October 2009 SAT Critical Reading

<p>Also for 39-42 do people remember the questions, option choices? I’m not sure if all of those are “right” although they could be.</p>

<p>Do you guys remember the question, answer options for 6.captious… edifying?</p>

<p>Also 37 question and answer options? Like the list assumes they are correct but we should add notes to it explaining why? 39 to 42 is controversial.</p>

<ol>
<li>I think is misguided. it talked about what the researchers would say to the family.</li>
</ol>

<p>Isn’t 40. Mocking? Jeering? and 41. Wry? the answer choices to the same question?</p>

<p>Also, can someone tell me what the question for 60 was talking about.</p>

<p>Wow I just asked soo many questions. Ha I doubt you guys will answer them.</p>

<p>could someone tell me what the recriminations vocab question was about?</p>

<p>Which passage had the main idea question (I forgot) and what was the correct answer?</p>

<ol>
<li>Nikil… the process of acheiving his goal. (registering and other bureaucratic stuffs… the portion(about line 3~7?) of the first paragraph)</li>
</ol>

<p>Does anyone remember the other items of these following Sentence Completion Questions?
4. Redundancy … frustrations
5. Synthesize … Crystallize
14. Accidental
17. Slapstick
=other items=!</p>

<p>I’m not sure what 47 (on the list) was exactly about. I always thought it was the genius is not specific to a type of people question. I think it might’ve been the last question (main idea?) or the why does the author say there have been no great women painters? Either way it’s vague. </p>

<p>39-42 are all still being debated
39 had something to do with a story made up for entertainment or a story full of stereotypes (?)
40 is down to when the author was talking about the sheep was she mocking the typical biography of an artist or jeering something else (rural life??)
41 is separate from 40 and had to do with the author’s tone when she said something, I thought it was wry too at the time
42 is also totally out there. I think it had to do with Michelangelo’s drawings when his master left him alone and whether that’s analogous to the Giotto’s master’s admiration of Giotto or his discovery of him</p>

<p>So all of these questions people don’t remember well enough or they’re too ambiguous. I think someone found the specific passage somewhere but without the questions we’ll be arguing over a moot point :P</p>

<p>6 had something to do with newspaper journalists and their boss giving them advice that was pretty bad rather than being useful so captious and edifying make most sense?</p>

<p>60 had to do with the dual passage about zen and it asked what the author of passage 1 would think about the author of passage two or something (squandering opportunities)</p>

<p>Woo. I hate the SAT :(</p>

<ol>
<li>surprised the work is finished? (name change , so much work is no work</li>
</ol>

<p>^ really? I thought it was another choice, don’t remember which one though :(</p>

<p>I think the only passage I got owned by was the native american passage. But I’m pretty sure it wasn’t one of the ones that have been narrowed down…i forgot what i put exactly but i was fairly certain I reasoned it out well. Can anyone remember the answer choices?</p>

<ol>
<li>surprised the work is finished? (name change , so much work is no work</li>
</ol>

<p>^ I got this. when i read the question, the answer i filled in in my head was that he was surprised that it was fairly easy to accomplish.</p>

<p>^andie1059
You said you “thought it was wry too at the time”. So what do believe is the answer now?</p>

<p>can anyone tell me what are the answers to the last three questions of the last CR section about women, aristocrat and artists by using ABCDE ? coz i just cannot remember the exact answers</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the other items of these following Sentence Completion Questions?
4. Redundancy … frustrations
5. Synthesize … Crystallize
14. Accidental
17. Slapstick
=other items=Please!</p>

<p>Was “explain a reaction”, for the girl who wanted to be a publisher, answer choice C or E?</p>

<p>I put something like “to show model examples”. Can’t rmb the actual words.</p>
