October 2009 SAT Critical Reading

<p>What did you guys put for the last question on the CR section with the women and aristocrats</p>

<p>Genius is not a quality inherent in certain groups; I agree SkyHigh.</p>

<p>Does anyone recall the sentence completion with hobble in it? I don’t remember selecting hobble.</p>

<p>Michelangelo’s tutor’s admiration for his student lends itself to his remark that Michelangelo was better than him.
Cianbue’s admiration for Giotto leads to his invitation to Giotto to become his pupil. </p>

<p>You used the word admiration both times. It’s admiration.</p>

<p>i put historical speculation, quality inherent in certain groups, </p>

<p>also why isn’t it “articifically enhanced”?</p>

<p>His political opponent wanted to “hobble” his campaign; i.e., cripple or impede his political venture.</p>

<p>“Genius is not a quality inherent in certain groups”; I agree as well.
I put historical speculation</p>

<p>I put interesting thesis for the historical speculation one.</p>

<p>Damnit. now I’m looking at 3 wrong, 1 omit and maybe even 4 wrong.</p>

<p>Tutor’s admiration : Cianbue’s admiration as tutor’s remarks : Cianbue’s invitation. Good thing they took analogies off.</p>

<p>The geologist explicitly states that the features of the oher planets are “able to be immediately interpreted”; immediately understandable is the best answer.</p>

<p>1) Mocking
2) wry</p>

<p>Why historical speculation? I said a novel thesis. She says that alien planets are like an exhausted Earth. She only use history as an introduction, she never actually speculates what might have happened in the past.</p>

<p>For the artist passage, I put mocking conventional biographies on artists…did anyone select that choice as well?</p>

<p>Ch33psh33p: It’s historical speculation because the author wonders what Mercator would have thought.</p>

<p>@sqdwfe: wat were the questions asking for those?</p>
