October 2010 CR SAT Thread

<p>I’m pretty sure it was comparison</p>

<p>Why was eclectic better than assiduous?</p>

<p>What were other choices for the illicit one?</p>

<p>Can someone please confirm if “LESS ORNATE” and “WAS NOT UNIQUE” were the same answer??? I chose “was not unique” but do not remember it containing "less ornate…</p>

<p>Anyone remember an answer with “nominative” for the extinction passage?</p>

<p>Yeah the answer was conviction, it was not experimental.</p>

<p>I still think that the answer is “probably not, because lack of documentation”
this is the definition of plausible:
[Plausible</a> - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary](<a href=“http://www.merriam-webster.com/netdict/plausible]Plausible”>http://www.merriam-webster.com/netdict/plausible)</p>

<p>so it appears true, but it probably did not happen. I may be wrong on this, because there are different definitions for plausible in different dictionaries…</p>

<p>“You can lose your country but you will never lose your education” was a conviction. It was one of the short passages.</p>

<p>It wasn’t conviction… His mother was reluctantly conceding the importance. She was not suer enthusiastic, he needed to work to get his point across.</p>

<p>Same jollyb, I chose the one that said less ornate but did not remember was not unique being part of the answer. :P</p>

<p>***? I don’t remember putting conviction or concession. What were the other choices?</p>

<p>Crzygmer is right. The quote was at the beginning of the passage before the conceding part.</p>

<p>Was the short passage one about the mother/daughter and education NOT experimental?</p>

<p>Just my two cents on the undesirable vs inevitable question: If it was inevitable, would the author have spent an entire passage talking about it and how/why we can/should fight it? I have no idea whether or not I got it right, that just seems like a logical approach for me.</p>

<p>& nooblet, you have a good point. Honestly, I think it could go either way, and I’m kind of angry at the collegeboard for making such an ambiguous question. I mean REALLY. :P</p>

<p>Is conceding/rebuttle confirmed?</p>

<p>

yeah, I agree</p>

<p>Does anyone remember an answer with “she was not unique” for the people question with the author*???*</p>

<p>Was the short passage one about the mother/daughter and education NOT experimental?
^It was NOT experimental. I had experimental writing and I had this passage.</p>

<p>

Yes</p>

<p>10chars</p>

<p>the one about the antidote vs stimulant, is stimulant. b/c an antidote is supposed to permanently alleviate your pain but the passage insinuates that he has to keep on coming back, which makes it a stimulant becuase a stimulant temporarily catalyses or improves somehting , in this case it stimulates him to be happy. tell me if i am wrong or thought too deep</p>

<p>i remember putting copious as an answer and being fairly certain of it. and definitely didn’t put unremitting can anyone confirm they were in the same question?</p>

<p>Please… Someone! Tell me the other answer choices to the question with “illicit”</p>
