November 2010 SAT - Critical Reading

<p>Ogdochindu and CrzyGmer789X2 : what did you think ? Hard or easy ?</p>

<p>I had Carribean/Creole, Physics, Farmhouse, & Lying </p>

<p>BTW I took the test in NJ as well</p>

<p>In general I found this CR section to be much easier than the October CR. The sentence completions killed me on that one along with a few controversial passage questions.</p>

<p>This test seemed to be much more straightforward.</p>

<p>i had the Caribbean culture passage</p>

<p>Can we talk about questions and make a consolidate list?</p>

<p>Brost- lol now I regret not taking this one.</p>

<p>-9 SC, -0 passage on Oct test -.-</p>

<p>Yes lets start discussing. I thought the passages were ALOT harder than october’s</p>

<p>Definitely 2 different tests…
BTW I tried to look at the test of the person in front of me and it was not the same but I thought they always do that because they know that some people will try to cheat…</p>

<p>I thought that mine (echolocation) was challenging. I was seriously having a mental breakdown during the echolocation passage. The college athlete and the calligraphy/artist one weren’t that bad though.</p>

<p>ok, the passage with the girl talking about her old house… the question which asked about her talking about parentheses around modern and her parents’ attitudes and whatnot, what was that? </p>

<p>i put generational something, but i really have no idea</p>

<p>Mine is the easy one.
And Let us dicuss some questions. I can not remember a lot of them.
short passage:
Passage about Caribbean Culture:
Government: motivated by commercial motives rather than cultural one
why talk about family and language? – To show a paradox set of attitudes
family: flexible and inclusive
language: tenacious and dynamic
a example of “cultural penetration”: idolization of Hollywood fimls by Japanese teenagers
short passage:

  1. Settlement: --to have an engagement
  2. Woman is characterized by what? —I choose modest expection.
  3. The passage is about what? --his goal
  4. Fuction like? – an advisor
    Passage about new farmhouse:
    Newer farmhouses: --are enhanced by attractive surrounding./ offer the view of countryside
    the talk between “me” and father: part of ritual
    parenthestical one : lack of irony or self-consciousness
    final question(Number 15): They are both attentive to what the other think.
    Passage about deception:
    What do the author 1 and 2 do at the final paragraph of their passage? –-Make generalizations about the nature of lying?
    Line 56-58 “ lying makes them habitualize to deception and their brain ”–I choose lying … the fuction of … I can not remeber it.
    Compared to author1, author2’s tone is more…—Humorous, analytical …. I choose humorous, but I am not sure.
    The attitude show in the ()about red light: nonchalant, indignation, forbearing…</p>

<p>@iamchris - yes</p>

<p>@boomroasted - I also put generational… but I wasn’t sure</p>

<p>

I had this test.</p>

<p>i got all of your answers…besides humorous. i forgot my answer though, but im positive i crossed out humorous.</p>

<p>nonchalant is the answer there though, definately</p>

<p>I found the music one hard because it was.just boring to read :)</p>

<p>@liyixinhua
i put the same answer w/ “dynamic” in it; I forget the other word
I also put make generalizations
I omitted the tone one… really had no idea.
And for the attitude iI put nonchalant.</p>

<p>For the farmhouses, i was battling between that one and choice A… i put choice A, which was something about the view ???</p>

<p>^^ i put that the family was inclusive and flexible…</p>

<p>and i thought author 2’s tone was more judgmental</p>

<p>for attitude i put nonchalant</p>

<p>oh well, who knows</p>

<p>I put total lack of irony or something for the quotation question. I might be totally off base though.</p>

<p>boomroasted </p>

<p>For the parenthesis one, I put that they showed it was more genuine and literal at least that’s what I remember.</p>

<p>was the one for the new farmhouses that the rooms had windows to look at landscape?</p>

<p>oh and the lying question…i put that lying habitually messed up your selfconsciousness</p>
