<p>ein1....i had the AFrica one...i found that as one of the easier stories, it was just really long</p>
<p>You're not supposed to discuss test questions until 20,000 years after the test. Otherwise the secret SAT police will kidnap you and make you take a never-ending SAT as punsihment :rolleyes:.</p>
<p>i put intellectual sport too</p>
<p>for hari i didnt put previous attempts futile...but, i dont remeber what i did</p>
<p>i think episode something about human engagement</p>
<p>but, CR is my worst subject so, just take this with a grain of salt..</p>
<p>i would love it, if we could put together an answer thing like there was for the oct test</p>
<p>lol.....id probably stab my pencil into my head</p>
<p>they say this here after every SAT *eyeroll</p>
<p>lol... last words of SAT proctor... "You are not to release any SAT essay prompts or questions through email, text message or internet."</p>
<p>do you guys remember one of the last sentence completions on a CR reading section with answer "extrapolate" and "invoke"? What was the correct answer to that?</p>
<p>i put extrapolate because it sounded pretty, i'll check right now...</p>
<p>extrapolate
1 : to infer (values of a variable in an unobserved interval) from values within an already observed interval
2 a : to project, extend, or expand (known data or experience) into an area not known or experienced so as to arrive at a usually conjectural knowledge of the unknown area <extrapolates present="" trends="" to="" construct="" an="" image="" of="" the="" future=""> b : to predict by projecting past experience or known data <extrapolate public="" sentiment="" on="" one="" issue="" from="" known="" reaction="" others=""></extrapolate></extrapolates></p>
<h2>intransitive verb : to perform the act or process of extrapolating </h2>
<p>OK, now if I only knew what was the question?</p>
<p>Conservation in Africa passage (a tough one):</p>
<pre><code> This passage talked about the conflict between western notions of conservation and the natural order. Basically it said that western conservationists wrongly believed they had to separate animals from humans, which interrupted the natural ecology and didn't benefit the african natives, who had to be relocated.
</code></pre>
<p>1) How do the westerners regard African conservation?
-The answer was a) an unquestionable endeavor. This was in the beginning of the passage, which said that westerners thought that it was "a moral duty" to conserve the african wilderness.</p>
<p>2) Why are Richard Leakey, Goodall, and another archaelogist's name mentioned in the beginning of the passage?
-To show that they are proponents of a certain approach to conservation. This was also in the passage; all of them believed that animals must be kept apart from the african natives.</p>
<p>3) What do the african natives think of the conservation parks?
-The parks are of no use to them.</p>
<p>4) What does the quote from the old guy ("animals must be kept in pristine parks") demonstrate?
-An obsolete position (it has been proven untrue.)</p>
<ol>
<li><p>In context, what does "hold" mean? ("western notions of conservation don't hold in Africa")
- The answer is "Apply".</p></li>
<li><p>Why are American and African parks different?
-They were created for different purposes. The American parks preserve wilderness, while the African ones keep huge mammals</p></li>
</ol>
<p>7) How would the statement "conservation in Africa does not include the africans" be proven untrue?
- if we found out that unacknowledged african conservationists HAD participated in the construction of the parks</p>
<p>8) What is the statement "The methods of conservation are now more sophisticated than they were 25, even 5, years ago"?<br>
-"an assertion without evidence". The author never explained how conservation had improved.</p>
<p>9) What does "coat of paint" mean in context? (New methods of conservation may not be really new, just the traditional ones with a new coat of paint. In that case, the cracks will show in a few years.)
-"To disparage an approach"</p>
<p>hmm, i saw extrapolate and invoke as the choices, but they definitely weren't the right answers. can't recall the question, but I'm 100% sure another answer was right.</p>
<p>The question regarding the legislator in a rural place...</p>
<p>the one about conservatives/liberals debating and whether it was depicted as...</p>
<p>childlike humor
or
professional collaboration.</p>
<p>anyone remember this one?</p>
<p>i put childlike humor, but was unsure.</p>
<p>and by the way, I was so happy to remember what "dirge" means~!!!</p>
<p>I didn't get that one. Did you have the fishing woman who moved from New Hampshire to Alaska?</p>
<p>I had the one about the legislator... the one about hari and the clocks, and ummm.... one about radar vector or something to detect planets and one about... how people lost interest in reading...</p>
<p>and some other one or 2 i just dont remember.</p>
<p>That's very odd. Our CR sections were completely different. What about shakespeare/george bernard shaw? And advertisements in nature?</p>
<p>nope.. niether of those even ring a bell.</p>
<p>nothing about shakespeare at all. nothing about advertisements in nature.</p>
<p>and i heard something on here about wolves... nothing like that either.</p>
<p>It looks like collegeboard really gave out a wide variety of test versions. Maybe to prevent us from giving out answers prematurely. Or just because they are evil.:)</p>
<p>one vocab was "élan/technique," i guessed it because the last part was the only one that made sense</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the passage about reading and how information is growing horizontally but not vertically? It mentioned the contemporary urban apartment dweller and how they are different from rural philosophers way back when?</p>
