October 2009 SAT Critical Reading

<p>Yeah, I did put “inquisitive”. Still confused by that question</p>

<p>Holy **** I think I said accusatory or something for the tone. Oops.</p>

<p>Was the line the question was referring to about all artists coming with flocks of sheep? Or was that for the mocking question?</p>

<p>a confirmed answers list?:
Chart?
Entranced…lexicon?
Compliant?
Wry?
Admiration?
Inhospitable
Mocking? Or jeering?
slapstick
immediately understandable
full time endeavor?
women and aristocrat’s social position?
rustic circumstances?</p>

<p>add to the list or confirm</p>

<p>its wry because that line reference (I think 25/26/27-ish) was just a presumptuous (hehe) remark on behalf of the art prof. she’s like “oh what a coincidence that they are so similar in respective bkgrds” (sarcasm intended)</p>

<p>i think immediatly apparent is incorrect
immediatly is too absolute!
plus he spent the whole next paragraph talking about the artificial maps</p>

<p>@Fishnat: How could you relate to “accusatory”? That tone had nothing to do with the passage</p>

<p>It was definitely wry. She was being sarcastic, not inquisitive/curious (it wasn’t a rhetorical question)</p>

<p>@finalcut10 jeering at blahblachblah</p>

<p>Isn’t she 'puzzled by the coincident?</p>

<p>Why “full-time endeavour”?</p>

<p>Holy **** I think I said accusatory or something for the tone. Oops. </p>

<p>I did that too. I don’t even know why I picked that; I was just so out of it.</p>

<p>Exactly. The lines that were referenced spoke about the artificial maps. </p>

<p>She was not trying to be dryly humorous. She was merely pondering.</p>

<p>Chart
Entranced…lexicon
Compliant
Wry?
Admiration
Inhospitable
Mocking? Or jeering?
slapstick
immediately understandable
full time endeavor
women and aristocrat’s social position
rustic circumstances</p>

<p>except for the ones with question marks, I’m pretty sure the answers are correct.</p>

<p>Agreed… wry for sure.
Also it was mocking not jeering.
and it was DEFINITELY admiration because they referenced a specific quote of his mentor that was like “he knows more than I do.”</p>

<p>does anyone remember the one about criticisms?
was it something and inapt?</p>

<p>napping was not experimental; I had math experimental and I had napping.</p>

<p>@Lemonio In the passage, the geologist said that the Mercator is easily understandable, therefore immediately apparent. Where’d you get artificial?.. its not supported by the passage.</p>

<p>Hey. Why “full-time endeavour” anyway? And I did not remember any answer like “women and aristocrats’ social position”, just “financial…” (aaarg, cannot remember the missing words)</p>

<p>One sentence completion involved “stilted” (which was correct).</p>

<p>another involved campers (or something) who were lightly mocking each other, however this turned into _____. </p>

<p>what was the answer to the second one and which was was experimental?</p>

<p>It cannot be a full time endeavor. That was not even the topic of the passage. The answer was the social one.</p>

<p>baolong: you mean financial incentives?</p>
