<p>elegant=appealing to the eyes and I don’t think the author described enjoying life as that</p>
<p>your answer doesn’t seem to match because the sentence just shows what the girls did; it wasn’t criticizing anyone. “Explain a reaction” does sound better, but I have to say it was hard and probably a level 4/5 question</p>
<p>For the Nikhil/Gogol question about how does Gogol feel when people call him Nikhil, was it “it felt unnatural for them to use that name” or “he wasn’t used to people calling him that name”
I couldn’t decide between the two. They both seem equally good.</p>
<p>anyone remember number 17 on the women art section ?
the genius question</p>
<p>i’m pretty sure the answer was egalitarian, not tyrannical. the question ended, stating that the country became a more true democracy. Egalitarian is a communist type of nation but not completely democratic. tyrannical is too strong.</p>
<p>It did not say it became more of a democracy, but simply a democracy. It makes no sense to say that the nation long struggled to become a democracy from an egalitarian state. Egalitarian has positive connotations while tyranny does not.</p>
<p>Besides, tyranny is basically the antithesis of democracy, which is what the question was looking for.</p>
<p>the SAT never asks for a “more ____” definition… they either state the definition in the sentence, or state that it is the opposite of something…</p>
<p>he used to be _____ at basketball, but now he’s great.</p>
<p>a) good
b) bad</p>
<p>of course they both make sense, but the SAT would want answer B.</p>
<p>tyranny is right. that’s at best a level 3 question.</p>
<p>ok w/e. find the question but im pretty sure it said more true democracy…</p>
<p>it was like the 2nd question in the set of sentence completions.</p>
<p>those aren’t ever hard. </p>
<p>egaltarian is probably too tough a word for that question anyway.</p>
<p>but either way, they overcame a tyranny (negative) and replaced it with a democracy (positive).</p>
<p>alright. why would the question say “more TRUE democracy”? the sentence completions don’t have unnecessary information. </p>
<p>and just because it’s 2nd doesnt mean it cant be hard. i had a test once in which the 2nd question was a lvl 4.</p>
<p>it didn’t say more true, it simply said true</p>
<p>egaltarian-Affirming, promoting, or characterized by belief in equal political, economic, social, and civil rights for all people.</p>
<p>democracy-The principles of social equality and respect for the individual within a community.</p>
<p>it doesn’t make sense to say it became a more true democracy if it was egaltarian before.</p>
<p>at least, it isn’t NEARLY as clear as tyrannical, which is the correct answer 100%</p>
<p>skiier,
you see, the thing about vocab questions is that theres no ambiguity involved, either you know the definition or you don’t. besides, the question said that the government was replaced by a TRUE democracy. it doesnt make any sense to say that an egalitarian (meaning fair) government was overthrown for a “more fair” government.</p>
<p>trust me, totalitarian is 100 percent correct</p>
<p>Freakchild - It was the “unnatural” answer. The story lead me to beleive that it had been a long time since he changed his name. So seeing as how it is months into having a new name he would be used to being called nikhil, however even though he was used to being call Nikhil it was unnatural for his parents to call him Nikhil.</p>
<p>well egalitarian is a communist way of rule. it’s socialism and it is not a form of democracy. it is close to democracy though. that is why i put egalitarian because the question would then say “the egalitarian government is replaced by a true democracy.” true implying that it was somewhat close to a democracy before.</p>
<p>^Egalitarian means everyone gets equal rights and opportunities (which are essential in a successful democracy). It has nothing to do with communism.</p>
<p>It was def tyrannical</p>
<p>Everyone who keeps thinking it is still Egalitarian is wrong - sure it /might/ work but CB wants the BEST answer</p>
<p>skiier, a democratic country needs not necessarily be capitalistic. Capitalism, not democracy, is the antithesis of socialism. You’re confusing your terms.</p>
<p>mabsjenbu123- tell that to the writing section lol. they’re going hysterical about the bartholomew question…</p>
