October 2009 SAT Critical Reading

<ol>
<li>Novelty and diversity? (Space Atlas prompt, they asked why the author chose to use a long list of words to describe the book. “Here were…”)</li>
</ol>

<p>Can anyone give me other answer choices to this problem, and the wording of the exact problem?</p>

<p>Hey whadup SNOOPY
I just wanted to tell you that I had the same answer for the native american one because we are looking for inference from merely the last sentence
the last sentence describes not the nature of memorization (which disproves A, which states the understanding of the book requires complex memorization)
some people are saying that its E because it connotes that memorization does not require repetition, but throughout the passage I think it states that memorization implicated a complexity beginning in childhood.</p>

<p>so im not sure</p>

<p>What was the iceberg referring to?</p>

<p>I chose the rigidity of social structures or something…</p>

<ol>
<li>Slip
—>wasn’t this momentarily forget or something??</li>
</ol>

<p>parallel structure was long passage about name change and how with his new name he talked to girls and he went to New York and something like that.</p>

<p>Listening to a similar song is passage. It’s one of those questions that asks to compare between the subject of the passage and something completely outside the passage.</p>

<p>for number 23.
i’m fairly certain it wasn’t the involuntary one.</p>

<p>^I chose the answer that said ceremonial texts were full of hard-to-understand stuff (don’t remember exactly what it was)</p>

<p>parallel structure I don’t remember the context but there were like 3 sentenced starting with. Here is</p>

<p>Singer music was the Mercator one</p>

<p>Tip of the iceberg was about female artists. It was something that meant lot of information. Don’t remember exact</p>

<p>for the discovery vs admiration one.
it is crucial that you examine ONLY the specified material…not an OVERALL perception of the entire passage.</p>

<p>I posted the questions of one of the passages but somehow u guys just dont answer them!</p>

<p>Another passage u guys didnt discuss was with the marriage between this girl an artist had met, but this is strongly opposed by the girl’s parents and her friends, who found it to be “apathetic” (I think this was an answer to one of the choices)</p>

<p>Oh yeah about how reading the atlas was like a singer reading songs he already knew.</p>

<p>@Gameovernoobs</p>

<p>I think that was the dummy section. I had an experimental section in writing, and I didn’t see any passage concerning the marriage and artists stuff…</p>

<p>Gamer I think that’s experimental…</p>

<p>Hey USERs.
What was the answer for slip, wasn’t this momentarily forget or something??</p>

<p>I still think it’s discovery. When you read the discovery of Giotto’s independent growth of art (when he works in the field) section you get the same feel from the teaher as when you read about the teacher’s reaction to Giotto’s independently growth in the studio.</p>

<p>The questions of the MARRIAGE B/T ARTIST AND GIRL include the previous posts from page 60 and the following:
How did the girl’s friend view the “long-something-something”?
A)Suspicious
B)Apathetic
C) Fear
D) Outrage
E) I always forget this one dont I?
not in order</p>

<p>yeaap. i chose the complicated stuff engraved into the children at youth or w/e.</p>

<p>gahh. i hope its admiration :[</p>

<p>@yh8, slip=mistake</p>

<p>It must be discovery not admiration!!! I spent 3-minutes-left time to solve the question!!! At first i chose the admiration but i thought it was a trap so I read the relevant portion again! It must be discovery!! :'(</p>
