May SAT 2011: CR Section

<p>first time taking it, sorry…how do the experimental parts work exactly? do you only get one experimental passage or is there like a whole section?</p>

<p>something about a book talking about love and hate without critiquing them. rest all options offer an opinion</p>

<p>I’m glad I can enjoy this discussion without partaking in it "]</p>

<p>Magic seemed like a trap answer.
I also put down something about efforts.</p>

<p>did anyone have the hedonism gandhi question? or was that experimental? cause i think that was on the animal play one…</p>

<p>■■■■ - The frustration/sympathy question was referring not to either of the authors, but to the scholars/historians who were mentioned briefly by passage 2. As for the bursts and sparks, think of when you attempt to light a fire: you make a spark hoping for it catch fire, but in this case, as the passage said, the sparks came to nothing.</p>

<p>@abcdef14, I am DELIGHTED to hear that… imo</p>

<p>Get rid of ‘delighted’ that one made no sense…</p>

<p>i didn’t have anything about gandhi but i did have animal play.</p>

<p>@abcdef14, i’m positive it wasn’t frustrated. i put sympathetic, the only other answer that i thought was remotely possible was delighted.</p>

<p>@AZN
It wasn’t asking for the authors, it was asking for the scholars. But I agree with you that it was sympathetic. If I recall correctly there was something in the answer choice for frustration that made it not the correct answer.</p>

<p>Cave Paintings Passage

  • Credibility
  • Aesthetic power
  • Beauty is eternal: reverent
  • Playfully careless?
  • Frustrated vs. Sympathetic (vs. delighted)
  • General agreement? (vs. mild skepticism vs. cautious acceptance)
  • Something about gifted artists of the paleolithic period
  • Something like a ‘repeated artistic technique’</p>

<p>@Dizzying - Why are you positive it wasn’t frustrated? I thought the scholars were positive that they had the “Grand Theory” down in that they knew it was there for some sort of historical record.</p>

<p>The full answer was something like “Frustrated because they had already figured out the theory”</p>

<p>Cave Paintings Passage

  • evocative and moving/soothing??
  • offer a proposal
  • people view the paintings like the art of today
  • (Something that talked about the paintings being accessible)??</p>

<p>im sure its sympathetic, because the rest of the answer choice was that they thought it unlocked the key to paleolithic history or something like that
it was frustrated because it never actually conceded that the scholars figured it out, but rather that they weren’t sure yet, they HOPED the grand theory (or whatever the equivalent of it was in passage 2) would unlock the mysteries</p>

<p>Yeah I’m pretty sure frustrated was wrong then. The sympathetic one was something along the lines of “sympathetic because they faced similar problems in their research on the cave paintings”.</p>

<p>Feel free to answer my last post at anytime…</p>

<p>BTW What was the jazz question that had distnictive and personal creativity as answers??</p>

<p>wait what was
“form” = type
question? does anyone remember other answer choices?</p>

<p>and for crave

  • offer a proposal <<<<<
    what was the question for this?
    also anyone remember other choices?</p>

<p>Caperi: I think that’s overanalyzing it. Even if it were the case that the natural scientists felt absolutely positive that they had solved all the mysteries of the cave paintings and that they was nothing more to discover (which seems doubtful - most scientists aren’t that arrogant, and College Board would probably never portray them that way), why would they be frustrated by other people who still insist on searching? It just doesn’t seem like a natural human reaction.</p>

<p>@tlstoqur–it was “form” means most likely what in the context of the passage??
It was type.</p>
