October 2009 SAT Critical Reading

<p>Ugh. Partial acceptance.</p>

<p>It was talking about pictures and it is 110% immediately understandable. I think I put N + D</p>

<p>does anybody rmr the question about zen guy which said something bout like the author presents stuff like getting the diploma, working for a house, car, etc.?</p>

<p>yeah, the text said the images could be “instantly interpreted,” if i remember correctly.</p>

<p>i think someone asked this question earlier, but i didn’t see it answered - what did you guys put for the second (last) question on the short native american passages, about what the last sentence indicated about the ceremonial texts?</p>

<p>also: on the geologist passage, what did you guys put for the one asking about lines 43-44? the lines said something about how geologists study the earth not as a uniform object but as something with lots of layers… and the moon (started with a T) in comparison was like an entire universe to a geologist. the choices were that the author is: trying to persuade the readers that geology is worthwhile; showing the personal satisfaction obtainable from geology; amazed at how scientists can study things beyond the earth… and i can’t remember what else.</p>

<p>Thank you Alias and queston mark.</p>

<p>For the Nikhail passage one answer was that</p>

<p>the parents viewed some professions are more prestigious than others</p>

<p>Confirm?</p>

<p>the two native american things were describing a process and importance in everyday life…</p>

<p>@intangiblegator</p>

<p>yep</p>

<p>I said that the diploma, car, and house were things that people thought were worth the effort to obtain (E).</p>

<p>Did anyone NOT put novelty and diversity and put B instead?</p>

<p>Native American repetitive texts thing…it was talking about how the reason their texts are repitive is not because of memorization or whatever.</p>

<p>The passage definitely refuted the claim that repitition in ceremonial rituals served as a memorizational tool.</p>

<p>agree with jb and intang</p>

<p>@ jb</p>

<p>Second that</p>

<p>For the diploma, cars, jobs one, I said they were things that people “assume they will eventually get”…</p>

<p>I was trying to decide between that one and “worth the effort to obtain”.</p>

<p>I put Native American ceremonies were important too</p>

<p>vrushank93</p>

<p>the question asked though was “what can you infer about ceremonial TEXTS”</p>

<p>so clearly the texts themselves weren’t useful in everyday life because native americans didn’t need to read them. </p>

<p>I put an answer like the “repititon is not included to aid in memory” or something like that. choice E</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>For the last question on that passage, I put that it was talking about how important Native American texts were in Native American’s lives.</p>

<p>i will now prove why immediatly apparent and cimabue’s admiration are wrong</p>

<p>the geologist thing discussed how the faces of the planets were portrayed by the map things</p>

<p>there was a line saying something like, they were “instantly visible” or something like that</p>

<p>however, the features could not be “immediatly apparent” immediate is in the “hard to prove realm of generalization”
lol
you would need to study the diagrams before understanding them
furthermore, after the lines with the faces/features of the planets, the author only discussed the computer generated maps and how they made the images of the planets easier to understand
thus artificially enhanced is correct not immediatly understandable</p>

<p>for admiration
first of all, cimabue didn’t admire giotto drawing on the rock
it was primitive, but nevertheless very good for a unschooled boy his age
furthermore, michelangelo was only a mere apprentice</p>

<p>the point was that both people discovered their skill
admiration does not include discovery, and the point of including both those stories, was to illustrate the “amazing skill discovered in humble beginnings”
if admiration was the answer, it would not be necessary for the masters of those artists to do the admiring
it could be anyone
but the point was that they found out about these artists skill
thus answer was discovery not admiration</p>

<p>I thought the geologists studying the Earth question was demonstrating how many features geologists study in the Earth…</p>
