October 2011 SAT Reading

<p>did anyone get urbane as an answer?</p>

<p>But his tone suggested that he was paranoid.</p>

<p>yeah fort that passage 2 to 1 thing i said it was tired but it negatives outweighed the benefits or something similar to those lines</p>

<p>@Grisam–In a literal sense, his words are those of somebody who is paranoid, but he was speaking sarcastically.</p>

<p>its paranoid because he was like did they send you in to watch me? and he was like you think youre smart? He just was all around unfriendly and wary.</p>

<p>“I thought we could get along” << disappointed tone?</p>

<p>^yep, disappointed.</p>

<p>i think i put dedicated, because in the italicized blurb it said something like this is the story of how two guys become friends - so I assume the main character is trying to become friends with the paranoid guy even though the paranoid guy doesn’t seem to like him at first.</p>

<p>For nuclear one, was the author’s tone of engineers and scientists “weariness?”
Also on the same passage, what was passage 2 pointing out about passage 1? was it "it “undermines the costs” or something about “environmental damage”?</p>

<p>Damn, I think I read the wrong lines from the passage when I answered that question, then. I thought the question referred to the lines in which he says, “Oh, are you going to hit me?”</p>

<p>Yeah, but THAT sentence didn’t suggest determination. It suggested resignation, which disappointment went along with best.</p>

<p>would the 2nd passage on the nuke section be “surprised at the optimism” of the first guy?</p>

<p>No. I forgot the answer, but that wasn’t it.</p>

<p>How did the major ad boss guy feel about the Mary character? Envious or respectful?</p>

<p>Respectful because he was also a big-timer</p>

<p>One of the questions in the BIOGRAPHY passage was like what does the author seem most interested in in the girl…</p>

<p>I put her human complexities. You had to refer to the last lines of the passage where it said that she rose and failed many times.</p>

<p>I put respectful. Was the space exploration an experimental? Also was one of the answers to nuclear one like its controversial or something</p>

<p>@wakaflockason
I don’t remember having anything about space exploration…</p>

<p>Do you guys think -3 will be 800?</p>

<p>Not a chance.</p>
