*Official* Oct 14. CR Thread

<p>for the marriage passage, what were the other choices for the question that had a choice of "she provided an explanation that was not needed"</p>

<p>Walden comparison passages
--Author would say that isn't how teachers use the text
--Behaviour was atypical for Thoreau
--Passage 1 Author would say train ruined nature's tranquility</p>

<p>Africa and America
--Broad generalizations
--Cultural ties between two nations
--Unsubstantiated for the shadows question.
--Doubt to pride</p>

<p>Ada King
--Purpose was to examine Ada King's popularity, etc.
--Author would disagree that Ada's parent had nothing to do with her fame.</p>

<p>Mona Lisa
--Author of Passage 1 would add "mouth"
--Leo's quote was to characterize a technique
--"innate" to express doubt in a theory
--Passage 1 is to explain art technique, 2 examines its popularity
--The passage about the real Mona woman shows humble --> important</p>

<p>City and Ecosystems
--Cliff talk = Appreciation for city ecosystem
--Tree/Building comparison = <<<human endeavors limited naturally?
--Dams and anthills are like buildings = it is natural instinct
--3 pieces of evidence = arguments to support fundamental claim</p>

<p>Ms. Keeplar
--"Romantic" means unconventional outlook
--Hands to the heavens --> Bleak future
--Won't marry guy because of his RECKLESS behaviour
--Response to celibacy question = refusal to answer
--Uncle and Girl have IRRECOLANCIABLE differences
--Uncle and Girl agree = She shouldn't marry an undignified man</p>

<p>i wrote profile, but im 95% sure that im wrong. it makes more "sense" than mouth (which a pretty awkward choice), but profile=side view so I think mouth is a better answer.</p>

<p>Yeah, considering the photo of the Mona Lisa ISN'T FROM A PROFILE VIEW.</p>

<p>was reckless behavior for the Ms.Keeplar passage "A"?</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the Thoreau question to which the answer was atypical?</p>

<p>And yeah, the profligacy / reckless one was A.</p>

<p>it's definitely the human endeavors one, not self-regulating</p>

<p>caesar, don't be so hasty to discredit yourself, because SAT's completely disregard past knowledge. Portrait also has a lot of other defs other than side view you know...</p>

<p>with<em>one</em>voice.. it was how would the author of passage one respond to the "enthusiasm" described in passage 2</p>

<p>with<em>one</em>voice, various people have explained multiple times that the "nation" answer makes sense when you look at the actual definition of nation, not the "common person" definition of nation. </p>

<p>It might not be the best answer, but it's not incorrect.</p>

<p>Obviously it can't be correct if it's not the right answer.</p>

Cliff talk = Appreciation for city ecosystem</p>

<p>for this I put that he was (don't remember the word, but indifferent) In the passage is was something like "to us it merely represents a change from a forest ecosystem to a cliffside ecosystem"...it just doesn't seem appreciative, more neutral..anybody have an opinion?

[/quote]

exactly what i was thinking when i bubbled indifferent/neutral or whatever it was... but i dont really do so well on cr so i wouldnt count on it.</p>

<p>and to answer this question,

[quote]
how come nobody is talking about the democracy passage?</p>

<p>was that experimental?

[/quote]

yes it was, and i soooooooo predicted that it would be DURING the test. man im good....</p>

<p>The atypical one was where the guy from passage 2 took the quote out of context. </p>

<p>Was self-regulating a different choice from the capacity to grow?</p>

<p>didn't passage one of the two passages list somethign about hands and stuff? and you had to compare the smile to that? This is why I picked smile...</p>

<p>And also, can someone please explain the mona lisa humble/important answer? Was that B or E because I remember putting something with the word aesthetic in it</p>

<p>i put was "significance of an ongoing relationship.."</p>

<p>treebounder, i hope that what i put was right, but it was PROFILE not portrait. If it was portrait, i would have definitely gone for it, cause it sounds MUCH better than both choices lol.</p>

<p>with<em>one</em>voice: Actually, it can be. The SAT asks for the "best" answer, so even though others might make sense, there's one that makes the MOST sense. </p>

<p>Don't be so catty. It's just the SAT.</p>

<p>dragon- i think it was b, but im not sure. i think e was something that had to due with beauty/aesthetic appearance.</p>

<p>I'm not being catty. Africa isn't a nation.</p>

<p>DancinDragon, I think we resolved around page 23 or something like that that the one with "aesthetic" in it was correct.</p>
