PSAT critical reading questions!!!!

<p>yeah i thought it was unprecedented events.</p>

<p>i left that one black. to me, that question didnt make a lot of sense. thats why critical reading bugs me; i feel like a lot of the answers could be debatable</p>

<p>yeah, you can convince yourself that the answer is any answer if you think about it for too long. that's why i skip and move on when i can't come up with the answer instantly, then go back and check each one for 4 seconds each and see if it still flows with what my intuition thinks.</p>

<p>i didnt put proponent for the warton one...did i misread the sentence, or was it saying that she pretty much championed the short story</p>

<p>too many people put proponent... makes me sure that it is proponent. I know it sounds so appallingly unscientific, but ...
hm.</p>

<p>thats what it said. which is why its proponent. proponent supports = champions</p>

<p>was there a vocab question where one of the wrong answers was disingenousness and another answer was like intellect? or something?</p>

<p>a proponent isproponent:</p>

<p>One who argues in support of something; an advocate.</p>

<p>i dont get how thatd work. i put scholar.</p>

<p>yep, it's proponent.</p>

<p>what did you get for the last question to the space passage one?</p>

<p>About the "never more alone than being alone" one, I put understatement, because the definition of a paradox is a statement that contradicts itself, but isn't it always true that you're never more alone than when you're alone? In fact, you're the most alone when you're alone, so that statement would be an understatement. Make sense to anyone, lol? :P</p>

<p>hahahaha
that was enjoying to read
but yeah, its paradox.</p>

<p>champion = support the cause of, defend
proponent =a person who advocates for a theory, or project</p>

<p>and
its "never less alone then when alone" because they were saying they werent alone when they were with nature.</p>

<p>that makes complete sense, which scares me. but i said paradox because an understatement is usually a very obvious, sarcastic sort of thing, whereas a paradox makes you go trippy...</p>

<p>hey, does anybody remember the EXACT sentence? then it'll be much easier to debate.</p>

<p>ah right! i remember learning champion, i guess it didnt stick.</p>

<p>i know i asked this before, but</p>

<p>was there a vocab question where one of the wrong answers was disingenousness and another answer was like intellect? or something?</p>

<p>it's def. paradox. and definitely proponent.</p>

<p>Oh, what about the one that asked for how the mother described Chinese calligraphy? Like harmony, ingenuity, uniformity, etc. I put ingenuity, but wasn't sure.</p>

<p>oh **** I think I said harmony but I might have erased and said ingenuity.</p>

<p>i said harmony</p>

<p>harmony or unity. something like that.</p>
