November 2010 SAT - Critical Reading

<p>it was confound for sure, I got that one wrong :frowning:
idk about the judge one, I definitely remember quiescent, but I don’t remember what I put…</p>

<p>^you’re right.</p>

<p>So i want to know the answer w/ spanned a long era/variety of styles?</p>

<p>@backfing
It just said he didn’t follow like “standard” ballroom style, and danced at an angle from the ground. It didn’t say anything about a variety of styles, just that he had his own unique style, so I’m pretty sure the answer is the span of time one.</p>

<p>Also what are you guys talking about for the concession one? :x
I don’t remember a question/answer like that at all.
Anyone mind saying the question / some other options?</p>

<p>I put confound too…but I was vacillating between that an invoke. Does anyone remember the wording of the sentence?</p>

<p>verve
obdurate
dearth - diminution
deficient
convenient
flexible(i put reciprocality =( )
foster - exhort </p>

<p>Couple short psg
-something about marriage
-complex personality</p>

<p>Carribean
Culture - generated
govt - commercial rather than culture
something with inclusive
something with paradox</p>

<p>Quantum Physicist(boring)
all my answers were along the line of… there not being a single visual model</p>

<p>Deception
Calculated - planned
could / should say - calculated / sincerity
in conclusion, both authors show fundamental nature of decepting behaviors
tone of the quote - nonchalance
psg 2 - judgemental
psg 2 - deception can lead to harmful behaviors</p>

<p>Homecoming
new home - landscape
father and the author understand each other</p>

<p>I went back and forth between B and E on that too and went with E. She seemed to lack confidence (an earlier answer) but nothing suggested she was distrusting.</p>

<p>For the ballroom dancer, what were the other choices? I think I put C. There was no concrete answer IMO. He didn’t span a “lot” of eras, I don’t think. It was his era and then when he came out of retirement. He also didn’t use a variety of styles necessarily, just a unique one.</p>

<p>yes! good to know someone had the same as i did.
okay so we’re torn on the tone question. tentative, flippant, or judgmental?
i thought it was judgmental because he/she described passionately about what’ll happen in relationships if you lie.</p>

<p>@blue
Don’t worry, it was confounded.<br>
The sentence went something along the lines of “the new evidence uprooted previous data; existing scientific theories were _____.”</p>

<p>Also, are you sure it’s complex behavior for the woman. i put moderate expectations because he said he was able to give her what she wants. i remembered the last sentence mention something about sides, but i’m not sure about ‘multiple’ sides.</p>

<p>@wings
He spanned at least 2-3. First it started out as normal ballroom dancing, then he came onto the scene and established his own kind of ballroom dance, then rock music came along and ballroom dancing went out of fashion, and finally he came back and possibly popularized it again by winning that award.</p>

<p>Well actually the passage described the dancer’s career in the 20’s, the 50’s, and the decades following. The passage never discussed the dancer’s variety</p>

<p>i put judgemental</p>

<p>does anyone remember the SC question about william penn about how “in the public he _____ a simple life or something but in private he led a life of comparitive____”</p>

<p>ok. uhmm</p>

<p>Dancer- i put variety of styles. what was the other question?
Global Warming-
i thought it was reasonable or something of the likes instead of overblown cuz passage 1 and 2 both start with how global warming is a key issue in today’s age.
what was the 2nd question to this?</p>

<p>i put surprise and pleasure for the chinese girl one.</p>

<p>what was the other short passage? haha</p>

<p>Why doesn’t presented work for produced question?</p>

<p>FARM HOUSE DAUGHTER passage!</p>

<p>collegeboard REUSED IT!!! This passage is from May 2005.</p>

<p>One word.</p>

<p>WOW, </p>

<p>I got another version. Still this is totally NOT fair. I will send an email to collegeboard or sth.</p>

<p>Pookie - I agree! Makes me feel so much better. If by a miracle I got everything else right, then I might have an 800! (I think I’ll leave before I start doubting myself)</p>

<p>i was caught in between moderate and complex.
i thought it said she had many of the ‘wants’ or something. so yeah.</p>

<p>and im pretty sure about judgemental cus author 2 maintained that lying is bad.
and … i just dictinoary.com’ed judgmental: making judgements, esp on MORALITY.</p>

<p>Yeah but it said he quit in the '50s when rock and roll came around. I might have picked that anyway though because it just seemed at least a bit correct. I might have left it blank, too. Or chosen something else entirely.</p>

<p>pookie, i disagree with this answer in the deception passage:</p>

<p>could / should say - calculated / sincerity</p>

<p>i put what is CONCEIVABLE to say/what is BENEFICIAL to say. i am pretty sure it is right. thoughts from anyone else?</p>

<p>i’m kinda worried about the tone one with judgmental/flippant all those answers…i put A judgmental like a lot of you. i hope that’s right.</p>
