SAT CR Jan 2008

<p>wasn't concillatory one of the choices in that question? i don't think i chose that one, but it was a choice, just for memory's sake</p>

<p>DanQ, the answer was that the Miss World women were unable to fool the viewers because, in an earlier passage, the narrator mentions that her dad had told her she should "be" a contestant on Miss World, and her brothers all snickered. That meant that they didn't necessarily agree with the idea. Also, you can tell she doesn't believe in it either; she shows disbelief when they choose these two women to represent her. Her sarcasm can be detected when she says, "surprisingly, they all guessed me." You can tell it's sarcasm because she shows that she was already skeptical of the idea a couple lines before.</p>

<p>kyun90 - i also think i agree with u on the developmental changes. i didn't think it was focusing on the changes. =/</p>

<p>wow, I think its really funny that we are still debating the asian people's tone. I give that question of the year. </p>

<p>On that note, can someone explain the "revere the authors" answer. I clearly misinterpreted something, so I am trying to figure what else that will affect. </p>

<p>P.S., aside from the two questions above, I agree with spikypufferfish's answers</p>

<p>affect: have an effect on/make a difference
move emotionally..
where did u get those explanations??</p>

<p>I agree with Joshua. pugnacious/terse made sense to me.</p>

<p>is everyone sure it's nonchalant/perfunctory?</p>

<p>it's nonchalant/perfunctory. I don't quite remember the sentence, but it was the only combination that fit the context of the sentence. Something along the lines of the accused's silence leading him to accept his sentence without trouble; that's certainly not conveyed by pugnacious and terse.</p>

<p>Can someone do an updated answer sheet with all the known answers and including the ones we're all unsure about? (Like the thorough/systematic question lol). Maybe I'll do it myself...</p>

<p>yeah....i put nonchalant/ perfunctory too....</p>

<p>yeah, terse is laconic in a taciturn sort of sense. i think nonchalant and perfunctory</p>

<p>princeton08540--please do that
and does anyone remember what the question was for the "Strident" answer?</p>

<p>for the strident answer, it said something about an actor and it was in stark contrast to his gentle dispostion</p>

<p>We are sure it is thorough and systematic.</p>

<p>I HAVE A BREAKTHROUGH.</p>

<p>For all you who who mawked and ridiculed me.
For all of you who called me names and derided me.
I WAS RIGHT.
YEA THAT'S RIGHT.
WHOO WHOOOOOO</p>

<p>The restrictions placed on international trade did not affect our company because we dealt with the DOMESTICATED market.</p>

<p>GUESS WHAT, I WAS RIGHT IT SHOULD BE DOMESTIC.
So for all you aunties and uncles who put E) No Error, you juts contradicted yourself because by bubbling E, you made an error.</p>

<p>That was in the writing section after the question about the hilly lands made our runners tired.</p>

<p>Anyone take the SAT's yet? I'm thinking about taking them tonight.</p>

<p>O(:}o)</p>

<p>Somebody's turban is on too tight.</p>

<p>Wait, what the hell?</p>

<p>And I think that was the experimental section anyway, because I never had that question. So it doesn't matter.</p>

<p>Also, I don't think it was thorough and systematic. I think it was the critical one, even though it seems a bit harsh.</p>

<p>Right...it's not thorough and systematic, and critical is a bit harsh, I agree...</p>

<p>was there one about "sound of the aerolian harps?"....i put that
and another one with like ezra pound something about "nature of the poems" did anyone put these?</p>

<p>So are you thinking it was the funny one, RememberMe? Because even though I think critical was harsh it seemed to fit the best.</p>

<p>i think it was thorough and systematic.. because the point of listing anything at all shows that the parents go through the same, comprehensive criteria for commentary on each real asian.</p>

<p>Hmmm, that makes sense a little, I guess. But I also think it could be implying judgment, which would make critical a better answer.</p>
