May SAT CR Thread

<p>The two authors agree that the String theory has no experimental backup(something along those lines)</p>

<p>@wangh
The reason that passage 1 claimed that the scientists couldn’t succeed in doing anything was because the math was too hard. Passage 1 said that there were equations that we didn’t even know.</p>

<p>wangh1- care to read other posts on the thread?</p>

<p>wowwww…someone plzzzzzz tell me the commonplace/startling</p>

<p>it was more like at its current state string theory would be considered incomplete</p>

<p>@mustbesuccessful: commonplace/startling was about the scientist being harsh in the 19th century (see aljohri’s post)</p>

<p>does anyone remember a literary elements question being asked in the frida kahlo passage? it was something about a mask and a face?? I know it was a veiled reference, but I was stuck choosing between a couple options on that</p>

<p>Yep I got that the two authors agree that at its present state string theory isnt reliable or something to that effect. Anyone else get this?</p>

2)fits and starts was sudden bursts

<h2>2)Authors agree that in its current state the string theory is incomplete</h2>

<h2>Passage 3 is here: <a href=“http://collins.thefreelibrary.com/The-Moonstone/1-1[/url]”>http://collins.thefreelibrary.com/The-Moonstone/1-1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

<h2>It will be on the easy side probably in the 3rd or 4th slot.</h2>

<p>keep adding/put a question mark and repost the list with your reason if you disagree</p>

<p>In the Frida Kahlo passage I got devotion for the answer with the nuns. I think</p>

<p>for the “defamed” question - what exactly was it asking about the innocent people?</p>

<p>SOMEONE please answer this!</p>

<p>pratttennis
The answer had something to do with the dress serving two different purposes. Something along those lines.</p>

<p>matthew-
Past posters are split on the “arbitrary” vs. “complexity” question as well.</p>

<p>Yes. Hey if I didn’t bomb the string theory too badly (by some gift from God), I may have gotten above a 600 on the CR. </p>

<p>whats the projected CR score for -10 or so?</p>

<p>that is with 3 SC incorrect and 7 passage-based</p>

<p>What factory do you know of has chimps as employees? What factory even exists for the purpose of cracking nuts?</p>

<p>Factories are distinctively human. The author tried to assimilate chimps with humans throughout the passage. The [human] factory that chimps worked in was just another example.</p>

<p>The answer is something like “gives insight into human nature” and not “nuts blah blah.”</p>

<p>@prettennis </p>

<p>-10 is probably around 650-660</p>

<p>mabs - i believe it was saying what the accused but innocent people were due to the speculation or something.</p>

<p>can someone please explain the cost/personal loss question?
i usually remember EVERYTHING but this isn’t even ringing a bell. I’m very afraid that i misbubbled. please help</p>

<p>“Authors agree that string theory had no experimental backup”</p>

<p>Was it the one with incomplete or something?</p>

<p>i have another one!</p>

<p>frida kalho believes that playing a role allows you to express your inner feelings more?? as opposed to an outside appearance</p>

<p>^ that was definitely not the same wording but if that jogs anyone’s memory.</p>

<p>

Yup this is the wording I was talking about a few posts back.</p>

<p>oh cool wang. I remember putting that also. was that the same question that asked you to infer something about frida kahlo’s personality? I know she borrowed her clothes from Navajo indians or some chizz like that. what was the answer to that one…it reflected about her personality either that she was “colorful” or “sympathetic to poor people”</p>

<p>very vague quotes, that probably wasn’t the actual verbage of answer choices</p>

<p>@Keeks123 I don’t remember the context but it just said what does cost mean, and one of the choices was personal toll. i think it was the buttler passage</p>
