<p>for this sentence completion question, was there an answer choice as "idiosyncratic" (or noun form of it)? I put down the answer that began with an "i", but thought it was idiosyncratic. </p>
<p>what were the other choices? i hope i mistook iconoclast for idiosyncratic</p>
<p>If you picked what you thought was idiosyncratic, then you're lucky, b/c the answer is iconoclastic :)</p>
<p>so there was no "idiosyncratic" answer choice?</p>
<p>That makes me happy!</p>
<p>If you think its not apreciative... its DEFINETLY not unconcerned. He was concerned because he WAS saying how cities had everything ecosystems had (like hotdog stands and hamburgers or something. Something about food in sewage). If it wasn't appreciative.... i don't understand how unconcerned fits it any better.</p>
<p>It's not unconcerned in the indifferent sense, it's unconcerned in the not worried sense...he doesn't think that the development of cities is harmful to nature because it IS nature...he's not worried; he's not concerned; he's unconcerned. How are you seeing him as appreciative?</p>
<p>i did write "appreciate", but it does make sense to say he dismisses concerns raised by naturalists, and in that sense hes "uncorcerned" with the problems of industrialization (wait was this from another passage?).</p>
<p>However, the question asked for his attitude specifically towards downtown ecosystem. He was not unconcerned towards the downtown ecosystem, though he was unconcerned about it being unnatural.</p>
<p>OK, I really need to stop. :)</p>
<p>It was "appreciative" because it supports his thesis.</p>
<p>Does anybody else find it slightly ridiculous that the SAT questions are so ambiguous that you can debate for pages on which of two is correct? Seriously, if this is possible, they shouldn't be questions in the first place</p>
<p>No, if they weren't debatable, it would be too easy.</p>
<p>The appreciative question was at the bottom of the page, correct?</p>
<p>Wasn't there a question toward the end of the passage of the passage, after the fundamental issue one, talking about the author's attitude toward some "subfield" ? I remember having it down btwn A and B, approval and curiosity. Anyone remember this one?</p>

</p>
<p>I remember it, but I'm not sure what I put, do you know any of the other answers?</p>
<p>I put approval for the subfield</p>
<p>i'm almost positive that the answer was Approval</p>
<p>I'm kicking myself right now. It seems like I did very well on the actual "Critical Reading" part, but I think I missed at least 2, and possibly 3, on the sentence completions!!! (I had never even heard of the word diaphonous!) If only I had studied the vocabulary... The vocabulary also cost me one of the actual critical reading questions. If I had known what profligate meant, I would have chosen A!</p>
<p>I got mouth for the Mona Lisa one, ongoing relationship for the Africa one, appreciative for the urban culture one, approval for subfield, natural impulses for the environments one, distinctive flora, and characterizes the effect for the shadowy Mona Lisa one.</p>
<p>And JYankees has a point. Usually, there are certainly answers that are partially right, but there is one answer that is more correct. But once in a while I will see an SAT Critical Reading question that has two answers that are perfectly valid and supported by the passage.</p>
<p>does anyone know the title or author of that piece about african-african-american ties? i really like the beginning of it and i want lto read more of it...i know random...but i was thinking about the same thing the night before and i was like WHOA. when i read it on the SATs</p>
<p>It's basically what The College Board thinks is right.</p>
<p>Did anyone get "formal"? What question was that..</p>
<p>what did you guys get for the CR that had something .... visceral...</p>
<p>intuitive and deliberate were two answers.</p>
<p>was candid an answer for a sentence completion??</p>
