Official December SAT I Forum

<p>yea i put contemptous and ironic as 2 answers, but then again i may be wrong.</p>

<p>Did you guys get "romanticized" in one of the questions on the Venus passage?</p>

<p>i thought Lewis was reflected in sorta negative light and that feeling even worsened when bobby said somethin</p>

<p>I put furious :(</p>

<p>I think I eliminated the ironic one....what were the other choices?</p>

<p>i got it down to furious/ironic.</p>

<p>ironic won at end</p>

<p>On the Venus passage, instead of romanticized I got something about two theories.</p>

<p>I think it was ironic, because Lewis likes the outdoors...with his comments about the wild and stuff. He was like: " Let's enjoy this because the real estate agents turn this into their piece of heaven." Only the agents would find a developed area--the dam--as heaven. In contrast, Lewis enjoys the wilderness and does not find it heavenly.</p>

<p>what was the question for ironic one?</p>

<p>Venus was 2 theories.</p>

<p>I don't think it was furious....that seemed too negative?! I may be wrong though.</p>

<p>i agree with Crom</p>

<p>jeez i'm really getting confused now with the ill-conceived failure and the foolish imitation. Everyone's argument seems to make sense.</p>

<p>By the way, how doy ou think the curve is gonna be on the verbal? Would you say this is a harder one?</p>

<p>For ironic -- it was in reference to heavens. As in: the speaker uses the word "heavens" with what sort of tone?</p>

<p>The context of heavens was something with real estate.</p>

<p>I'm 99% sure the answer is ironic, though.</p>

<p>for the value of K on the gridins for the perimeter of the 4,3,2,1 stacked squares, did you guys say .625?</p>

<p>it might have been math experimental</p>

<p>yea i remember putting 2 theories as well</p>

<p>No I don't think it was the two theories because it said "contrasting theories" which would indicate that they're different. However, the theories were essentially the same saying that there's water on Venus. Plus I think 3 ideas, not necessarly 2 theories were presented in that paragraph.</p>

<p>I think it must have been romanticized becauese it said that the marshes were lush swarming with dragonflies etc.</p>

<p>"jeez i'm really getting confused now with the ill-conceived failure and the foolish imitation. Everyone's argument seems to make sense."
Hahaha yes I completely agree! I put ill-conceieved failure as a gut instinct, but I thought foolish imitations made sense too.</p>

<p>Verbal was tougher than my last two SAT verbals, imho.</p>

<p>meh. it mightve been because...</p>

<p>ro·man·tic ( P ) Pronunciation Key (r-mntk)
adj. </p>

<p>Imaginative but impractical; visionary: romantic notions. </p>

<p>Not based on fact; imaginary or fictitious: His memoirs were criticized as a romantic view of the past.</p>

<p>what was the question with the 2 theories/romanticized thing?</p>

<p>Side note to math: The question asking how many numbers less than a 1000 are a product of 3 consecutive numbers... I included 0 so....PLEASE TELL ME THAT WAS AN EXPERIMENTAL!</p>
