PSAT 2011 Wednesday Answer Thread

<p>I disagree about add to paragraph 2. The things that needed to be added were critics’ opinions.</p>

<p>where was there personification? i know their was simile and i know there wasn’t understatement</p>

<p>@spkrap322,
Yeah the “shrunk” stays the same, it’s just that the “has” should be “had”.</p>

<p>@jeffreycoleman,
Yep.</p>

<p>@kamzarro,
Pretty sure it should be “you not choose”.</p>

<p>@Ice
That’s what I put, but everyone shot me down.</p>

<p>also was “in hunting” one of the answers for Writing?</p>

<p>I EXPLICITLY remember the Thieves one saying “has shrunk”. Since it was talking about te past, its wrong.</p>

<p>@IceQube,
Adding the critics’ opinions would just be redundant because they were already elaborated on in the first paragraph. Plus, the second paragraph focuses on the idea of the “readymade”, so it should be “why the readymade is appealing” or whatever…</p>

<p>^There was nothing wrong with the thieves one.</p>

<p>there was one CR vocab question for which the answer i put was mundane…does this strike as something familiar to anybody else?</p>

<p>there was no need for critics’ opinions. it was already clearly stated was dissatisfied them about the art work.</p>

<p>@collegeready1995 I don’t remember what it said exactly, but it was the part after the comma. The part before was simile.</p>

<p>Can someone explain to me why the use of quotation marks over vulgar something is to distance the author from the viewpoint? I thought it was because it was quoting something that someone said because earlier in the sentence the author mentioned highbrow critics.</p>

<p>no dude, the sum of any two sides of a triangle have to be greater than the value of the third side. It’s 11.</p>

<p>The open-ended math question about the CD sales was 134, right?</p>

<p>@Ice,</p>

<p>The thieves one should be “had shrunk” but it was “has shrunk”.</p>

<p>“in hunting” anyone?</p>

<p>mundane = wrong</p>

<p>why would you need to add something about the readymade appealing when the whole point of that paragraph was how the author didnt focus on art because their apparent beauty</p>

<p>that thieves one is ridiculous. i hope it’s either taken out or D, for whatever reason. haha</p>

<p>what’d you guys put for combining the two sentences in improving paragraph?</p>

<p>@Bioboy12: That’s exactly what I put. </p>

<p>@IceQube: Critic’s opinions did not have to be added. They were already elaborated on in the paragraph preceding the scope of the question.</p>

<p>what was the correct answer on the mundane question? anyone remember?</p>
