October 2010 CR SAT Thread

<p>I confirm that circumspect and erroneous aren’t experimental for the third time. Lmao. I got that as an answer.</p>

<p>I have no memory of this question. What were the other answer choices?</p>

<p>(directed at altamash)</p>

<p>how do you quote other people like you harambee, and yes i second you harambee</p>

<p>Another choice was assiduous MW2.</p>

<p>Btw was it just me or do the grid ins always have 5 blanks and now they have 4? Idk I could be talking out of my ass lmao</p>

<p>For a SC question, I put ‘medium’ for the spray paint/artist question. I don’t know the other part to it though. Was this question experimental?</p>

<p>Does anyone remember putting “taking different positions on an issue” as an answer for the rewild passage?</p>

<p>@Sensei: I had an experimental passage about a girl on her tenth birthday, but I don’t remember a spray paint/artist question.</p>

<p>im assuming the sunday sat is entirely different?
can someone verify that please</p>

<p>If it’s not gshak, I would kill myself lmao</p>

<p>does anyone remember the question to which the answer is “thriving?”</p>

<p>I saw that on consolidated answers and nothing comes to mind, which is worrying me.</p>

<p>in the 2 rewiliding passages… what did the “questions in both passages signify?” that the authors still did not know the answers to some questions?</p>

<p>

I think it was something along the lines of:
despite the hostile environment, the 100 black rhinos are _________.</p>

<p>@Matti: I said that the authors use questions to raise doubts regarding their opposition.</p>

<p>Thank you very much, Harambee, I put that :)</p>

<p>^I also put that</p>

<p>what was the death paucity question? i cant remember that one. I also cant remember the circumspect one.</p>

<p>I second that, gunshot.</p>

<p>And now for the other one I think I missed:</p>

<p>That question about “Whom could it offend?”</p>

<p>The top two in everyone’s mind appear to be “virtually nobody” (or something to that effect) and “discerning viewers” (again, something to that effect). I chose “people who hate musicals”. </p>

<p>Here’s a link to the article:</p>

<p>[Sontag</a> & Kael: opposites attract me - Google Books](<a href=“Sontag and Kael: Opposites Attract Me - Craig Seligman - Google Books”>Sontag and Kael: Opposites Attract Me - Craig Seligman - Google Books)</p>

<p>Kael seems to be suggesting that the audience who is offended by “The Sound of Music” must have the following criteria:</p>

<ul>
<li>Must realize they are being manipulated</li>
<li>Must hate the fact that their emotions are being manipulated in the way in which “The Sound of Music” manipulates emotions</li>
</ul>

<p>The author also notes that movies like “The Sound of Music” manipulate everyone’s emotions in a POSITIVE way.</p>

<p>Thus, this group of people must hate movies that create an artificial sense of happiness/love/whatever. Since “The Sound of Music” falls into this category and is a musical, and since musicals in general seem to have this effect (they’re all “fake”, as nobody bursts into fully-rehearsed and choreographed song and dance in real life), it logically follows that this group of people is the group of people that hate musicals.</p>

<p>I recognize that my support is a bit weak. The passage never explicitly says that “The Sound of Music” is a musical (instead, the footnote says it’s a movie about an Austrian musical troupe or something to that effect), and the author never says that all musicals fall into the “fake” category-- that’s my own extrapolation.</p>

<p>However, I don’t see the support for “virtually nobody”, and I think the support for “discerning viewers” lacking, as we’re only looking at a SUBSET of discerning viewers-- those who hate being manipulated in such a way that makes them happy.</p>

<p>I don’t really like any of the answer choices in this case. Meh.</p>
