<p>Does anyone know the exact answer for the flamingo question?</p>
<p>Yeah, I got the one with Caribbean, Quantum Physics, deception, and the farmhouse renovation. Is that the one you’re talking about?</p>
<p>Yeah that’s the one. There’s a ton of questions from the quantum physics section that we haven’t gone over yet.</p>
<p>Yeah flexible was the one.</p>
<p>It was either striking, or the colors of the feathers. I don’t quite remember which answer pairs with which question.</p>
<p>Legendaerie, bright color, I think.</p>
<p>I remember dazzling for one of the answer choices. Did anyone get that?</p>
<p>Are you sure that there is an experimental cr section ? Because I had this SAT and I’m pretty sure that my experimental section was the writing section…</p>
<p>Striking, right? Not dazzling, because I did not see that choice.</p>
<p>Dazzling was an answer for the short passage about the dancer, I believe.</p>
<p>Passage Comprehension</p>
<p>Man Visits from Northern City
Marriage proposal
woman had complex personality</p>
<p>Langston Hughes
Passage was about one of his goals as a writer
relationship was like moderator?</p>
<p>Farmhouse
The conversation between the daughter and father was a ritual that they often participated in.
Daughter went from nostalgia to indifference
parenthetical reference to lack of quotations on modern-lack of irony and self-consciousness
absence makes the heart grow fonder
both the daughter and the father are conscious to each other’s feelings
author implies that newer farmhouses have a better view of the countryside</p>
<p>Chemical Farming
Both authors agree that world’s population needs to be supported
“That’s right.”- Author acknowledges that her point is surprising
Author of Passage 2 would argue that even using just a little bit of chemicals can produce high-yield crops
Passage 1 offers a solution while Passage 2 offers a moderated version of it</p>
<p>Hummingbird
passage explains why not all hummingbirds have evolved to have long bills</p>
<p>Quantum Physics (grrr……)
nervous=uneasy
visualization affected the work style of one quantum physicist
“shatter question”- showed how old ideas were discredited
First paragraph served to set up the nature of the problem</p>
<p>Caribbean
produced=generated
Government more motivated by commercial than cultural interests
Youngsters idolizing Hollywood celebrities- effect of “cultural penetration” Japanese
Caribbean families are flexible and inclusive
language is tenacious and dynamic
Caribbean ppl often denied sense of identity
To show a paradox set of attitudes (why talk about family and language?) </p>
<p>Deception
Last paragraph functions to make a general statement about the nature of deception
Author 2’s tone was more judgmental
habitually lying dehumanizes the liar
calculated=planned
could/should say= conceivable…beneficial
tone of quote was nonchalant
the 19th century philosophers would claim that lying leads to more vicious and harmful lying</p>
<p>@lovewangzi That was for the bird of paradise-bright color</p>
<p>That’s weird, because I don’t remember “striking” as an answer choice.</p>
<p>To add on to deception:
The author of passage 1 would respond to author 2 by saying deception is necessary in some social situations</p>
<p>Langston Hughes I think is “advisor”</p>
<p>Striking was asking about the color of the feathers, I believe. And dazzling was when asked to describe the dance move.</p>
<p>@Legendaerie, you are right</p>
<p>All I remember was for the flamingo question I chose the answer that dealt with color. Is that the one with striking?</p>
<p>Wasn’t the discussion on this version of the test closed by the mods?</p>
<p>Why would it be closed???</p>
<p>does anyone remember obdurate for a SC?</p>
