PSAT 2011 Saturday General Discussion

<p>Drawbacks of phenomenon was the one about interwebs.
Reactions/challenges were the two short paragraphs in the second section about genes
Neglected viewpoint was the gardening
Customary was the first short paragraph about genes</p>

<p>Ankit: the PERIMETER of the largest triangle was 1. So (if you assumed everything was equilateral, which yielded 0.25), the side length of the second triangle would be 1/6, smallest 1/12</p>

<p>I also got immersed, and put big businesses.</p>

<p>@rose yeah i remember getting immersed for something but i dont remember the question :/</p>

<p>The pragmatic one was in some passage about pottery, I believe. Something about pottery changing to fit economic and practical necessities</p>

<p>Hellofabutler, I can’t believe it :(!!! Still doing strong on CR and Writing :/</p>

<p>ADD this: </p>

<p>Pottery Passage***</p>

<p>acknowledge an important issue that was not discussed in the passage
pragmatism</p>

<p>the immersed in question was about “i was very deep in nature”</p>

<p>“Immersed in” = “Deep in”
From the gardening one when he described himself as deep in nature</p>

<p>yes i definitely do remember putting pragmatic as one of the choices</p>

<p>ankitp4t3l, nmsc semifinalist cutoff for arizona is 209ish so you’ll be fine :)</p>

<p>did anyone else get evaluating a controversial position, or something like that?
flipping switch was no error? </p>

<p>Also, can somebody please predict what a
CR (-2 to -4)
M (-0)
W (-2)
would be? thanks</p>

<p>Any comment on “flipping the switch” acting as a gerund?</p>

<p>@fall: No, the answer was neglected. There wasn’t any convo.
@ani: I think it was put in the wrong place.</p>

<p>Can anyone refresh me on the questions for “24: Without giving up value” and “Reactions o a viewpoint/challenges”?</p>

<p>Thank you :)</p>

<p>Not to ■■■■■ :), but In the CR consolidated Answers the Uhmma passage is on there twice.</p>

<p>On a completely random note, it made me very happy that they mentioned Morgan Freeman on the test. lol.</p>

<p>24 was about whether or not modern tech and privacy could coexist.
@Cyno: I love Halle Berry because I got the question right.</p>

<p>@cyno YES.</p>
