*OFFICIAL* January 28, 2006 SAT Thread

<p>One of my friends made the same mistake tlqkf, was kicking himself about it later.</p>

<p>It was teasing; I've really got to go now, I've been delaying setting out for school, got caught up in this ( at this rate, probably will miss the bus :) )</p>

<p>Who’d want to marry someone who makes paper bags anyway. :)</p>

<p>yeah... the majority put teasing;</p>

<p>I never really did well on any of the fictional passages; I put down "because she was the only woman" cuz it was written during early 1900's and 'teasing' seemed too immature as an ETS answer..</p>

<p>at first I thought she put a paper bag over her head :)</p>

<p>Yeah, didn't It say she put the bag over her head?</p>

<p>and one more question ab/ Georgia!</p>

<p>particular parts of the passage (they told the line) serves to.</p>

<ul>
<li>show that it is unlikely for her to come back to her work</li>
<li>show difficulties she had to overcome while working</li>
</ul>

<p>i put former one !</p>

<p>damn i put the latter</p>

<p>not sure..I was really distracted esaily on that passage</p>

<p>I put exaggerate her reluctance to leave her job...</p>

<p>the one with the weather..I put adversities?</p>

<p>@ruberspes...</p>

<p>i put "show difficulties she had to overcome while working"</p>

<p>because it showed all the bad things she had to suffer through.</p>

<p>I put the same thing as thrills4ever; the difficulties she had to overcome</p>

<p>did u guys get 5 for the value of x on the multiple choice. it was like </p>

<p>5/x = 5+x/x+a or something??</p>

<p>i thought both choices worked. so had to think sooooooooooo deeply.</p>

<p>but i thought former one goes more with overarching atmosphere of the passage .. </p>

<p>not sure.. really..</p>

<p>yep, you are correct thrills.</p>

<p>Agree withi Julina on Georgia. It said something like...(if this is what we're talkinga bout)...</p>

<p>(bunch of adversities, etc etc)... she had managed a beat or two! It listed about 6-7 bad things she had to deal with as a newspaper reporter, and the only payoff was a beat or two (beat being defined by the footnote as a common covered subject). I may be reading b/t the lines here but a "Beat or two!" does not compensate for all her strife.</p>

<p>Therefore, she must not have been reluctant to leave her job and the exclamation point after "beat or two" served as an exagerration.</p>

<p>thrills4ever )</p>

<p>i think 5 is correct</p>

<p>What was the qeustion with the answer "to show the unlikleyness of her returning to work". Because I don't remeber that answer</p>

<p>and what's the irony?</p>

<p>i put .. the man who left for long distance and got fired soon.</p>

<p>but majority says it's athlet!</p>

<p>what do u think guys~?</p>

<p>the answer was athlete but i put something else</p>
