October 2010 - International SAT

<p>Minhas, I chose recognition of guilt chiefly because there was a line somewhere in there where the narrators says something like “One of these days she was going to be good for a week,” which to me suggests that she wanted to redeem herself, and also because she returned the box.
You should keep in mind that the order of the questions in the Passage Based readings aren’t in order of difficulty, but in chronological i.e. first question is about the first paragraph/lines in there, second would be further down the passage, overall impression of the passage would be the last questions, etc.</p>

<p>it was recognition of guilt or something and definitely not fear of punishment…</p>

<p>@ MarieM:The armed one was doctors are armed, because the initial sentence did not give the subject for the verb…</p>

<p>@BOOZER: Nah it wouldn’t harm your score, a little off the topic, is fine I guess…</p>

<p>What was the answer to the Writing section question:</p>

<p>does either ski resorts
or
do either ski resorts
?</p>

<p>^do either ski resorts…</p>

<p>Yeah true but see the last paragraph talks about the recognition of guilt. When she reizes that her mother doesn’t need the box and ran back into the house.</p>

<p>The 2nd last paragraph which the question was based on said something about her mothe being ****ed off and was in for a good week ( my interpretation was that she had to behave). I don’t think at this point she felt any guilt and was only afraid of her mother yelling/getting angry at her so I chose fear of punishment</p>

<p>well I guess it’s open to interpretation so we’ll just have to wait & find out </p>

<p>Okay another question about Charlies behaviour in a certain paragraph.
Many people chose meticulous showing his close attention to detail. Raking & turning the soil etc etc but at the same time he was ignoring the authors ideas on farming & was doing it his own way.</p>

<p>So it was either meticulous or unruly (unable to be moved or difficult to change his mind)</p>

<p>and was one answer from the same passage indiffirent?</p>

<p>do either ski resorts</p>

<p>The one about Charlie:</p>

<p>Unruly is a close second to the correct choice, but for one, it wasn’t supported by the text. Remember that the author only suggests how she thinks he would respond to her lectures, she never actually gives it. Also, unruly is much of a harsh word (disorderly and disruptive and not amenable to discipline or control). This is what makes the question hard and CB is know to put vocab words that might throw someone off if they don’t remember the <em>exact</em> definition.</p>

<p>^ and meticulous because in the sentence following Charlie’s entery it said something like Charlie was big on manure and being neat.</p>

<p>^I am paraphrasing ofcourse</p>

<p>And was one answer indifferent?</p>

<p>SHould be meticulous. As for the “guilt” and “punishment” question. I’m absolutely positive that it was “punishment.” Finished the entire section 10 mins early and spent a good deal analyzing that question. The paragraph where the sentence came from definitely has a sentence where the author was thinking that his aunt or mother (forgot which) was going to come out and do something. I read that passage of sentence but it to me did not make sense that at that moment she was recognizing her own guilt when in fact that entire paragraph did not mention it.</p>

<p>zhuangzi, I respectfully disagree with you on that one. Let’s consider this for a second: if the mother was trying REALLY hard to steal the box herself, why would she punish her daughter for doing exactly that whose only intention was to make her mother happy? And furthermore, doesn’t the daughter say that her stealing the box satisfies both parents? Her father won’t know she stole the box and the mom would get the box.</p>

<p>I wholeheartedly agree with Eva…</p>

<p>I wholeheatedly agree with zuahgzni!</p>

<p>Guy was CHARLIE INDIFFERENT? Don’t remember the question</p>

<p>^ ok for the girl on i thought it was making a choice and immediately regretting it. I thought this becuz at first she thought it would be good to take the box then immediately started to conjure up reasons of why its bad, which ultimately lead to her regretting taking the box and as a result she put it back.</p>

<p>^^ So what’s the answer for that question?</p>

<p>Also, did you guys get BBBCBBBB for the first 8 questions of a CR section?</p>

<p>As for the question with unaffected as one of the answers, what were the other answer choices?</p>

<p>Finally, for the Japanese girl passage, why was it written in first person point of view? To provide commentaries to certain events?</p>

<p>@minhas charlie was playfully skeptical.</p>

<p>gregbob beat me to it, but yeah, playfully skeptical is the correct choice.</p>

<p>i’m dying inside waiting for the score =.= what takes them so long ???</p>

<p>@ Eva. I think you’re mistaken. it is most likely the aunt(who was supposed to be the person coming out and chasing her), at the moment i did not remember if it was the aunt or the mom so i typed both. </p>

<p>Since the aunt has all sorts of history with that box, who knows what she’ll do.</p>

<p>this test was the same as the March 2008 as well as the March 2010(sunday) exams</p>
