October 2009 SAT Critical Reading

<p>I seemed to put similar ones to you guys. But what were the answers to the last two of the one on art and women? For the second last one that related aristocracy to women, I put down the answer that mentioned something about commitment. Can’t remember what I put for the last one.</p>

<p>polymath was right.</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
recrimination
hobble
grounded in
independence</p>

<p>Polymath not pundit!!!</p>

<p>yeah it was independence. the daughter wasn’t expressly frugal-maybe she makes a ton of money at her job or is in credit card debt-she just refused her parents’ money aka she is independent. and polymath. I have no idea what it means but poly=many and he was involved with many different professions.</p>

<p>Sweet. Got polymath right too. I’m looking at 1 omit and 2 or 3 wrong hopefully.</p>

<p>even allowed to do this?
I am just curious but anyways go on.</p>

<p>it didn’t say she was independent either. maybe she is dependent on her boyfriend or something, lol.</p>

<p>but,</p>

<p>dictionary dot com defines frugal as “requiring few resources” so maybe it’s frugal? i bombed this SAT again.</p>

<p>The vocab was pretty brutal, in my opinion. But it’s not really like I studied for sentence completion anyway. The reading comprehension questions were pretty easy though.</p>

<p>It has been done for nearly every exam over the past few years. So, yes.</p>

<p>protagonist: good question, anyone?</p>

<p>I agree with chair2.</p>

<p>Wait, are we allowed to discuss questions? If not, when are we allowed?</p>

<p>Hey for Crit Reading did anyone get a section about a writer who didn’t really want to write her mother a book?</p>

<p>key words: megaphones, Rose, etc</p>

<p>There’s usually an “embargo” for discussing the SAT, but this one was lifted by a mod already.</p>

<p>No, krns, I didnt’ get that.</p>

<p>^ mother wanting daughter to write book was experimental, as was the writing section that talked about clarinets.</p>

<p>At all, our discussions don’t make any harm, right? The textbooks of different test dates are never alike</p>

<p>oh thank God. I effed that one up pretty badly. =)</p>

<p>Thanks god I got an 800 on this in June, there were two vocab questions that I straight up didn’t know.</p>

<p>I think the answer is the ‘discovery’ of Giotto(i can’t remember the boy’s name) not the admiration… </p>

<p>the context was like this :
Giotto the pastoral boy…he was DISCOVERED by an artist,
who ADMIRED THE REALISM OF THE DRAWING(not admiring the BOY) </p>

<p>but even if such pastoral conditions were not involved, … the talent just demonstrates itself…
and the example of Michallengelo…</p>

<p>when the master was gone, he did very well, and the master was surprised </p>

<ul>
<li>so there is a parallelism in the context -> </li>
</ul>

<p>Discovery of the pastoral boy’s talent : Discovery of Michallengelo’s hidden talent… </p>

<p>so isn’t it right, the discovery? </p>

<p>( i think admiration is wrong because the choice said “the admiration FOR GIOTTO”. this is wrong, because the artist admired the REALISM not THE BOY a person)</p>

<p>What did everyone get for the sentence completion about journalistic skills?</p>

<p>I got something and edifying. I forgot the first word.
And Metis was a satellite, right?</p>
