SAT Critical Reading thread

<p>I didn’t know which to pick, either ambassador or the patent one</p>

<p>I ended up picking patent</p>

<p>@kashmoney but the thing is not about how a black woman got a political office, it was reflecting on what happened 144 years ago</p>

<p>Disparity inequity?</p>

<p>What was the point in putting the race car guy in the beginning for biofuel? I think I put something about an engaging anecdote. Also what was the point of the weird house building one? I think I put that it was about friendship and something about memories?</p>

<p>“The Democratic party first met here 144 years ago to pick a presidential candidate. This time is different. Why? Because I’m speaking.” <- Signified progress, right? It couldn’t have been UN or Olympic Medalist because they had both just happened, but civil rights had been going on for a while. The two don’t match.</p>

<p>It was reflecting on how a black woman was a keynote speaker at a National Democratic Convention, signifying progress in Civil Rights.</p>

<p>Yes, the question with the judges thought regional disparities were unequal.</p>

<p>I chose to engage the reader with an anecdote.</p>

<p>i picked ambassador, and signified progress.</p>

<p>@sourapple - that’s what i got
@crispi- i got engaging anecdote and whatever i picked for that one did include memories, but im not sure if mine contained friendship</p>

<p>Yeah I put anecdote
signifying progress
and disparity…equality</p>

<p>What about the question where it talked about her two speeches exerpted? i said to show the significance in her career…idk</p>

<p>I hated the passage on fragrance and on the house</p>

<p>Vocab Questions compiled:
Misanthrope?
Discipline (performer who’s performances were very methodical
Attentuated (Frost that was thawed)
Juxatposition (Don’t know if this one is rightm, talked about wood)

Modest (question about ravenous eater)
authority on… Abdicated (talked about schools
^ answers I got, feel free to edit.</p>

<p>awwww seriously?! i was going between anecdote and introducing a movement and i picked movement, but i think anecdote might be right :(</p>

<p>for the fragrance one- did you guys put it was the inspiration of scholars or to explain the reason why ink was fragranced</p>

<p>anyone get volatile? for the biofuel?</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the ink passage? The first question was to list out the ingredients in ink, right? What about the second one? I always do badly on the short passages.</p>

<p>i got anecdote too.</p>

<p>i got volatile</p>

<p>yes I got volite too</p>

<p>@tjhsstkid21 do you remember the question?</p>

<p>I got (Agent for,) (Usurped) for the school one
abdicate doesn’t make sense since the social forces are taking up the role, not giving it up.</p>

<p>EDIT: never mind. Didn’t remember the question properly. Darn!</p>
