SAT Critical Reading thread

<p>ilive4baseball - i said it is an unlikely outcome</p>

<p>Guys, please help, what did you guys get for the puppet short passage answers?</p>

<p>@Stonesn
Most of them were easy, but the last one I took a little longer on.
I thought it was “entertaining but inappropriate” as to how Author I would react to the cultural puppet celebration.</p>

<p>i thought it was like “true to the origins of puppetry” or whatever that answer was.</p>

<p>Okay, the answer was definitely unsightly. Also, did you guys put skittish or exuberant for the biofuels “giddy growth”?? The other word for dexterity was salutary…it makes sense. The sentence was something like When the astronaut took off the gloves blah blah blah lost no dexterity and there weren’t any salutary effects??? I don’t know about that one haha. Also what did you guys put for gain??? Win over or secure??? And I’m almost POSITIVE that for barbara jordan the inventor getting a patent was right…I am open to anyone’s thought though if you guys can give explanation for them or give better answers…</p>

<ol>
<li>Exuberant</li>
<li>I think it was adroitness and residual</li>
<li>Secure? </li>
<li>and I put the inventor but consensus is ambassador</li>
</ol>

<p>@i live4baseball</p>

<p>If i remember correctly wasn’t the better answer the one about the ambassador from teh country who has independence for the first time and is speaking to the united nations? This is for barbara jordan. How does the inventor one even make sense? The passage isn’t about discoveries…</p>

<p>@24004lyfe
You are correct. Secure it twas.</p>

Evidence that their culture was true to the origins of puppetry? Author I was like this is not suited for children and it’s actually for adults. The sentence that Author I was supposed to respond to was something like “People do this cultural thing to entertain children”. I hate to disagree, but it’s certainly not true to the origins of puppetry.</p>

<p>Do you guys remember putting that author I would say that Americans would appreciate the humor in the shows of Author 2. Was this one of the answers?</p>

<p>@Chinaboys
Do you remember the question?</p>

<p>no clue… Something about what would author I say about the shows in author 2</p>

<p>@Chinaboys
What would Author I say about the cultural traditions of Author 2?
See Post #530</p>

<p>Do you remember the exact wording… it wasn’t exactly that</p>

<p>@Chinaboys
What would Author I most likely say about entertaining children through cultural traditions as described in passage II?</p>

<p>@bob
sorry! I meant the answer to the question. I already know the question.</p>

<p>The answer?
No one has reached a consensus, but I thought the best answer was “entertaining but inappropriate”. (B) was wholly inappropriate for children (too extreme), someone else said “true to the origins of puppetry” and you said “Americans would appreciate the humor” I think…?</p>

<p>WOOOOOOOW! Hellow chinaboys, i am chinaboy!
@bob I put that Americans would find the satire of Author I humorous.</p>

<p>@Chinaboy
What evidence did you have to support your answer?</p>

<p>i actually don’t know. It was clear from the text. I don’t know why chinaboys arguing with you. The first author view U.S. as lighthearted and frivolous; therefore, they would “appreciate the humor” of the shows of author 2 that tried to teach leessons in a funny manner. That’s my view. We should be discussing tougher questions like the first paragraph question of barbara jordan.</p>

<p>@Chinaboy
The lessons weren’t meant to be funny. They were simply for children. The fact that the plays were meant to be funny for children is something that was not explicitly stated in the text.</p>
