<p>No, they were real</p>
<p>Oh, yeah, I’m also very curious.</p>
<p>Was the question with choices flippant/agog experimental?</p>
<p>I had three CR sections and I never saw that, so I’m thinking it was experimental</p>
<p>@Leinad27
yes i think so, i never had that question and my math was the experimental.</p>
<p>Do you guys remember more Greek problems/</p>

<p>The answer was definitely uniqueness. The entire passage is about how his daughter understands his “secret heart” and the uniqueness inside of him ie. being the only one to raise his hand when his teacher asks strange questions. He also states in the end that while eventually things pass through the sieve that he is okay with all aspects being known about him after he is gone, so he’s not easily persuaded or anything</p>
<p>i agree with Kennybania</p>
<p>the author of passage 1 of the Kanzi ape section wrote “its not my intent to…blah blah”. there was a question that asked what purpose did his sentences serve. doesnt anyone remember the answer? some choices were he revealed a bias, he admitted that his side might be unreasonable,…i cant rememberr</p>
<p>The one about what did hariet think about the pneumonia weather…that was serious threat right? And what was the question which you guys got an answer “take into account other scientists views”…do you remember any other choices?</p>
<p>@dangodango im 100% sure that the answer for that was somethig in the lines of “author admits he has intentionally tried to avoid the conclusion that apes were linguistic” or sth like that. He admits he was biased.
@bleach experimental</p>
<p>Did anyone remember the main idea or theme of the dinosaur passage question? Two answers i remember were: a report on a marketing strategy used on kids, and a note of a cultural change. Personally i choise the marketing strategy because the author talks about how he was affected by such marketing strategy (expectation of the dino study) and the issue of the yo yo (popular in 1951 but not in 1950). I did not find such change as cultural, but rather an effect of a marketing strategy</p>
<p>Does anyone know the answer to one of the last Yo Yo and her dada questions where the answers were like a) fatherly pride in her dedication or e) … but reluctant to give away information. (I don’t really remember that second one really well.
Also I’m positive of reluctantly optimistic because I looked back in the passage and saw the scholars being discussed described as ‘hesitantly’</p>
<p>complied list?</p>
<p>If reluctantly optimistic is the same answer choice with “skeptical” than optimistic isn’t right. That last paragraph didn’t speak of any optimism. I think the question for the yoyo passage was “proud of daughters attention to detail, but ambivalent about giving away info…” something similar can’t really remember.
@meburi, he was not admitting a bias in those lines because he said his “intent was to not nitpick for reasons to disprove the theory” he said the facts were there. He was acknowledging a theory might be unreasonable (he was saying the evidence doesn’t support the ape theory).</p>
<p>Insufficiently skeptical is definately the better answer compared to “reluctantly optimistic”. I’m not going to give an argument on it, since it’s already been done a hundred times, but I’m just saying I agree.</p>
<p>For the dinosaur passage, what did y’all put for the question that asked what the author was implying when he said there was a change in yo yo’s or something from 1950-1951(not positive if those were the dates exactly) But I was contemplating between</p>
<ol>
<li>The advertising played a role or something (B)
and 2. There was an abrupt decline in yo-yo’s or something like that… (E)</li>
</ol>
<p>Sorry if this is super vague or I totally butchered the question, but if anybody recalls let me know what you put, thanks!</p>
<p>^ I put “Physicists discovered new principles of how yo-yo’s worked.” (paraphrased)</p>
<p>Here’s why (copied from my posts in the main SAT discussion thread):</p>
<p>Wow, I’m surprised at CC. The yo-yo 1950-1951 question was almost certainly “physicists discovered the mechanism responsible for spinning objects” (or something like that). It asked what the author implies happened during that period. And he distinctly said “They did not buy more yo-yo’s because they were excited about new principles of circular motion” (or something of the sort). This refers <em>directly</em> to his earlier argument with dinosaurs–how their groundbreaking research did not impact the public’s newfound obsession with dinosaurs. So, the answer was clearly the choice with “physicists” in it.</p>
<p>And this: I’m pretty sure the question was something like, “What does the author suggest happened between 1950 and 1951?” It did NOT, in fact, ask what made the yo-yo popular between 1950 and 1951. He specifically mentioned the founding of new principles of circular motion and implied that the research occurred during this period but did not affect the popularity of the yo-yo. The author was basically saying, “New principles of circular motion were discovered during this period, but these principles were not responsible for the rise in popularity of the yo-yo.” Within the lines cited for the question, the “physicists” answer was the most pertinent and thus the best choice.</p>
<p>EDIT: I also think that other choices like “gives rise to modern advertisement” were either completely unrelated to the point of the passage or contained an element that made them wrong. It was certainly a tough question, but I think many of you were distracted by the commercialism answers when he was clearly implying that some research on circular motion occurred during the period (but did not affect the yo-yo’s popularity–the whole idea of the passage).</p>
<p>I am pretty certain the author mentioned saying the yo-yo technology wasn’t improved or something, it’s just that someone figured out a way to commercialize it… I may be wrong.</p>
<p>I put the answer about some marketing deal, it was the most relevant.</p>
<p>Choosing the Physicist’s discovery is not only an extreme choice, but is not directly inferred whereas that whole paragraph was about commercializing products</p>
<p>^^ The choice did not say that yo-yo technology improved. It just said that physicists learned more about how yo-yo’s (and other spinning objects) worked, something that I thought was a clear inference from the lines referenced in the question.</p>
<p>^ The physicists’ discovery only appears an extreme choice on the surface. The structure of the passage revealed the following:</p>
<p>Paleontologists’ discovery/research (on dinosaurs) → Did not affect consumer popularity.</p>
<p>Physicists’ discovery/research (on yo-yo’s) → Did not affect consumer popularity.</p>
<p>I do not see how this is an extreme jump at all. Choosing something about “new marketing deals/techniques” is more of a jump, honestly.</p>
