May SAT CR Thread

<p>@iforgeteasily, thanks, not sure if i got it right though…</p>

<p>@ mook32: i think it was math that was experimetntal</p>

<p>it wasn’t ludicrously because of economical
i said the chimps were productive because they were getting nuts out of the nut trees
i didn’t put avenues of research because i felt that meant new ways to research string theory
i thought choice A said something about focusing on other things</p>

<p>That was a bad question, I put the one that started with a p- because it sort of sounded like pretentious or something. Stupid mistake, but I didn’t know any of those answers.</p>

<p>ah i guess thats what they were saying with “economy”… yea now i agree it was succinctly</p>

<p>ANSWER: “Succinctly.”
why? b/c in the sentence… it went on to talk about how the economy(lack of elaborate detail) does not impact the quality of drawings. “Succinctly” means brevity, clarity.</p>

<p>i had a writing experimental
my brother had a reading
people are saying that had a math
i think theres one of every type</p>

<p>Also, I doubt that the “alarm” choice was right for whichever question it was. Reading through the passage, the first thing that stuck in my mind was how calm and indifferent the main character dude seemed to be. He wasn’t alarmed at any time…</p>

<p>ostensible: About how in the book called Wild Parrots___? is ostensibly about birds but in fact about human nature… or something to that effect.</p>

<p>for one of the chimpanzee questions it said the narrator says factory because? I got “because they resemble the workhabits of humans” something along those lines</p>

<p>do you guys know if there’s a writing thread?</p>

<p>anyone have a defendable argument for an answer choice for the factory question? ppl seem to be very divided on that</p>

<p>One of the passages (the monkey one, maybe?) had a question about puffery. What was the answer? There was something about flattery and exageration</p>

<p>i said self regard?</p>

<p>for that “growing sense of alarm,” I had “momentary perplexity.” </p>

<p>i thought that because in the second sentence of that 2 sentence bit, he stated that something to the gist of “I still didn’t know what my role in this was.”</p>

<p>for the puffery question, i think i guess (B) exaggerated self-regard or something</p>

<p>Does anyone remember two short passages about lying and it asked you what the rhetorical device was used in the lines mentioned, or was that experimental?</p>

<p>I put the mimic thing at first, too, but went against that in the end because the mimic thing implies that the monkeys saw what humans are doing in factories and decided to try their hands at it…which definitely wasn’t the case. That might have been the best choice, though :frowning: But I forget what the other answer choices were. I think I put regimented lives…I’m feeling remorseful about that now lol</p>

<p>string theory experimental or the one about venice. Both were double passages</p>

<p>@Absolutezero:</p>

<p>Ugh. I put paradox for that because both the sentences were like “Well, this is what is said to happen, but no! This other thing is what actually happens!” and the other ones didn’t make sense. Was generalization one of the choices for that? I think that may have been the answer, looking back at it.</p>

<p>@robo mind, i put “momentary perplexity” too! it was choice (A) i think… are you guys sure it’s the alarm choice?</p>
