November SAT discussions (international)

<p>@christineekim: I have to disagree with you on the authority answer. I recall the sentence in the passage was “Cats don’t rent, they own”, it is (often) said. So there’s no clear mention of whether it’s from an authority or not. It was this reason that I chose the metaphor one instead of your choice after I narrowed it down to 2.</p>

<p>Also, the perplexing one was the very first question: (something about) science was (perplexing), (some thing about the data or experiments that back up this perplexity).</p>

<p>@mcpheevn
oh I see… but I don’t see how the term can be a metaphor?? (I actually narrowed it down to those two as well lol)</p>

<p>@mcpheevn
Oh and what do you think about my other answers?</p>

<p>christineekim, these are not my answers. I got most of them from an another thread. The question with perplexing was, I think, the first question on the first CR section which said sth like: something is perplexing because it is so hard to explain.</p>

<p>I don’t remember the one with controversy right now. </p>

<p>I’m not sure about the metaphor question but I thought lions were written of as if they were humans, so I chose the metaphor choice.</p>

<p>Mark Twain could have been interpreted like that but I thought pertinent remark was more to the point.</p>

<p>The Indian writer didn’t talk about it because it was uncomfortable but all those topics he didn’t talk about were very important.</p>

<p>The qualify answer must be correct. An alternate meaning of “qualify” is to limit.
Definition says:
make (a statement or assertion) less absolute
So the words possibly and probably made the statements less absolute.</p>

<p>btw, does anyone remember the two paragraph improving parts? One was with migratory birds and the other I can’t remember.</p>

<p>It was the beachcombing thing.</p>

<p>oh, now I remember. Do you remember whether the question with
students flocking around the teacher to ask question for which there had not been enough time in class was in the first writing or the second?</p>

<p>I’m not too sure but i think it’s in the 1st (don’t count on me though). Was the error on had not?</p>

<p>Could someone please give me an idea of which SC contained the answer “superficial/compromising?”</p>

<p>It was the last SC on my last CR section I think. It said something like:
Rather than being superficial blabla is a critical</p>

<p>Hey guys,did u remember the last WR question in the 10th section…what do u thinkg
She not only blablablabla but also …</p>

<p>Thanks Bilgunn!On that one i think i chose the answer that didn’t have the word direct in it.</p>

<p>I think it was she not only conducted x y and z but also managed the (something).
I chose not only conducted x y and z but also … choice.</p>

<p>I wavered between this choice and the one which said
not only conducted x y and directed z but also managed
but I though it lacked parallelism.</p>

<p>Ok… once again the math Q that no one answered to</p>

<p>on the xy plane with the triangle, did everyone say</p>

<p>(8,4) or (7,4)?</p>

<p>i don’t remember if the two same sides were the base and the left one</p>

<p>or the left and the right one</p>

<p>Does anyone remember this W question about how (a guy name) tried to compose opera throughout his career but was not as successful as his contemporaries. What was the error?</p>

<p>Another one would be one started with ‘For those who lived in the early 1920s’ or sth like that. What’s the error?</p>

<p>btw, I think the question with superficial said something about diligence.
"Rather than being superficial quality, diligence is a critical " and then something about people getting lazy</p>

<p>The two provided points form the left side of the triangle
Its .(5, something)</p>

<p>.(2,4) .(x,y)</p>

<p>@impetuous
I put (8,4) on that one.</p>

<p>@mcpheevn
I chose D for thw 1920 question, because I thought it should have been “a model of what a sitcom should be like” but my answer is prolly wrong.</p>

<p>On the question with contemporaries the error was that the guy’s works were compared to his contemporaries; his works should have been compared with contemporaries’ works.</p>

<p>Oh yes I remember about the diligence thing. Hah!</p>

<p>I didn’t know it was compared with (always thought it was compared to). Oh wells, jokes on me for not memorizing idioms.</p>
