<p>i agree with you hugedilemma i almost had three Es too at the end but then i changed it to E A E but not sure.
2 was If doctors could read minds (as well as) they read x-rays and… this one i dont know if it is error or not
3 was John (suggested to look) …ok i can’t remember this one but i know this one DOES have an error because suggested to is incorrect
what about number 1? had begun is that wrong?</p>
<p>take this sentence for example: if you could do as well as he does then you could receive more compliments. hmmm…</p>
<p>suggested “looking”
my NE was the scandals question of the 20th century
and for teh doctors I think I chose B (they would have. its awkward kidna)</p>
<p>I dont think they would have is not that akward. How many NEs did you have cod4vsut3?</p>
<p>for the earlier/sooner debate, does SAT even test such a thing? i mean, I can’t think of a component that would fit under.</p>
<p>just to let you guys know, I bubbled in ‘sooner’ as the error.</p>
<p>Well, it something about being too detached, and all the other answers said that was good. And market and fairs seemed like a rural thing, so…</p>
<p>1) The quotation marks indicated that the word ‘suspicion’ was being used in an unsual manner, as it has a negative connotation.
2) It couldn’t have been ‘the euphoria he felt when he returned home’, for there are a number of marks in the passage that indicate he had never been there before, specifically his inability to describe the place. However, the passage did indicate it was ‘something he had never experienced before’, which would be the answer.
3) The answer is was that he was ‘expecting someone visibly aging’. This is hinted by his narration of how he was surprised when he saw the ladies the first time, because they seemed in perfect health.
4) Intense pleasure is correct. For those thinking ‘escalating tension’ was the answer, not only is it paradoxical seeing as the narrator describes the place as ‘paradise’, but also tension implies some sort of emotional strain/stress, which is clearly the opposite of the man’s state of mind.
5) The narrator wanted to think of something ‘light’ to say. Not in the literal sense, of course, the closest answer to it is ‘gentle’, not trivial. Light implies the contrary of dark, gloomy; something light-toned/pale is gentle, soft. (light)
6) This one was rather awkward, seeing as both choices “Self-mocking” and “Half-hearted humour” are similar. However, the correct one should be self-mocking, as the lady was trying to make herself appear silly in order to appeal to the man, and show her humorous attitude.
7) The passage describes the laughter as it ‘circled them’, which is a personification, given that it insinuates it can move. It was** ‘living thing’.**
8) Confrontational relationship is correct. The stories the man’s wife had told him made him assume the woman he was about to meet was a statuesque and imposing woman, strong and forceful - this hints a confrontational personality.
9) The transition was indeed generic to specific, as the narrator goes from describing the entire place’s atmosphere and ambience, to how he felt about meeting the wife’s aunts.
10) It wasn’t statuesque nor frail, these were trick answers. The man was hoping her to be tall, as he assumed by the stories his wife told him that portrayed her as imposing and strong, and even though she is described as only a ‘5 foot tall’ lady, it is clear she is not frail as implied by the description of the handshake, “strong”. Answer was forceful and direct.</p>
<p>Have you taken the test before? You seem like THIS is the CORRECT, 100% SURE answer</p>
<p>@post 430: as well as can also mean: if i could do that job as well as he does it…that wouldnt be wrong would it?</p>
<p>CR - answered 55 questions and -4
MATH - left blank 3 and -2
Writing : essay 10-11, and - 10 to - 14</p>
<p>what do you think my scores will be like ?</p>
<p>everyone is saying that they bubbled in "sooner.
but the question itself said “earlier.”</p>
<p>^LOL. what kind of a statement is that?. everyone versus one person?</p>
<p>The “scandals of the 20th century” grammar question DEFINITELY had an error. I don’t remember, but there was something about past-present agreement, which made it sound like we were still in the 20th century. Think the choice was B?</p>
<p>Guys does anyone rememebr anything in the pargraph improvement?
the first question was what was the purpose of sentence 1
i was mixed up between “to inform his sources for the love of the author” “or to show his dislike for reading for that author” i chose the first since the sentence talks about his teacher who introduced him to the author… correct?</p>
<p>Yes, the answer was to introduce the source of his love for the author. If you remember, at first when the teacher made them read the book he had never heard of Octavia Butler and didn’t think he would like the book. It was that BOOK that made him start to like the author.</p>
<p>When do we get our results? Do we get them the same time as the test takers in the US?</p>
<p>yea on november 23…</p>
<p>@lauralei
I don’t agree on gentle. He wasn’t trying to say something contrary to “dark”, he just couldn’t say anything LIGHT-HEARTED or CASUAL in such an emotional situation. The closest word would be trivial.</p>
<p>I also don’t agree on the laughter being a living thing, as the passage actually stated that the laughter seemed to wait for him. The best answer would be tentative.</p>
<p>guys what was the question for the one whose answer was 55</p>
<p>was 18 an answer to any of the questions for the value of x??</p>
