November 2010 SAT - Critical Reading

<p>fmpak, do you remember what the sentences were for “menacing…audacity” and “something…abashed.” And yes, I got confound for one. something about scientific data I think</p>

<p>blue, do you remember what sentence went with unnerved?</p>

<p>which question did the languorous answer belong too? and what were the other choices??</p>

<p>Can confirm posthumously, miscellany, feasible…monetary, eclectic, and languorous. What was the sentence for menacing…audacity? And I put extrapolate instead of confound, but not sure.</p>

<p>Also, distrust and derivation were two of the easier SCs.</p>

<p>The answer is definitely renegade.
a deserter from one faith, cause, or allegiance to another
an individual who rejects lawful or conventional behavior</p>

<p>feasible…monetary was one</p>

<p>For the Caribbean one I put [something] and dynamic…</p>

<p>sorry mapleleaf, i can barely remember the words haha</p>

<p>I confirm posthumously, miscellany, eclectic, and languorous</p>

<p>The author of the first passage described the idea that academics went first as lovable but violated and ridiculous, so using synonyms, it was appealing but ludicrous.</p>

<p>Haha no worries</p>

<p>And crzygmer, I can confirm those</p>

<p>Did anyone get “childish” for one? I thought that sounded way too obvious, but that was one of the earlier ones so…</p>

<p>which one do you guys think was the experimental section? I hope it is the first one about echolocation…</p>

<p>neglible?

i remember something…trepidation, i didnt pick it though</p>

<p>dont remember the questions</p>

<p>@prospect8 I agree the answer was baleful and something else.</p>
