May SAT CR Thread

<p>@guangzhun – Like aljohri, I remember the question but can’t remember my answer (it wasn’t whim though).</p>

<p>for the mexican artist, why was it costumes express emotions? it asked what the author was saying, i put something about often people wear costumes that change their attitude because then said she didnt change which was unusual</p>

<p>Matthew-
Did you find that in the links posted?</p>

<p>Boston-
The answer according to the consolidated list is “complexity of mathematics”.</p>

<p>^
It is complexity of mathematics
And matthew is 100% correct as to why.</p>

<p>is interdisciplinary one of the vocab answer? In the last section of CR…number 4 i think?</p>

<p>@jetscm4ev</p>

<p>no she like changed her costume everyday as if she was going to a fiesta or something because she though that her costume further enhanced her inner feelings as opposed to being superficial. it doesn’ change your attitude it enhances it.</p>

<p>yes, that is on page 19 of the first passage.</p>

(frida kahlo) towards the end of her life she started wearing more to hide her growing frailty</p>

<h2>(frida kahlo) mask and frame question? (two different personalities or sides)(contradicting purposes)</h2>

<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>i said something about them working together</p>

<p>On the string theory question, the author explicitly says that the difficulty of the math is one of the main problems scientists face, right? It’s that.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure the “arbitrary” choice is not the answer; author #1 even says that the arbitrary things are connected to the tangible (or something along those lines).</p>

<p>^Haha. Because the words complexity and math was directly in the passage, complexity of math is the answer? Oh god. Let’s just hope you didn’t answer all of your question with this rationality.</p>

<p>Guys, what was the closest wrong option next to “contradictory purposes” for Frida’s mask and frame?</p>

<p>@boston1993 do you even know the question? also… what? are you actually saying that answers should not be found in the passages, but arbitrarily inferred? also, if you dont know what arbitrary means, thats how u use it</p>

<p>@guangzhun: yes I remember interdisciplinary about a NASA scientist</p>

<p>Oh on the beatleridge passage with the missing diamond. </p>

<p>I was choosing between A and C on the question where it asked you to refer to the lawyer’s words from line 17 to 50 or something. was it A or C? I remember putting C at first, but switched to A after reading further ahead as the lawyer had asked each person to write his own account of what happened? Answer C was that he would interview people, then write a report on the diamond. A was something about retracing history of the diamond by asking each person to write about their relation to diamond.</p>

<p>Boston 1993, you’ve been wrong on every single section when you challenged everyone. shut the f up and stop patronizing people just cause youre sour for getting so many wrong</p>

<p>Could someone explain to me sudden bursts v. unexpected whims in the string theory passage?</p>

<p>Also… one sentence completion was about a woman in the workplace being “allergic to new ideas” and the answer I’m pretty sure was ‘Hidebound’</p>

<p>@ btangbang</p>

<p>I refuse to believe this because I chose arbitrary on the string theory question also. I hope boston wins a lot of money for this.</p>

<p>does anyone remember the sentences for:</p>

<p>commonplace/startling
nominal</p>

<p>prattenis1: I put A for that one. I think it was along the lines of getting the accounts of various individuals? I dont really remember what answer choice C was but i remember debating that one over as well.</p>
