<p>Wait, how was the guy in the geese passage violating his own advice? I thought the passage was analyzing that precept by describing his own experience.</p>
<p>Because he said don’t listen to ideas you get at night, or something like that, but that’s exactly what he doing.</p>
<p>I thought the same thing, renoverchat</p>
<p>Why wasn’t the word “explode” meaning the guy in the geese passage was about to go insane? I thought he was utterly confused on his direction of life and unless he came to some conclusion he would “explode” like the trees did.</p>
<p>My rationale was that the text was drawing a comparison between him and the trees by using the same word for both, so I chose the answer that mentioned an explicit parallel between the two. I was iffy on ‘explode’, because I felt like assuming that it meant he would go crazy was reading too much into the text.</p>
<p>same here, renoverchat… I think I said parallel with nature but I was debating between that and another choice, don’t remember what it was though (do you remember the other answer choices?)</p>
<p>Yeah, if it wasn’t meant to be a parallel between his state of mind and the state of nature, that little part about the winter would be completely redundant. Though admittedly I marked insane as well at first.</p>
<p>Do any of you remember bubbling in inverted syntax as the answer to a question? I think subjunctive was one of the other options.</p>
<p>Yeah it was like “blah blah blah, espy?” I’m pretty sure it was inverted syntax.</p>
<p>Agree, inverted syntax. Also, I think one answer was apostrophe.</p>
<p>Yes, one answer was apostrophe.</p>
<p>Now that the test has passed, how would you recommend preparing for it? How does preparing for this test differ from preparing for the SAT Critical Reading?</p>
