May SAT 2011: CR Section

<p>so im guessing the biggest points of contention are

  1. relentless force/undefinable aspect
  2. jazz demanding/preceding
  3. evidence for natural history/some other choices???
  4. anyone still debating the sparks and smokes as futility??? or is it most definitely effort?</p>

<p>is that it?? i think the others are pretty much set…</p>

<p>For reference, I put:

  1. relentless force - mostly because of the word “deposit”
  2. demanding - didn’t think the others fit
  3. I think I put evidence for natural history - don’t really remember question
  4. effort - just about certain</p>

<p>MY VOTE IS IN FOR</p>

<p>indefinable aspect</p>

<p>jazz-preceeding</p>

<p>^jd
do you remember the wording of the preceding answer?
was it “creativity precedes conservatory” or “conservatory precedes creativity”?</p>

<p>i said indefinable aspect of the landscape as well, but it was really a toss up between that and relentless force of nature for me. so far that’s the only one i don’t feel confident on, so i’m not too worried.</p>

<p>after rereading the passage i still feel like either one could have worked; after talking about how the people flowed for miles, she described the features of the surroundings like the sky and grass. it was indefinable because it wasn’t a crowd of one race - it was thousands of different colored people. but the whole “deposits me helpless” part also makes me inclined to think that relentless force may have been the answer after all, so who knows. :/</p>

<p>its not indefinable
indefinable means “vague, abstract, etc.”
and while the passage did describe the sky, trees, etc. as parts of nature, the people themselves were not described as a part of nature, other than being relentless “river”</p>

<p>i dont know about you guys, but i think the it was conservatory preceding creativity… so for me it was demanding…</p>

<p>and i HONESTLY REALLY THINK ITS RELENTLESS i just dont see how it could be “undefinable” => how does that apply to the crowd???</p>

<p>im very miffed about the evidence question… any ideas??</p>

<p>it wasn’t necessarily nature, just the landscape. indefinable means not able to be precisely defined/identified/etc., which makes sense because it’s not a homogeneous crowd. i just felt that it fit with the overall passage a little bit more, but it very well could be relentless force.</p>

<p>and yeah, almost positive that the jazz one was demanding.</p>

<p>i thought it was pretty clear that the answer to one of the jazz questions was demanding</p>

<p>i dont think when it say “indefinable” they meant a mixed crowd… just a part of the landscape that no one knows which doesnt really make any sense…</p>

<p>and anyone put in their thoughts on the evidence question??? really REALLY uncomfortable with that question</p>

<p>what was the evidence question?</p>

<p>what gutrhie thought of the lions/bisons/beautiful paintings described in passage 1:
choices were: evidence for natural history/early paintings by accomplished artists/data for art historians and two more but i forgot</p>

<p>For the evidence one, I’m starting to like the “data for natural historians” cause gurtie mentioned how these scientists thought these paintings were Michelangelo-esque and would unlock information about the past. AND since the painting in question were NOT done by teenagers, gurtie viewed them as credible. I think. That’s my reasoning two days after.</p>

<p>ARGUMENT AGAINST EVIDENCE: these historians already had evidence from cave paintings of natural history before. These paintings would be good data to research but not necessarily provide evidence of natural history. I think the gist of the passages was how the paintings were “evocative/moving” (as I failed to realize <em>sigh</em>) they were not going to be used as evidence of natural history, which wasn’t even really discussed as far as I can recollect. </p>

<p>Hope you guys can comprehend my argument on the borderline of insanity. </p>

<p>I think I contradicted myself about the unlocking mentioned above. </p>

<p>New opinion: these answers are practically the same so neither would be correct. THE ANSWER LOOMS ELSEWHERE . da da da da…</p>

<p>i said data for art historians but i thought all the answers were weird so idk.</p>

<p>i actually put accomplished artists because i thought that:
the paintings in p1 were NOT done by teenagers since they were put in textbooks, so they were probably done by good artists</p>

<p>however, i was really debating on the data and evidence but those two choices seemed SO SIMILAR that i thought none of them could be correct… and the other two answers were so off i forgot what they were…</p>

<p>Does anyone remember this vocab one:
His confidence and ability were sometimes mistaken by his friends as ----, but he didn’t listen to anyone.</p>

<p>Thats not how it went, but one of the answers were supercilious or superfluous</p>

<p>^dont remember personally… might be cuz im getting really delusional…and really dont think i had anything like “supercilious” or “superfluous”</p>

<p>i don’t think it was accomplished artists. guthrie thought that the cave paintings WEREN’T done by accomplished artists, even though everyone else did. i don’t remember the evidence answer, it seems like it would have worked too though… i remember not liking that question!</p>

<p>@pch340, the answer was obstreperous.</p>

<p>@Dizzying
I think it’s a different question
the obstreperous one had to do something with the child
@pch340
is that from the experimental section?
cuz i think i saw it in the same section that had venice</p>

<p>i think i will cry in my little hole of misery for that stupid evidence question… i wish someone who had gotten consecutive 800s would just tell us the answer jeezes.</p>

<p>is there any more vocab that we cab think of??? itd be real nice to find a couple more just to hit the 67 mark faster…</p>
