May SAT CR Thread

<p>For superhuman computer, was it something about fully take advantage of to use as a tool?</p>

<p>And which one was the one about alarm? What was the other options?</p>

<p>yeah it talked about how technology was all big and scary but it’s the affection that connects us with chimps.
So I put technology and empathy.</p>

<p>Also, I think it was different avenues of research for the string theory question because the passage 2 guy hinted over and over again that scientists and mathematicians should stop bothering with string theory since it isn’t getting anywhere and do other things. The other answers just didn’t make sense.</p>

<p>sentence completion:
ostensibly?
squalid?
realistic/___ (not protege/___)
tycoon?</p>

<p>passages:

  1. chimpanzees
  2. physics string theory
  3. stolen diamond w/ lawyer and butler</p>

<p>author of passage 2 would be in complete agreement
butler was deferential at lawyer
prudent
‘want’ means lack of
superhuman computer represents lack of technology to use it as a tool
passage 2 would say that the mathematicians and physicians should pursue different avenues/interdisciplinary?(split)
“as soon as he turned his back” showed his eagerness
the quote from robert crusoe represented an omen
growing sense of alarm(in lawyer)
Only repeated meant brevity of interval(split)
look in chimpanzee’s eye/raising of hand shows relation between empathy and technology</p>

<p>keep adding</p>

<p>which was the answer to the “chimps” thing, it was one of first questiosn in that passage</p>

<p>and interdisciplinary was one of the vocab answers</p>

<p>The only sentence completion I was unsure of was the one between squalid and cataclysmic. I put cataclysmic.</p>

<p>What was the Madame CJ Walker?</p>

<p>was “succinct” one of the answers or “precocious”</p>

<p>got squalid for that one :confused: because it was talking about the deteriorating conditions in whatever it was describing. cataclysmic doesn’t fit because it would talk about a total destruction.</p>

<p>i remember putting “succinctly”</p>

<p>Definitely succinct because it talked about the economical stuff, meaning that they held back on explaining/painting (I forget which). Also, shallowness hinted at it. </p>

<p>And it was squalid conditions, meaning everything is really dirty and icky.</p>

<p>sentence completion:
ostensibly?
squalid(not cataclysmic)
realistic/___ (not protege/___)
tycoon?
salient
interdisciplinary
succictly</p>

<p>passages:

  1. chimpanzees
  2. physics string theory
  3. stolen diamond w/ lawyer and butler</p>

<p>author of passage 2 would be in complete agreement
butler was deferential at lawyer
prudent

cost means … (moral fortitude was a wrong answer)</p>

<p>keep adding</p>

<p>@easysats</p>

<p>you mean the one about what the chimps were doing? I put using simple tools to crack nuts but I wasn’t too sure about that one :/</p>

<p>What did the person feel for the lawyer? I put empathetic, anyone?</p>

<p>For cost, was it social sacrifice or personal toll?</p>

<p>I put the latter.</p>

<p>for the cost question, was it not moral fortitude?</p>

<p>@ arsenal I got crack nuts as well</p>

<p>@ Bassir I got personal toll, not sure.</p>

<p>was it personal something for what cost means? cuz thats what i got</p>

<p>Wait, why are salient and ostensibly in that list together? Wasn’t it one question? And it was ostensibly, meaning only on the surface or at first glance.</p>

<p>Some vocab answers:
succintly, ostensible(which means apparently), archeaologist, tycoon/__, squalid,
fierce/contentious (field of geology?)</p>

<p>cost was personal toll I believe.</p>
