October 2009 SAT Critical Reading

<p>How the hell did this reach 100 pages?</p>

<p>^congratulations, you have made it 101</p>

<p>cuz those were right. lol</p>

<p><strong><em>do not argue with me</em></strong> </p>

<p>I SERIOUSLY BEG TO DIFFER</p>

<p>haha you’re just a rebel…</p>

<p>HEY!</p>

<p>we already did this once Fresh101. You wanna go again?!?!?! HUH!?!?!?!</p>

<p>The couple of controversial questions are gonna decide whether I get <2300 or >2300 so I’m worried.</p>

<p>and why is it that those who argue in favor of “discovery” almost always argue in favor of “artificially enhanced”?</p>

<p>That’s interesting to me…</p>

<p>and I don’t want to hear “intelligence”</p>

<p>lol maybe Great minds think alike?</p>

<p>jk</p>

<p>i had discovery and immediately understandable</p>

<p>HEY!</p>

<p>we already did this once Fresh101. You wanna go again?!?!?! HUH!?!?!?! </p>

<p>BRING IT!!!</p>

<p>BRING IT!!!</p>

<p>So for the “immediately apparent” question I’m right (“artificially enhanced” is wrong)</p>

<p>Ready for some deffinitions?</p>

<p>aparent-capable of being easily perceived or understood; plain or clear; obvious; readily understood.</p>

<p>interpret-the rendering… as to bring out the meaning.</p>

<p>So wouldn’t it make sense to say that if something is available to instant interpretation (or, from the deffinition, the meaning can easily be “brought out”) then it is readily understood? Yes. Those two words are VERY similar and have strong connection.</p>

<p>enhance-to raise to a higher degree; intensify; magnify</p>

<p>Flattening the images did nothing to enhance them. As someone said WAY back, the connection between enhanced and flattened is much weaker than the connection between apparent and interpretation.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure I got it right.</p>

<p>in other words (yeah, yeah I know… do I have nothing better to do?)</p>

<p>if something is instantly interpreted (i.e., something is instantly assigned a meaning), then it is certainly immediately “capable of being understood” (deffinition of apparent).</p>

<p>as for the “admiration”, “discovery” one (im on a ROLL!)</p>

<p>I think they both have merit. It’s hard to deny that “he’s better than I am” shows some degree of admiration (it does!). So taking just that line (which is what the question asked) it seems hard to deny that admiration works, especially given that Michaelangelo was already a student who, for all we know, had already been discovered.</p>

<p>Let’s pretend for a second that Michaelangelo had already been “discovered” (ie, his teacher already knew how good he was). Does this prohibit him from saying “he knows more than I do” out of admiration? No. But does that mean he’s discovering Michaelangelo? No, he already has. The passage never really specified.</p>

<p>However, I’m less convinved of this one… we’ll see.</p>

<p>^there’s just one issue with all the questions you are talking about. </p>

<p>I DIDNT TAKE THE OCTOBER SAT’s!!! I only responded to the one writing question that you put up because it was in complete sentence form so i could understand it.</p>

<p>The entire SAT’s not even 101 pages!!!</p>

<p>awwwwww…</p>

<p>the whole “I SERIOUSLY BEG TO DIFFER” thing…</p>

<p>you weren’t even being partially seroius. </p>

<p>oh well, I at least convinced myself of the “immediately apparent” answer. It’s right folks! No more doubt in my mind. That’s as clear as day.</p>

<p>Haha, I can’t believe people are still posting here almost one day before results come out.</p>

<p>lol i said discovery and immediately understandable.</p>

<p>@stix2400
i too admit that discovery and admiration are a close call.</p>

<p>for support of discovery, i’ll reference the previous arguments of the teacher’s leaving the room and returning, to discover Michelangelo’s unexpected talent - hence “discovery”</p>

<p>further, the Giotto bit stated that the travelling master admired Giotto’s REALISM (or other form, not 100% sure), not that the master admired Giotto himself. There’s a difference between admiring a person’s work and the person himself (the answer said “admiration of Giotto”). For example, you could admire Wagner’s music, but not be a fan of the person himself, ie his characteristics or personal life. You could admire JFK’s speeches and rhetoric but still not admire the person himself - for example, his purportedly promiscuous actions.</p>

<p>lol the discovery admiration question is toooo confusing</p>

<p>Im really interested to see who is right on Thursday (I put discovery)</p>

<p>We’re 30 hrs away from scores. Arguing now is just going to make them go by slower.</p>
