October 2009 SAT Critical Reading

<p>Definitely worth the effort to obtain; its talking about how people spend so much time on things that they think are worth it – diplomas, cars, and houses.</p>

<p>Definately worth effort to be obtain.</p>

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

<p>yeah, that’s what i said. i know the passage said that, but i wasn’t sure if that’s what the last sentence specifically implied. it probably did, though. thanks!</p>

<p>The question didn’t ask about pictures. I’m not even sure if there were assigned line numbers.</p>

<p>Stix I agree about the ceremonial texts; I put E also, as the study clearly refutes the claim that the repetition aids in memorization.</p>

<p>lemonio:</p>

<p>The passage used the actual word “admiration” in describing the story of Giotto. You must have missed that.</p>

<p>“it was primitive, but nevertheless very good for a unschooled boy his age”
where did it say that?
i remember it saying that he was extremely impressed by how realistic the drawing was.</p>

<p>I said the texts were important because they wouldnt forget when they were doing something important</p>

<p>It’s okay; Lemonio obviously proved his point unequivocally. I’m convinced.</p>

<p>@intangiblegator: that’s correct.</p>

<p>what was the answer to the question about the paradoxical statement about work in the Namesake paragraph (AKA Nikhil/Gogol)?</p>

<p>does anyone know the answer to the question about the sheep story thing being a ‘fabricated story for entertainment’…i forgot the other answers</p>

<p>questionmark: Im with you dawg, i put b description of moon or something. I dont think the author is trying to make a point about ‘pictures’</p>

<p>Wait–what was the answer for the uses of Native American Texts? I got something like, the texts are traditional, since the other choices didn’t seem right… I was going to choose D (domething with everyday), but wasn’t sure. What’d you get?</p>

<p>The passages were ok this time, but the vocab was deadly!</p>

<p>it was steryotype not fabricated story
she suggests that this story was true…but that it was told in a steryotyped way</p>

<p>she never openly said that it was false</p>

<p>In the nap passage, was the answer to one of the questions something about how a view is shared by many cultures or somethign along those lines?</p>

<p>i said that those things were things that required lots of effort</p>

<p>and that repetition in ceremonial texts were NOT an aid to memorization (almost positive about this one)</p>

<p>Lemonio, you didn’t need to type that out. They’d find out they were wrong in 2 weeks anyway haha.</p>

<p>Lemonio</p>

<p>the phrase “or something like that” in your message proves that you don’t remember the actual textual support. I remember reading it and being CERTAIN that it was immediatly apparent. artifically inhanced is just overthinking the question.</p>

<p>I’m telling you, it’s immediately apparent.</p>
