October 2010 CR SAT Thread

<p>I also picked “introduction into …” on the one about the anecdote.
Usually, aren’t anecdotes supposed to lead into the main points?
I didn’t think it was “reflection on writing” because that is what the author elaborates on later, after he puts in his anecdote.</p>

<p>For the SC question with the answer retiring…penchant, does any1 remember the other answer choices? I know diffident…aversion is one, but I think picked a different one. O_O</p>

<p>90 pages of arguing about stimulant versus antidote?!?!?1</p>

<p>come on people…</p>

<p>no one was being stimulated</p>

<p>they were being cured - ANTIDOTE</p>

<p>that was the answer</p>

<p>Agreed. “But it got at something”</p>

<p>Thanks Harambee for the text!</p>

<p>Please see " " parts.</p>

<p>Our “subsequent” activities have curtailed “survival prospects” and evolutionary “potential” for most large vertebrates on regional and global scales, through persecution and habitat fragmentation and the subsequent effects of both on population genetic attributes. For these reasons, as well as for the sake of “future human generations” and the earth’s biota, citizens and scientists bear an ethical responsibility to vigorously redress </p>

<p>With the text, however, i see that humans have in part in it can be also true.
ughhhhhhhh this is so frustrating.</p>

<p>“Thats the anecdote
i think it clearly shows introduction”</p>

<p>but it also shows the process of starting a writing piece, hence the “nature of writing”
Can’t really be certain without know the full answer of introduction to___</p>

<p>For the SC question with the answer retiring…penchant, does any1 remember the other answer choices? I know diffident…aversion is one, but I think picked a different one. O_O</p>

<p>Wait, what was the question for retiring…penchant?</p>

<p>

Yeah, that’s fine. I was just writing my original statement up quickly. Both are right, your wording is clearer. It’s all good. =)</p>

<p>

Something about how a journalist was retiring in her personal affairs but had a penchant for drama in her columns.</p>

<p>is that intro to author … of writing?</p>

<p>Oh, dang it…
got that wrong!</p>

<p>I think it’s been quite fairly established that “introduction” is quite a viable answer choice for the anecdote question. I agree with it as well.</p>

<p>For the question in the passage about jumping rope, was one of the answers “A realistic view on a something something”? I don’t remember the exact wording but it was something like that. Does anyone know of the question and answer I’m talking about?</p>

<p>

I was talking about accuracy/clarity in the context of my original statement.</p>

<p>…And NO, just because a biographer MIGHT NOT write a false biography artistically does not mean that the answer is wrong. The answer is quite obvious. And it has been confirmed. ya jus dumb</p>

<p>I’m going to try asking again because I didn’t see a response earlier: does anyone remember the sentence completion with ‘precocious’ as one of the answer choices? Apparently that was wrong, but I’d like to know the ACTUAL sentence completion, not just the supposedly correct answer, because I thought I got that right. I could’ve misread though.</p>

<p>we are all like ■■-ing dumbasses, arguing of something we can’t not change anymore. Wait, pray, wait, sleep, 28th, scores, retake, …</p>

<p>CommonerCoffee, I think it was a realistic view on an idyllic childhood, but I’m almost positive it was incorrect. The right one was something about the significance of an after school pastime.</p>

<p>It’s amusing. I see ppl post about introductions, nature of writing, ethics, etc. Yet i still see antonioray and boston talking about the Oscar/biography question.</p>

<p>@frank
lol its ok according to harambee’s list i missed only 1
so plze dont edit it! or else i will be mad</p>

<p>An answer choice for the critic passage that said something like “writing stylistically(?) can bring thoughts into focus” was mentioned in the first few pages of the thread.</p>

<p>

You got biographer who with false facts and artistic writing, right? Wasn’t this confirmed like 90 pages ago. This kid is stubborn.</p>

<p>

The pianist doesn’t intend to maintain accuracy though, just like the biographer.</p>
