October 2009 SAT Critical Reading

<p>grounded in, 1 vote</p>

<p>what was the question for grounded in?</p>

<p>can we go over some of the vocab questions?</p>

<p>The first question to the short passage about independence was about why they were talking about other parents’ daughters… I said it was to explain a reaction.</p>

independence?</p>

<p>Was euphemism one of the answers to the sentence completion questions?</p>

<p>EDIT: Anyone have any guesses as to what the curve will look like for the CR? I’m guessing -4=790, -5=770, and -6=760.</p>

<p>That was the aristocracy though, not women. That was not what they had in common. What they had in common was their social status not allowing them to follow art.</p>

<p>^I think that was parallel construction or something like that, pretty sure it wasn’t euphemism</p>

<p>for the passage about the girl who was a publisher to her parents surprise, did you guys get
“to explain a reaction” (as opposed to criticize, which was inferrable, i guess, but you’re not supposed to infer)
“frugality” (as opposed to independence, which was never explicitly mentioned)</p>

<p>I put introduce a transformation and frugality. Please don’t give me two down.</p>

<p>euphemism? I didn’t think so.</p>

<p>no way “frugality” was the right choice. It wasn’t mentioned.</p>

<p>I said explain a reaction and independence. She was not doing what the other daughters were, so her parents were surprised, and she separated herself completely from them which felt disconcerting to the parents.</p>

<p>Yo! anyone put polymath for the ben Franklin question? I hoope it’s right.</p>

<p>something something giving money would tie her down. </p>

<p>the passage explicitly said something like that. the answer was independence</p>

<p>It was independence.</p>

<p>“frugality” was not an answer.</p>

<p>Polymath is “a person of great or varied learning”, which is what I chose as well. It’s right.</p>
