May SAT 2011: CR Section

<p>@sweetpuri Even though that’s been done with you just have to take the passage literally…</p>

<p>for the general agreement - the author of p2 in the end conceded that at the end of the day the power/beauty the paintings have on the viewer is more important than WHO did it, and that was the whole point with p1 => definitely general agreement.</p>

<p>as for the jazz demanding question, i think someone had the question mixed up - it was CONSERVATORY TRAINING PRECEDING PERSONAL TRAINING which is wrong for sure.</p>

<p><em>face palm</em></p>

<p>@saut
diversity of content could still very well be a contender
the question was “compared to the author of passage 2, the author of passage 1 focused more on”
so if its comparative, its definitely diversity of content, because passage 2 had NOTHING about it while the whole last paragraph of passage 1 was about the continual repetition of the same drawings
if it asked just about the focus on 1 i would’ve definitely put aesthetic power</p>

<p>and also, i dont believe that jazz question had conservatory preceding personal but rather vice versa, on what foundation are you basing it upon?</p>

<p>wasn’t there a sentence completion where one of the choices was loquacious?</p>

<p>it was conservatory precedes personal, i distinctly remember that answer choice because i looked back in the passage.</p>

<p>what was the question that had diversity of content as an answer choice?</p>

<p>@OMF i still dont see how continual repetitive drawings make diversity of content???
and thank you for up-ing me on the conservatory preceding personal thing. i was quite sure personally…</p>

<p>@synclair: i dont remember this - you sure its not experimental? and what exactly was the question???</p>

<p>hmmm…It might’ve been an experimental…I’m not sure which passage was the experimental passage.</p>

<p>@saut
continual repetition would be a LACK of diversity, and “diversity of content” is still talking about diversity in general, including a lack or fullness thereof
hmmm… i was quite sure it was personal over conservatory… ***…</p>

<p>@ sauternety if u look up “relentless” in the dictionary, you’ll find that it actually means “cruel”, which is similiar, but fundamentally different from " unrelenting". It is quite odd that everyone remember it as “unrelenting”, but i think the actual option was “relentless”. Also, their was another option like" an indefinable feature of the landscape", which could very well fit in the" tree" and “blossom” context. Furthermore, I think this question had a line reference, which DID NOT include the girl being pushed, but rather a description of the crowd as “trees, grass and sky etc.”</p>

<p>I’ve sorry, but I must interrupt the discussion to celebrate Star Jones’ being fired on the celebrity apprentice! Now that’s a passage I would love to read about!</p>

<p>@vivizzz
relentless also means unyielding or inexorable, both which basically mean unstoppable
in the context of the passage when it was talking about the river pushing her and taking her against her will, it would be relentless</p>

<p>also, why would it be indefinable? which means 'impossible to describe", to be honest, i dont think thousands of people on a street is indefinable</p>

<p>@OMF I don’t think the part “river pushing her” was actually in the line reference, the reference was about blahbalh as the ground, blahblah as the column, blahblah as the sky or something like that. “indefinable” could mean" difficult to seperate". Since there were so many people and the author described them as"trees" and “blossoms”, those people could not be seperated from the landscape and are part of the landscape, so they were"an indefinable feature/part of the lanscape"</p>

<p>i found the jazz passage fyi </p>

<p>[The</a> jazz cadence of American culture - Google Books](<a href=“The Jazz Cadence of American Culture - Google Books”>The Jazz Cadence of American Culture - Google Books) </p>

<p>bottom of page 282</p>

<p>can u guys give me more details and other answer choices on the imagery question and the “evocative and moving” question? i dont remember too much of these two… maybe cuz i was wrong.</p>

<p>and to be more exact, i think the video game q was “topic 1 being an objective account (or analysis?) vs topic 2 being harmful bhlabhla”.</p>

<p>Is there a consolidated list anywhere?</p>

<p>found the river passage, confirms its relentless</p>

<p>[The</a> Time of Our Singing - Google Books](<a href=“The Time of Our Singing: A Novel - Richard Powers - Google Books”>The Time of Our Singing: A Novel - Richard Powers - Google Books)</p>

<p>middle of page 40, reference to the Tidal Basin
it says the mass of bodies deposits her, HELPLESS</p>

<p>Lol I still don’t know what to think after re-reading the jazz passage…</p>

<p>i honestly think it should be “creativity precedes conservatory training”
IF thats the answer choice and not vice-versa
if it is the opposite, i have NO idea why i’m being so adamant, but i’m almost sure its creativity before conservator, not the other way around, although some people might disagree
if im wrong, i made a stupid, stupid mistake, i’ve never actually literally misread an answer choice…</p>

<p>[Jazz</a> passage](<a href=“The Jazz Cadence of American Culture - Google Books”>The Jazz Cadence of American Culture - Google Books)</p>

<p>^Ugh dammit, re-reading that passage and I’m second guessing myself on everything. I put ‘personal and creative’ as well as ‘demanding’ instead of formal precedes whatever. What’s the consensus on this?</p>
