Test Preparation SAT Preparation
281

<p>it was eccentric and paranoid because he was paranoid of him attacking</p>

282

<p>@burgerking316
I put compelling/formulaic</p>

283

<p>i put eccentric and paranoid</p>

<p>Pretty sure on both of them: He was obviously eccentric (throughout the passage)
He was paranoid that the guy was going to beat him up.</p>

<p>Bewildered means confused, so that is wrong.</p>

284

<p>biographers = spy or archaeologist? i changed to archaeologist to spy at the last minute</p>

285

<p>Luckily, I did a debate on nuclear power in 11th grade, so that passage was easy.</p>

286

<p>what was the handling one, with the choice shaping too. i thought for sure it was shaping, b/c she was shaping the life of ella banks</p>

287

<p>Drummer211, it was handling i think</p>

288

<p>@burgerking, you are right about corroborate. I despised that question because it wasn’t fair to ask the test-taker to know that. Also, I put compelling/formulaic because I felt it went with stock characterization</p>

289

<p>reposting question:
for the last passage about the activist woman, was the last several lines talking about her complexity, political activism, or her candor? i thought it was one of the three but put her complexity :X</p>

290

<p>I was stuck between paranoia and bewildered. I put paranoia as well.</p>

291

<p>was it disappointment?</p>

292

<p>yeah there was
it was plural in the beginning and then singular later</p>

293

<p>Of course my experimental was CR, 3 times, 3 CR’s…</p>

294

<p>I also remember spy, handling, and shaping</p>

295

<p>@sabreeshockey12 no that was a different question, but shaping was the answer to the question ur referring to</p>

296

<p>The last sentence of the passage was something to the effect of:</p>

<p>“I just wanted to be friends.”</p>

<p>What were the options to the question?</p>

297

<p>One was shaping another was handling. Archaeologist is correct and compelling/formulaic is correct.</p>

298

<p>repentance</p>

<p>disappointment </p>

<p>devotion</p>

299

<p>and was recondite an answer, what was that for?</p>

300

<p>I thought it was disappointment rather than repentant because he was disappointed that there were issues between he and his roommate</p>
