<p>TO ALL: WE NEED SOMEONE WITH VERSION 1 THAT CAN PROVIDE AN EXPLANATION BEHIND TO WHICH OF THEIR SECTIONS WAS EXPERIMENTAL. I UNDERSTAND THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE V. 1 DOESN’T MEAN YOU HAVE THE SAME EXPERIMENTAL SECTION.</p>

<p>i can’t figure out whether cr, math, or writing was experimental in my case. grr.</p>

<p>No_audio: Did you have 2 35 minute writing sections, 4 math, or 4 CR?</p>

<p>^^the thing is, i don’t remember. i kinda want someone with version 1 to tell me which of HIS/HER sections was experimental, and give me some questions from that particular section to jog my memory… i’m sure it wasn’t writing though. can’t remember if i had 2 grid ins or not…i had a feeling my experimental was CR… but people say all the listed passages aren’t experimental, and i’m having trouble remembering another passage.</p>

<p>@ MIFUNE,</p>

<p>while i was looking around in this thread, i saw you got an 800 in CR last month. that’s epic. i also took last month’s, and i was thinking to myself that whoever got 800 on THAT cr was amazing. congrats.</p>

<p>AND LASTLY, I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE ARE MORE THAN 10,000 VIEWS ON THIS THREAD, YET SO LIMITED PARTICIPATION. i would think more CC’ers were pointlessly obsessed with their SAT’s!! WE NEED MORE BRAINS HERE.</p>

<p>i looked on dictionary.com and it says that mantle means concealment…
and that’s what i put…
i think it goes with the context also… doesn’t it??</p>

<p>Yeah, “appearance” was the correct answer. (hehe)</p>

<p>No_audio: Oh, I see. Well, I think all the original excitement of the first day has fizzed away now, and most people have gotten confirmation on any questions they weren’t sure about, anyway. Plus most people’s memories of the questions are starting to fade. </p>

<p>I’m still pretty obsessed, though. The suspense is killing me. :(</p>

<p>hahahaha “‘mantle’ was the correct answer”
that wasnt even an option!</p>

<p>so was mantle more appearance or concealment?
the whole passage was a blow to me…;;
so confusing :(</p>

<p>i said appearance. But hey, i did quite bad on this reading. So whatever.</p>

<p>Geeez, I failed. :(</p>

<p>I put appearance. If you substitute the word directly into the context, it makes more sense.</p>

<p>I don’t agree w/ all of no_audio’s…we’ll have to wait til the 24th to see</p>

<p>Neither do I.</p>

<p>I’m with ya xAAAx but those are just the consensus around the forum… They’re not necessarily correct. Yep, we’ll have to wait and see I suppose.</p>

<p>My experimental was math, but I have such limited memory of it. It probably was the one with popcorn in it. Huh.</p>

<p>I think mifune said it a long while back, but the one where it explains the greatness of fuel cells is how it applies to automobiles, I think. The primary purpose of the sentence was not to compare BATTERY to GAS but to compare FUEL CELLS to GAS.</p>

<p>And I put down sensory qualities. I don’t think there was any connection with the words with the previous paragraph because there was no indication of such.</p>

<p>I put down sensory because the other ones just didn’t make sense.</p>

<p>Rolling something like marbles in your mouth re-creates the sensation of touch; she seems to like the marbles in her mouth. Yes, she likes the English language for its rich history, but for that specific line reference, the marbles jump out at me as sensory.</p>

<p>It wasn’t a specific line reference, it was asking for that entire paragraph</p>

<p>Audio’s answers for version 2 look correct to me.</p>

<p>But CrossTheUniverse, nowhere in that paragraph is there any mention of English’s history. This seriously contrasts with the previous paragraph, which is all about history. In the tabernacle paragraph, she discusses marbles in her mouth and antidisestablishmentarianism and rhyming and marvelling, but no mention of history.</p>

<p>It’s definitely sensory. Marbles in mouth = sensory. Plus she is saying words that sound neat and are awkward to say.</p>

<p>If anyone is interested, the monkey/tiger paragraph is here: [The</a> monkey riding the tiger bamboo moon](<a href=“http://velvetvirus.■■■■■■■■■■■■■/the-monkey-riding-the-tiger/]The”>http://velvetvirus.■■■■■■■■■■■■■/the-monkey-riding-the-tiger/)</p>

<p>After rereading it, I definitely think the answer is rattling a chain. We were asked to find the best comparison to “playing the drab deck of cards we were dealt” or something like that. The chain was forged a while ago, and all we can do is rattle it (like the cards, which were dealt to us and we simply have to play them).</p>
