May SAT 2011: CR Section

<p>castigate and misconduct was what i chose im pretty confident that its right</p>

<p>pratttennis_1 I put something about science seeming magical,but I think I got that wrong.</p>

<p>That’s what I got pratt.</p>

<p>Was learning about the waves and currents</p>

<p>-Like an investigator solving a mystery (I chose that one lol)
-Or explorers charting a mountain?</p>

<p>Darnittt. Can anyone tell me why it was mawkish though?..</p>

<p>What did you guys put for the cave paintings one? It was the last question, I think, and it asked what did passage 1 say that passage 2 didn’t. Some options were “aesthetic value”, “ongoing influence” and some others.</p>

<p>oh yeah, does anyone remember the one about the cherry blossom being mad and what it indicated? I put wild, but it very well could’ve been answer choice E</p>

<br>

<br>

<p>The sentence that was asked was “[name]'s play was criticized for being too sentimental, almost bordering on __________” I believe, so the answer would have to be mawkish, which means overly sentimental or “sentimental in a feeble or sickly way”.</p>

<p>I put that the cherry blossoms were wild. Damn that passage :T</p>

<p>What was “E” for the cherry blossom question? I put wild because the sentence that followed talked about the “blossoms” flowing down the stream spreading their pollen everywhere.</p>

<p>Prattennis- I put delighted. </p>

<p>Passage 2 said that “most historians” (or whatever) THOUGHT the artists of the cave paintings were “michaelangelos” and passage 1 described how the ancient people carefully drew the lines and Colors etc.</p>

<p>i feel like the cherry blossoms question couldn’t have been anything but “wild” but then again i was in a bit of a hurry on that passage</p>

<p>does anyone remember the other choices where the answer choice was “castigate/misconduct”? i know what both of those words mean so i highly doubt i would have picked something else but for some reason i’m very unsure of myself now</p>

<p>there were actually a couple of questions relating to passage 1 on this: on lines 14-15 of passage 1, there this excerpt on other artists from previous times recreating highly symbolic works like wild buffalo and stuff. there was a question on what passage 2 would say about that and its relation to actual cave paintings…any takers?</p>

<p>For one of them I put that The author of passage 2 would have been Skeptical of the author of passage 1.</p>

<p>If I recall correctly it said “mildly skeptical” so I didn’t choose it. Instead, I chose something along the lines of complete disagreement.</p>

<p>i put mildly skeptical aswell</p>

<p>prettennis: i put in something about “overarching themes about art” because it resembled “artistic worldview” or something that was mentioned in the text</p>

<p>hipsterguru: do you remember what the other choices were?</p>

<p>I put ‘general agreement’ for the one with the skeptical choice. I also put that the cave paintings were evocative.</p>

<p>For the jazz section, was it that jazz took a lot to master and was different for each musician, or was it personal and creative? >_<</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>The choices had “general agreement,” “mildly skeptical,” “cautious acceptance”. I put cautious acceptance.</p>

<p>does anyone remember on the cave painting one about where it was like “which did the author of passage one focus on more compared to the grunthie in passage 2?”
i narrowed it down to “aesthetic power” and “content of diversity”</p>

<p>I putmildly skeptical because the reasoning was pretty sound it was like “Mildly skeptical because the author of passage 1 seems to be overestimating the talent of cave artists” and passage 2 was all about how the cave drawings were just from careless teenagers and not real art.</p>
