October 2011 SAT General Discussion

<p>How about the one about some woman with the last name Baker in the CR?</p>

<p>caustic means severely critical
vehement means strongly emotional; intense or passionate
I picked CAUSTIC</p>

<p>is the account for phenomenon one the one with the alternate approach? cuz i think i put alternative approach…</p>

<p>was it spy or archaeologist?</p>

<p>like i said vehement is too extreme</p>

<p>for the woman civil rights leader, i said something about the marginalized participating politically</p>

<p>roommate passage:
killjoy
unconscious
pride
eccentric
disappointment (?)</p>

<p>thoreau:
fundamentally human centered
gains and losses</p>

<p>woman civil rights leader (Baker):
call for alternative (?)
account for phenomenon
shaping
consider carefully (or something like that) (meaning of weighing)
handling
archeologist</p>

<p>vocab (not in order)
fickleness
recondite
mercurial
exacerbate (… maybe assail, there is debate)
ameliorate
recondite
faculty / emotion</p>

<p>NUKE Passage (this one was hard):</p>

<p>vehement (?)
emphatic</p>

<p>uts vehement cause shes passioante about hating coal</p>

<p>weren’t exacerbate/ameliorate two options for the same fill in about MLK?</p>

<p>why would it be gains and losses? I remember there was another answer choice that sounded better…</p>

<p>@ttlycrazy idk, it was harder than just that though…it had a k^2 which made little sense to me</p>

<p>what was the one about the traffic in the united states and canada?</p>

<p>I had four sections of math and I also had the CR section about the critic talking about art and literature.</p>

<p>For the multiple of 10 and 24, I put down 3600 as well. </p>

<p>For the question about 4x+5y+10z=3, how were you supposed to do that?</p>

<p>are you sure it was eccentric. the quote specifically pointed to a section where the crazy guy accused the roommate of thinking he was pea bodied or some ****</p>

<p>i got marginalized</p>

<p>and its caustic</p>

<p>Vehement refers to like swearing and insulting. If caustic is severely critical, then it was certainly caustic.</p>

<p>Account for phenomenon was not the same q as alternative approach. The account for phenomenon was in the second passage about blogs about the quote.</p>

<p>Archaeologist is right.</p>

<p>no, levinel you’re wrong
exacerbate was about taxes in a city or something
ameliorate was social injustice</p>

<p>I also put something about marginalized</p>

<p>For the roomate passage, was one of the answers like instinctual</p>

<p>No babastein. You are wrong. It was 96 pi plus 64. You can’t just ignore the space that you are left with.</p>
