Official June SAT CRITICAL READING: Yellowstone Park

<p>Does anyone remember anything about the alternative medicine questions? I remember I put
-The second passage was a specific example of something the first passage talked about generally
-The first passage was more critical</p>

<p>I don't remember the other questions, though.</p>

<p>what was the question with obstinate about or if you don't remember, what were some of the other responses? i'm completely blanking out on this question</p>

<p>blazingfire: i put that the second passage was cautiously supportive and the first passage was dismissive... or something like that.</p>

<p>Obstinate was about a politician who wouldn't compromise on a bill. I think "constant" was also a choice, don't remember the others.
Does anyone know where "Ameliorate" was from? I don't remember that sentence.</p>

<p>something about the 1st one only considered present while 2nd talked about past?</p>

<p>ameliorate the situation...</p>

<p>How could a fable be edifying?</p>

<p>The thing is I think that the answer was actually that the first passage was cautiously supportive and the second one was dismissive, which is certainly wrong. If it was the other way around that's more possible, although I would still say the the first passage wasn't entirely dismissive and the second one was quite enthusiastically supportive.</p>

<p>Edit: I think I remember the ameliorate now...was the other word exacerbate?</p>

<p>the answer for the enigmatic - edifying and puzzlement - fabrication is</p>

<p>enigmatic - edifying because he is trying to understand his father's life story thus trying to develop it</p>

<p>again for the matter of "steps"...if you read on the passage, you can see that students "doing" instructions doesn't sound right..So it should be movement (a ballet movement)....</p>

<p>to deadmonkey: If Jesus used fables to teach us, then we apparently learn from him</p>

<p>I put loyal for the senator one.........was that right?</p>

<p>I think that one was obstinate because he was uncompromising.</p>

<p>Jesus used parables. And for the senator it was obstreperous, cuz he was stubborn. Who woulda thunk that I'd be so adept at spelling abstreperous!</p>

<p>In the medicine one, I also put the first passage was more critical.</p>

<p>^ you mean obstinate?</p>

<p>as I mispell it...lol</p>

<p>I put critical for the first passage too. No, it wasn't obstinate, I don't think....</p>

<p>QUESTION: </p>

<p>the blotches or swaths of black canvas was?</p>

<p>ignorance????????</p>

<p>Oops, yes Jesus used parables...I may have made an error there, but I stand by my position that it's enigma and edifying...because he didn't know much about his father, and he wanted something that would tell more about him. (Not that the "fable" actually exists for him. I think that's critical to understand). Fabrication carries a very negative connotation, and I don't think that is fitting.</p>
