Official October SAT Critical Reading Discussion

<p>I didn’t have the Cold War but I had 4 sections of CR. I know there was woman’s suffrage, dinosaurs, Greek alphabet, ‘Yo’ but can’t remember my very first one, which hopefully is my experimental one? Anybody know? WAS NOT Cold War or MARS AND VENUS.</p>

<p>Obviously, I’m confused.</p>

<p>did u guys put “a report of a marketing strategy on kids” for dino?</p>

<p>I have questions about creative writing passage.
For the first question, where it asks you which point author 1 mentions & author 2 does not, is it “drawing from personal experiences”?
Also, for the last question, is the answer “[something] predates creative writing classes”? I thought this passage was pretty confusing LOL</p>

<p>can anyone answer my question about “autonomous” and “mollifying?” are u guys SURE thats right???</p>

<p>Cold War was experimental.
Women’s suffrage was on everyone’s test (was a short passage).
The long passages on everyone’s test were the dinosaur, Yo, Greek, and Kanzi.
I would know, since I had back-to-back writing sections (the A/C one is the real one btw, Babbage’s analytical machine was experimental).</p>

<p>For the Kanzi passage,
Was it insufficiently skeptical or reluctantly optimistic? I put optimistic but now I just facepalmed and think it’s skeptical.
Also did the last paragraph of passage 2 imply scientific implications or that other primates might be similar? I put similar since the paragraph talked about “apes and other primates” or something like that</p>

<p>and EternityBlazer, “autonomous” and “mollifying” are the correct answers</p>

<p>@Eternity I think I had autonomous and I definitely put mollifying</p>

<p>@Kyrix I said insufficiently skeptical…that was an odd one</p>

<p>Guys i dont remember which passage it was about but it was asking about the meaning of “recover” (i think) choices were repudiate and smthng smthg…</p>

<p>darn…thanks though. what were the questions for those vocab words? i forget</p>

<p>Can anyone think of more questions for the Dinosaur passage? the peers are joking and he misunderstood their motives or is he belittled by his peers? also is there an answer with Commercial stuff in it?</p>

<p>He is belittled and yeah I got a commercial answer</p>

<p>did anyone get “vague recollections of the past” for the Yo passage?</p>

<p>yeah @raymondthepro, i thought that was the answer too, but people have been saying its “father’s eccentricity” which sounds strange to me because it wasn’t about the father’s “eccentric” personality at all, rather his vague past and the way he portrays that past to his daughter Yo…</p>

<p>also how was the wife hitting her knuckles on her head “teasing”? i dont really recall a better answer but just wttf was that??? can someone please explain?</p>

<p>Kristina, they were different answers.</p>

<p>The eccentrity was the 2nd question in that passage, and it was teacher’s eccentricity. Vague past wasn’t the right answer, it’s was something else.</p>

<p>do you guys remember any of the answers to women’s suffrage?
was imperative one of the answers?</p>

<p>yeah thats what i said</p>

<p>awesome. do you remember anything else about the women’s suffrage?</p>

<p>There were only 2 questions about women’s suffrage, and the answer to the first one was basically “women’s suffrage” (along with benefits of women’s suffrage and stuff). The second one was “imperative”.</p>

<p>The women’s suffrage passage had only two questions and I think the other one asked what the purpose of the passage is. I put something about what led to women’s suffrage I think, if that was even a choice lol.</p>
