October 2009 SAT Critical Reading

<p>why is satirizing wrong?</p>

<p>Anybody remember the answer to the sentence completion that was repetition and euphemism?</p>

<p>I think i put easily understandable. Check the previous posts.</p>

<p>Never mind, wrong question</p>

<p>However, the fact that the images were computer-enhanced served no major purpose in delivering the author’s point; he makes the point that they were so fascinating because they weren’t arcane or impenetrable, but easily analyzed and “immediately understandable.” Artificially enhanced pertains to the pictures but not to the story or the tone as a whole.</p>

<p>

redundant, frustration</p>

<p>damn. Thanks anyways. I knew I should have put that.</p>

<p>“I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired.” – definitely redundancy.</p>

<p>Did anyone have anything about instant messaging impacting writing ability?</p>

<p>Redundancy.</p>

<p>mmediately understandable?? … but that doesnt make sense… how ? he was an expert on those typse of things… cause he formed part of the early crew.</p>

<p>how is satirizing wrong? why mocking?</p>

<p>Why would she satirize farm life hahaha?</p>

<p>There are 32 pages of discussion about why mocking is correct; I suggest that you skim.</p>

<p>immediately understandable</p>

<p>the answer was right there in the passage. the quote was almost exactly “immediately understandable”</p>

<p>that answer is straightforward and direct. it’s correct.</p>

<p>i also put admiration for the artist thing.</p>

<p>want to learn a new word guys? </p>

<p>im salty i missed so many</p>

<p>Actually jb, the question asked about the book, not the Mercator. That is why it is artificially enhanced. In the beginning of the passage, he says that he was unable to absorb everything in the book because its information encompasses that of the whole “universe.”</p>

<p>Even if it were in the passage, you were tricked by the fact that it referred to the Mercator, while the question referred to the book itself.</p>

<p>Idk I’d still say satirizing because it was directly referencing the rural lifestyle that was so common in the origins of artists, but I can see how mocking could be right. It depends on what scale on which you interpret it IMO</p>

<p>Was the zen passage answer complete agreement or partial acceptance? I said complete.</p>

<p>it doesn’t matter what it says at the beginning of the passage, unfortunately. you always can get the answers from the line #s it gives you.</p>

<p>I’m 100% sure it’s immediately understandable. Also IIRC, it was talking about the pictures, not the book.</p>

<p>edit: primz, complete</p>

<p>Complete agreement.</p>

<p>Novelty + Diversity? or description about satellites?</p>
