October 2011 SAT Reading

<p>For the one about the art/literature “loops” in the highway.</p>

<p>There was a question that asked about the first lines (1-4) that mentioned the “extremes” of whatever, and asked what it meant. What was the answer?</p>

<p>Ok I got the two things we need. </p>

<p>“We search for them by carefully reading and interpreting the fragmented messages left behind”</p>

<p>Spy or Archaeologist</p>

<p>“In order for us as poor and oppressed people to become a part of a society that is meaningful, the system under which we now exist has to be radically changed. This means that we are going to have to learn to think in radical terms. I use the term radical in its original meaning—getting down to and understanding the root cause. It means facing a system that does not lend itself to your needs and devising means by which you change that system.” —Ella Baker, 1969</p>

<p>Hypothetical proposal or alternative approach</p>

<p>I argue proposal because there is no alternative mentioned here. What was the original approach?</p>

<p>NO ONE IS ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS.
Does anyone remember the other choices for the gains/loss nature question? </p>

<p>also, what were the choices other than to explain a phenomenon for the blogging short passage?</p>

<p>i understand that those were the correct answers, i just can’t remember if i picked them.</p>

<p>the ideas one was definitely preexisted creativity. i chose B at first, but then realized that it didnt make any sense since he implied that he had ideas</p>

<p>but as for the one that talked about the blogging. did anyone say qualify a claim? cuz i think i got that wrong</p>

<p>It was not qualify a claim because qualify means to limit. Does that make any sense?</p>

<p>@baller, it was explain a phenomenon. Not qualify a claim. 100% sure.</p>

<p>Also, the one about ideas with Fleece. Was it the answer that ideas always existed? said that word for word in the passage</p>

<p>^ Blogging one had qualify a claim, pose a question, explain phenomenon, forgot the others but they were clearly wrong. Explain phenomenon is correct simply cause he’s not qualifying a claim (he’s making one), and of course that means he’s not posing a question.</p>

<p>it was ACCOUNT FOR A PHENOMENON.</p>

<p>i pray that wasnt sarcasm</p>

<p>Does anyone want to rebut my argument about the Thoreau one two pages back?</p>

<p>there was one other answer on that question that was like “offer an answer to the thesis” that looked like it was definitely right to me…</p>

<p>the one about the hermandsver school one:
Fleece said the ideas were…
a) independent of human consciousness
or b) presupposed the instinctual?</p>

<p>i said B because Fleece specifically says that ideas were not like music - they existed much before. please can someone confirm?</p>

<p>i said that the answer was b</p>

<p>wasn’t there a sentence completion that was like “someone accused some other person of having bad speaking skills, but then that person ____ their claims by doing something”</p>

<p>I think I put rebutted… another choice was relinquish</p>

<p>These threads are just so ridiculous…</p>

<p>You guys gotta stop. You’re gonna drive yourself crazy. </p>

<p>PHENOMENON POLITICAL THEORY CLAIM QUESTION ECCENTRIC EXECUTION HANDLING MANAGEMENT SATS AHHHHH I WANT TO GO TO A GOOD COLLEGE TELL ME MY ANSWERS ARE RIGHT DAMN IT</p>

<p>^^ I chose B as well, but who knows lol</p>

<p>that was rebutted since he it said that he brought up his experience, or something like that</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I wish we had a like button. . .</p>

<p>^^??? can you elaborate</p>

<p>would 5-6 be around a 720</p>
