October 6 SAT CR passages

<p>I put redemptive and recuperative, sustained tradition, and heritage.</p>

<p>chinnu, it was "unambiguous fact" while the one corresponding to facetious was "earnest assertion"</p>

<p>Funny how each question is supposed to take no more than like 1 minute, yet we've spent quite a deal more time COLLABORATING on it. I hope I was right.</p>

<p>but why is it unambiguous... wouldn't some people agree that the candy making industry is not as extreme as he makes it out to be</p>

<p>also, redemptive and recuperative were part of the question, not the answer, weren't they?</p>

<p>yeah what were the answers to both of them</p>

<p>I'm 100% sure the answer was facetious/earnest. The exclamatory phrases were not meant to be taken seriously at all (facetious), and the guy was expressing his viewpoint - there was nothing "fact" about it.</p>

<p>"put redemptive and recuperative"</p>

<p>that was the question....</p>

<p>for the answer i put E, something that began with healing</p>

<p>u know what would have been a perfect answer
flowery language/earnest assertion</p>

<p>yeah I put healing also, but I can't remember what the question was.</p>

<p>the paragraph is the author's opinion...so i don't think it can be "unambiguous fact"</p>

<p>but flowery does sound better than facetious</p>

<p>do u guys remember any other choices for that redemption question</p>

<p>Can anyone think of questions from the passage about history? I bombed that one but I can't seem to recall any of the questions -_-</p>

<p>lol chinnu, i completely agree...let's sue collegeboard</p>

<p>opqpop there was one queston with answer choices dubious and scholarly detachment in it. i didnt pick it. but i picked E for that quesiton</p>

<p>yeah, that's why i picked facetious. can we come to a conclusion about that one because it's really bothering me!!!</p>

<p>also i put healing for the redemption one</p>

<p>i remember i also briefly considered scholarly detachment but didn't pick it. can't remember the other choices either....</p>

<p>what was the absence question about photos or something?</p>

<p>i second the facetious/earnest answer...i put that for the same reasons said above</p>

<p>opqpop, yea I agree.. that historian crap is really bothering me</p>

<p>chinnu, do you remember the question? </p>

<p>I don't remember anything from the historian passage... help? Questions + Answer choices?</p>

<p>Or maybe just what the 2 passages were talking about?</p>

<p>Is it really just opinion, though. I think that the author used unambiguous facts to support his or her thesis. Whether or not the candy factories operate much like other (less attractive) industries is not so much a matter of opinion as it is debatable.</p>

<p>That said, I'm leaning towards facetious. I wish I'd known what that meant during the test.</p>
