***Official January 2015 SAT (US ONLY) THREAD***

anyone got exhortation??? and what was the answer for the first short passage question about asking the closest meaning? the answer choice was prompt… and something like that

@DeshiBasara2222‌ yup aberration it is

@Baseballballer‌ - Manifest

@gustachurro‌ - Yep, and don’t remember the other one

@glasshours‌ That was a critical reading passage quotation about how Mars’s barren landscape is comparable to a politician’s promises.

@Baseballballer‌ 1)impress 2)prompt 3)Mars 4)~ resemble Earth. Any other ideas?

@glasshours i think it was champion/autocrat… or was that a different question

@prospect123 i don’t remember i think it was the 5th reading section though. Maybe number #8

@Baseballballer‌ Don’t know the exact question to the other ones, but for 3) north america is compared to Mars

  1. gung ho spirit

@DeshiBasara2222‌ - No, there was a vocab question about a politician…it was the first one

  1. north america was being compared to mars.
  2. notion was that humans could build new life or something

the Yankee one i put unrealistic expectation but everyone else says inadequate explanation so idk

Why did the author write “gung-ho spirit” and “Yankee ingenuity (?)”?

Hmmm, don’t remember that one. The yankee one was something about optimistic characteristic?

i put admiration for gung ho spirit and yankee ingenuity
