May SAT 2011: CR Section

<p>@dizzying: I put that one too!</p>

<p>dude I don’t think it’s that… I put austere and curtail which makes most sense…</p>

<p>wooyo12: that’s experimental</p>

<p>@gsfan01</p>

<p>i thought it was sympathetic for the scholars one</p>

<p>I’m fairly certain it was exuberant? What was the jazz question that’s been semi-controversial? I can’t remember what I put for it nor what it was and now I’m worrying I won’t get an 800. Can anyone tell me how likely it is the curve will be worse than -2 = 800?</p>

<p>Sorrow - Yes, you’re right, we agreed on it a page ago.</p>

<p>abcdef - I would think very unlikely. Hoping that I didn’t get much more than the 3-4 wrong so far so I get over 720…</p>

<p>@gsfan, scholars were sympathetic (i was between that and delighted but i think sympathetic fit better, it definitely wasn’t frustrated).</p>

<p>girl in high school i’m 95% sure was not perplexed. i had aggressive at first but when i looked at it again, exuberant celebration fit much better. the only way it could have been anything else is if that was a completely off-topic aside, since the whole passage from that paragraph on was about celebration.</p>

<ul>
<li><p>The reason the jazz question is controversial is because no one remembers it lol</p>

<ul>
<li>I put exuberant because the passage said “spinning and flashing” - both words have a positive connotation</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>

<p>-@jb why is it sympathetic?</p>

<p>hey guys
is there any question which has the answer
“general agreement”?</p>

<p>and does anyone remember the other mini passage
for ocean current?</p>

<p>@gsfan01
i’m not even sure if we’re talking about the same question here
is this the one about what the scholars in passage 2 thought about the grand theory in sentence 1?</p>

<p>i put mild skepticism (this is for the painting one right?)</p>

<p>okay so there are two of these questions…
one was about the scholars and the grand theory
-frustrated </p>

<p>and another was comparing two passages
-i put mild skepticism</p>

<p>for the ocean passage, i remember i put “the transition” for one question</p>

<p>@tlstoqur7
i can’t remember all of it but for the one that had general agreement i think i put mild skepticism
was that the one where something was in between quotation marks?
if so, i believe the author is showing that the quoted word doesnt fit there or has doubt of its usage</p>

<p>tlstoqur - I put general agreement. Other options were mildly skeptical and cautious acceptance (I think it was in the cave art passage).</p>

<p>Dizzying - I put frustrated because I thought the scholars knew that the purpose of the cave art was to provide some sort of historical record that they were analyzing and studying? I’m probably wrong, but do you remember why frustrated wouldn’t make sense?</p>

<p>And the 1st Jazz question had go to conservatory before/after(?) learning your instrument (not quite, but something close to that) as an option. I put something else though.</p>

<p>Do you guys remember what the question is for the one with mild skepticism? I remember I narrowed it down to mild skepticism, cautious acceptance, and general agreement and I ended up choosing general agreement.</p>

<p>Edit: I think it said how the author of passage 1 would reply to the last lines in Passage 2. The last lines in Passage 2 said that the identity of the author didn’t matter as much as the emotional impact of the art.</p>

<p>so the scholars and the grand theory was frustration for sure?</p>

<p>@tlstoqur, i had general agreement. for one of the ocean ones i know i had “transition” somewhere.</p>

<p>sympathetic because the first sentence was about how we still can’t understand the grand meaning behind the cave paintings. it was later mentioned that most historians view the paintings as the key to unlocking the what the paintings symbolize, but it never said that they had actually figured it out. delighted seemed too positive since it’s still not solved, but they definitely agreed with the first point.</p>

<p>Not to beat a dead horse, but…</p>

<p>The “mild skepticism” question. Why is the consensus toward “cautious acceptance,” or, even more radically, “general agreement”?</p>

<p>The opinion espoused in the second passage starkly contrasted with that of the first one; Guthrie, or whatever, basically asserted that Passage 1’s claim was false. I could see the plausibility of “cautious acceptance” (accepting the expert’s opinion) but the expert is, nevertheless, a maverick among “many scholars”; would not the author of Passage 1 agree with the “many scholars” who share his opinion and approach Guthrie’s claim with “mild skepticism”?</p>

<p>@Shathdra
i believe it was the question that asked why the author quoted a word
answer is mild skepticism…(crosses finger)</p>
