Monarch Butterfly CR Passage

<ol>
<li>yes</li>
<li>I think it was something different. Maybe instinctive?
3,4. yes</li>
<li>I can't remember.</li>
<li>I think there was one question with the comprehensiveness of his skepticism? That was the correct answer.</li>
<li>I put something different.</li>
<li>Not sure.</li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>had something to do with instinct</li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li><p>i put the one that was like "it was intentional" or something, because wenner said that migration implies the butterflies were deliberate... uhhhhh</p></li>
<li><p>i didn't put that. anyone remember the question?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>^ I thinkkk that was it for #2. And same with me for 5.</p>

<p>i didn't know if it was the intentional answer or the innate one... oh well.</p>

<p>" But Adrian Wenner, monarch-navigation dissident and UCSB emeritus professor of biology, remains skeptical. He said he believes prevailing scientific dogma — and the notion that scientific journals and the media are suckers for glamour — has prevented researchers from accepting the possibility that the insects simply hop on jet streams and go with the flow." Don't know if that helps...would indicate that the answer is intentional (or rather that migration implies volition). God speed!
And, “Look, do you think a butterfly can navigate for thousands of miles?” he asked. “Navigation implies that they have in their little tiny brains the ability to migrate across the entire United States to these groves."

<p>Yeah I put that Wenner's definition of migration is something that is intentional, because it mentioned something with the words intentional in the passage.</p>

<p>Yeah, I also put that it was intentional...or was it deliberate.</p>

<p>Yeah, I put whatever A was for the definition of migration (something along the lines of deliberate or intentional), because in the passage Wenner said that admiting migration would be saying that all animals had "intent", like humans.</p>

<p>I found this passage to be the most difficult of any SAT/PSAT/Other Standardized Tests that I've taken. Hopefully there's a nice curve though, as I expect there will be.</p>

<p>Posting this again... Does anyone remember this question?</p>

<p>"Her (1st passage) experience with false stuff because of the wind's effects on vanishing bearing would most support the claim made by Wenner that..."</p>

<ul>
<li>Her data was analyzed incorrectly.</li>
<li>She didn't have enough data to be significant.</li>
<li>The wind has a big effect on migration.</li>
<li>forget the other choices.</li>
</ul>

<p>What did you guys put???</p>

<p>i believe this was the only one i omitted on the test.</p>

<p>I was VERY torn :(</p>

<p>i can tell you that i almost put A. That's about all I remember.</p>

<p>You mean the actual letter A on the test, or the first one that I mentioned?</p>

<p>it's that her data was observational...Weiner mentioned how all the statistics of the experiment were wrong and that they were not significant...so the only way to counter that statement would be to justify that she observed the migration</p>

<p>Are we talking about different questions? There was one that asked "What would be the most pertinent way for her to respond to his claim?" and then there was this one, a different one.</p>

<p>yeah that was it</p>

<p>So what about that other question?</p>

<p>For that one I put whichever answer was like "wind affects migration."</p>

<p>Crap. I didn't think it was that one.</p>
