that passage about the high school aged girl who was no longer in high school is really confusing, clearly she’s not perplexed cuz her eyes are flashing
so most ppl agree its exuberant?</p>

<p>For the Guthrie passage there was one question like “What was the purpose of the first paragraph” and the choices were something like
credibility
motivation–>I picked (it used words like “enthusaist” and “love of labor” or something</p>

<p>what did everyone get on that?</p>

<p>the answer was not profliacy
the question referred to the city spending less on construction to do the taxpayers a favor</p>

<p>profligacy means wasteful
the city wanted to be austere, or simple/plain</p>

<p>@aiming it was credibility because it listed his achievements and how he was awesome</p>
