<p>what was the fierce/contentious question again?</p>
<p>Was the Mexican painter lady the experimental section??</p>
<p>the answer choices were lifelike/employ, so that would be FALSE. the correct answer is fanciful/exploit.</p>
<p>was one of the answers reticent, or penitent…? about timid employers asking for raises?</p>
<p>yes reticent to ask increases</p>
<ul>
<li>Exploit is negative. Employ is positive. The passage is positive. Exploit could be used, but I dunno.</li>
<li>Fanciful has to do with fantasy. Lifelike, as in the animals and plants behaved lifelike, like humans. Both answers could be used.</li>
</ul>
<p>Close. I’m not sure.</p>
<p>Linger sounds confident about that question. Good man. I am very skeptical about how I did on the string theory passage. I misbubbled and it threw my whole timing off…</p>
<p>I remember about the timid employers I put “confident” (I think)</p>
<p>Rezo - it wasn’t.</p>
<p>l0rdie - that was “the geoguy’s rebuttal of the hypothesis was <em>__, even compared to the normally </em> geowhatever community.”</p>
<p>For the masks and frames question, I said they were contradictory, but that question did confuse me a little.</p>
<p>I put reticent (Can any confirm that want experimental and was correct)</p>
<p>The mexican painter one was in the same section as the chimpanzee one, correct?</p>
<p>Was it experimental? Which reading section was experimental!</p>
<p>I also put reticent. ^</p>

<h2>3) stolen diamond w/ lawyer and butler</h2>
<p>2)author of passage 2 would be in complete agreement
3)butler was deferential at lawyer
prudent (mom going to college with daughter)
typical answer(daughter’s italics remarks)
3)‘want’ means lack of
2)superhuman computer represents lack of technology to use it as a tool
2)passage 2 would say that the mathematicians and physicians should pursue different avenues
3)“as soon as he turned his back” showed his eagerness
3)the quote from robert crusoe represented an omen
3)growing sense of alarm(in lawyer)/moment of perplexity
3)Only repeated meant brevity of interval
1)look in chimpanzee’s eye/raising of hand shows relation between empathy and technology
3)cost means personal toll
1)chimpanzees were cracking nuts
3)puffery was self-regard and exaggeration
lying passage - qualification
welsh passage - her nationality wasn’t her most important characteristic
3)innocent people were defamed
2)passage 1 says reason string theory is hard to prove is because of complexity of mathematics
2)fits and starts was sudden bursts</p>

<p>keep adding/put a question mark and repost the list with your reason if you disagree</p>
<p>anyone remember “commonplace” ?</p>
<p>that Mexican painter…there was a question bout ARTIFICE…choices were like “complex incomprehensible masquerade”, “dramatize own history”, “alter personality”…cant remember the others…wat was the ans??</p>
<p>for the “defamed” question - what exactly was it asking about the innocent people?</p>
<p>Why is the “as soon as he turned his back” question eagerness? I can see how that works, but I put courtesy. The woman was a butler, so I thought she was showing courtesy by waiting until the man turned away to go off and write.</p>
<p>@boston1993 “exploit” is not negative.</p>
<p>I don’t agree with “want=lack of”. I think it was “desire”</p>
<p>Reticent is correct, everyone. It means reserved, so they were too shy to ask for a raise.</p>
<p>anyone remember a sentence completion that was wideranging something about different cultures (I had an experimental CR section so can anyone confirm this?)</p>
<p>Mx painter section with Frida Kahlo was definitely not experimental. The experimental section was the one pertaining to Vienna? I had 4 readings…I believe it was section 3. I wanted the reading experimental to be counted as real thing though…string theory passage RAPED me :////</p>
<p>anyone else feel strongly about string theory being the most ridiculous SAT passage they’ve ever come across?</p>
<p>oh and for one question on the super short comparison passages. I was stuck choosing between understatement and qualification. I chose qualification, but I really don’t know what that means. It was a decent conjecture I hope…it easily could have been understatement</p>
