<p>can anyone remember any other vocab?? so far I have 12 correct out of the 13 listed…
and why is the answer playfully careless?? I remember putting it something else…</p>
<p>Well my reasoning for putting the important data (although I’m doubting my answer) was that the scientists were looking for links to this “grand theory” or whatever. And since these paintings were in textbooks, and gurtie said that those were NOT done by teenagers, these would be useful for researching natural history according to gurtie. </p>
<p>My argument against it: I don’t really think calling paintings data is appropriate.</p>
<p>can someone tell me the exact choices for the sparks question???
@flullypinkcloud there was a giant discussion about this in like the first 20 pages of this thread but i think majority put exuberant… dont count on it though.</p>
<p>The “sparks and smoke” reference was part of the keyhole metaphor. You’re trying to widen a keyhole forcibly, which causes sparks and smokes, and you don’t make much progress, but you do make progress. So it isn’t futile.</p>
<p>The sonnet question had “appreciation of limitations” as an answer.</p>
<p>@lordfarquaad but the grand theory thing wasnt even supported by gutrhie… it was the guys who DISAGREED with gutrhie that said it…</p>
<p>I agree with brandnew3773. That’s a reasonable interpretation, and well linked to the content in the passage.</p>
<p>Oh, and “appreciation of limitations” was in reference to the author’s comparison of the study of whales to writing sonnets: each has a strict framework that is appreciated.</p>
<p>delighted not sympathetic and “inner feeling” or something not a demanding activity</p>
<p>saunternety, I can assure you that the answer of “magic” was strictly put in there as a completely literal interpretation of the text which is not what the SAT is trying to test. I’m very positive about 95% of my answers and that question was one of them. And I am a very good critical reader (80 on the PSAT in critical reading and 740 on my first SAT for CR and the questions I got wrong were 2 vocab and 1 actual reading question).
Anyways I see a few errors in the compiled list.</p>
<p>notanengineer, the passage and inclusion of “sparks and smoke” was definitely not referring to widening the keyhole causing sparks and smoke…</p>
<p>@brandnew-- i didnt say magic was correct - which was correct?
and dont hesitate to tell me all the errors you see iin the compiled list - i really have to know before i cancel or not.</p>
<p>Ok how is the ‘sparks and smoke’ one even being debated? It was the first in the section, and was meant to be easy. He said something like “despite all the sparks and smoke there was still…” means effort!</p>
<p>Guess I was wrong about the adv/disadv one =(</p>
<p>the correct answer to the question about sparks and smoke is that previous experimentation was futile…and as far as the compiled list goes…all the answers seem right except some of the ones for the cave painting section but I can’t recall the questions well enough to remember what I put</p>
<p>i believe effort was already part of the compiled answers…
brandnew, do you mind telling me which ones in the cave paintings are wrong??? i really have to know for sure how many im wrong before i cancel.
and can ANYONE PLEASSSSSSSSSSSE tell me how they reasoned the early attempts question and any other cave passages???
i beleive consensus says anything before caves is CORRECT so do we still have o debate that?</p>
<p>pch340…In what way does the imagery of “sparks and smoke” lead to effort? If the author was going for effort he would have chosen imagery that would more clearly convey that because imagery is put into books to make things easier to understand. and the sentence actually read something like “despite alot of sparks and smoke…” sparks and smoke is most definitely talking about starting a fire and it not lighting …which translates to how experimentation is futile</p>
<p>The only two from the previous passages that people seem to be debating are ‘sparks and smoke’ and the first jazz question. Other than those, the rest appear to be fine.</p>
<p>sauternety why are you trying to decide if you want to cancel your scores or not? Why not just keep the scores since you already took the test what benefit is there to not keep them? And if you don’t want colleges to see them just don’t send it out.</p>
<p>@brandnew i HONESTLY dont remember futility as a choice or else i would have picked it on the spot. and because it wasnt, i picked effort instead.
AND PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE UP ME ON THE CAVE THINGS??? REAL NERVOUS HERE.</p>
<p>Sauternety: I can confirm that ‘futility’ (though, in context, it was conjugated as ‘futile’) was an answer choice. I remember picking it.</p>
<p>the first jazz question is right on the compiled list because the article spoke about how with other musical styles you have to do like X and Y training, but with jazz you have to do X and Y training and then spend years developing your own individual musical style. So since jazz requires what other musical styles require AND more it can be inferred that the author definitely thinks jazz is demanding…</p>
<p>the thing is, it looks really bad when you send them just the scores you want them to see… and i already took it twice so if i do worse or similar i have to cancel.</p>
