PSAT 2010 Wednesday General Discussion

<p>YES! I put A for the last Improving Sentences question (about the jurors).</p>

<p>

I think you’re thinking way too into this one… However, even if buttress was right (which I highly doubt), aggravate was clearly incorrect in context. How you can make blood pressure regulation more serious (which is what aggravate means)?</p>

<p>It was neither. It was the one that said that the other systems were better at uncovering the truth. Or am i thinking of a different question?</p>

<p>@ Aaron Burr: yup for but feline and jurors :D</p>

<p>@Funstuff, I think that’s a different Q, 'cause I remember getting that answer for SOMETHING, just not that particular problem</p>

<p>What I said is basically just the drawn out version of what it was saying. Aggravate is defined as: to make (a problem, injury, or offense) worse or more serious. Didn’t it talk about something that “made worse” blood regulation, which would result in high blood pressure a.k.a. hypertension?</p>

<p>The correlation one is impair/minimize and not aggravate/buttressed. Correlation is how strongly changes in one variable correspond with changes in another variable, so minimizing the correlation is correct. Buttressed means increased the correlation; inconclusive evidence about a correlation weakens it, not strengthens.</p>

<p>Wait. For the feline’s E might have been the one with a singular/plural error. I might have even put A. I don’t remember the choices at all.</p>

<p>Also, can someone please explain the Eleanor Roosevelt one? Why is the answer not “No Error”? Does anyone remember the exact sentence?</p>

<p>what did u guys put for the fisherman and what he said i put that it was a reaffirmation of before</p>

<p>^ He qualified his previous statement.</p>

<p>I put no error for Elanor Roosevelt…not sure if that’s correct</p>

<p>The feline E question was an error in pronoun reference.</p>

<p>The Roosevelt question was something like: Departing from the traditionally ceremonial role of First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt used her position to promote social welfare. The answer was no error.</p>

<p>The fisherman qualified his statement.</p>

<p>I love my memory. :)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure the answer was “No Error”.</p>

<p>

So did I, but I thought I saw someone in here saying there might have been an error…</p>

<p>would they not target less popular websites/target more popular websites</p>

<p>Same here, no error for Rosevelt.</p>

<p>

Wait, so choice E was wrong? I could have sworn it was right… Do you possibly remember that sentence?</p>

<p>They would choose not to target less popular websites.</p>

<p>For the feline question, E was correct. I actually don’t remember the question–only that “it” could have referred to feline or to the other antecedent in the sentence.</p>

<p>Alright, for in the improving sentences there was a question pertaining to “the congretional meeting passed some ecological law before recess”. Did you guys choose the original option or the “Prior to recess, the congregtional…” option?</p>
