SAT Critical Reading thread

<p>What did both of the biofuel passages do? I said both criticized media’s portrayal, because the 2nd one obviously did that, and the 1st guy had a whole paragraph about how biofuels aren’t as great as proponents say they are.</p>

<p>I remember reading about the true meaning of puppetry
biol fuels
deep blue the computer chess machine
the one where that author couldn’t make up his mind on whether his memories were his imaginations or real or not or even if that friend of his wasn’t made up
the one about barbara jordan
and the one about the ink from Persia and China</p>

<p>were any of those passages I mention experimental? xD</p>

<p>@Monepo, that’s not the media’s portrayal. I chose something else, but can’t recall the exact answer at the moment.</p>

<p>@arctk3 I had the same exact passages</p>

<p>@Monepo for that one I answered a question about how passage 1 criticizes biofuel and that passage 2 mentions it as a possible solution?</p>

<p>I put misanthrope too. I was pretty sure that was right – but now I don’t recall question.</p>

<p>Anyone remember if barbara jones was most like the ambassador from a country that just gained its independence and now making its speech to the U.N?</p>

<p>What was the question for the memory/house one where the possible answers are “shaped/edited” and “rearranged”? Also, what is the general consensus about the purpose of the memory/house passage…I think I put something about how it discussed friendship with a reflection on memory. What was the question where “semblance” was one of the choices? Was this the same one w/ juxtaposition as an answer choice?</p>

<p>yeah i said the UN ambassador too. that males the most sense, because it’s pretty much an exact parallel to the speech she gave. it’s like the african americans just earned their freedom.</p>

<p>semblance and juxtaposition were both answers, but juxtaposition was correct.</p>

<p>i said they used friendship/memory too!</p>

<p>^dubious… I think. None of them really fit in that well. </p>

<p>and the flourish was the SC about whales.</p>

<p>can anyone compose a list of right answers for the CR sections? xD</p>

<p>Wat were other choices for anacdote?? And from the vocab wat were other choices for inequity … Something , and usurp …</p>

<p>Was inequity and usurp from the section with two short passages?</p>

<p>anyone got any more ideas about the answers to certain questions?</p>

<p>Like in the war passage it asked what did those leaves the author was talking about mean?</p>

<p>I thought it meant he couldn’t think clearly since it said something about those leaves blocking his writing or something of that nature</p>

<p>anyone remember the war diary passage question with like: what is the purpose of paragraph 4? one choice was “talk about controlling his own emotions” and another was “giving advice to other authors”</p>

<p>@ iBelieve</p>

<p>I put controlling his emotions because at the beginning he was talking about “you” that you should write anything, anything at all for some reason then he went onto talking about himself mentioning that he had begun writing or something… can’t remember what my reasoning was though, but I did put down controlling his emotions xD</p>

<p>also another question on it asked something about the last paragraph or something like that and I put he was acknowledging the turmoils inside himself and the world outside him as an answer</p>

<p>do you remember anything about that?</p>

<p>and this SAT felt rushed to me, so much to read and then asking ambiguous questions xD</p>

<p>What was the sentence completion one about whales/flourish?</p>

<p>@danielle</p>

<p>It had something to do with comparing two types of whales?</p>

<p>Like I believed it said the something whale unlike the something else whale flourished after whale hunting had stopped,while the something else whale hasn’t grown back to its previous abundance? xD</p>

<p>I chose the answer that talked about how one type of whale grew back to numerous amounts when whale hunting stopped and that the other type of whale hasn’t grown back to its former glory of being plentiful? xD</p>

<p>@Arctk3 that was the last question of the passage. I’m talking about the first.</p>

<p>@collegeinfo1994 hm, tell me if you remember the answer you put.</p>
