SAT January 2012 - Critical Reading

<p>i didnt omit. but so far, i think i got these wrong: 1. Voluptuous
2. Awe
3. Get rid of sunlight
4. Proud and aloof
5. Appreciable
6. Passing stranger (maybe)
7. Half a century ( I don’t remember what I put)</p>

<p>Why was the author captivate by the landlords wife? I thought he shunned her because he fairly blah blah mind (doesn’t seem like captivated) yet he qualifies by saying he doesn’t have anything against her. </p>

<p>Also, for the question that most challenges that the villagers have to go far to get grain… I thought it was using neighbors fields because that would mean its close. Trading with someone (and it wasn’t with anyone close) doesn’t challenge the idea that they went far distances. </p>

<p>Could people comment on this? Also, what was the question with the answer :depends</p>

<p>@chachaseeds
That was Mrs. Alexander.</p>

<p>@SourApple
That was:</p>

<p>As used in lines ??-??, the word “rides” is closest in meaning to:</p>

<p>Or something like that. It was vocabulary-in-context question.</p>

<p>@SourApple</p>

<p>Trading implies that they did not have to grow their own grain/crops, therefore undermining the statement that they had to have cultivated their own grain at great distances. </p>

<p>I also made the mistake that you made by the author being captivated at the landlord’s wife. I’m still going to stick with my answer, but only because of the lack of a convincing reason why she would be compelled.</p>

<p>Any one remember the SC question that had “libelous”.
and another one that had “levity” and “indolent”?</p>

<p>Was the blogger one experimental?</p>

<p>So the answer to the question about what the author thought of Mrs. Alexander wasn’t feeling self-conscious when around Mrs. Alexander? xD</p>

<p>opps made a mistake xP</p>

<p>Also does anyone remember the question about how the teacher was acting one way but was acting all happy and warm inside?</p>

<p>for the blank i put formal</p>

<p>was andersons the one with the vocab word myopic?</p>

<p>Anyone remember the answer choices for the one with Obdurate as the answer.</p>

<p>Obdurate
Loquacious
What else?</p>

<p>SAT100, can you put up the updated list?</p>

<p>so for the narrator’s attitude on Mrs. Alexander was was the correct answer? If I didn’t have the anderson passage…which section would be experimental?</p>

<p>Uhh still working on it. I was checking my answers from the math thread. </p>

<p>I am really worried about my math score. It always drops because of stupid mistakes!! -1 so far though.</p>

<p>@viggy
You should have had:
2 25minute CR sections
2 25minute Math Sections
1 25minute Writing section</p>

<p>Whichever one you had an extra in is your experimental.</p>

<p>@everyone</p>

<p>so the first critical reading section (25 mins) was about the landlord</p>

<p>the 2nd critical reading section (25 mins) was about the photographers, traffic</p>

<p>the 3rd critical reading passage (25 mins)the island (andersons) and ben franklin </p>

<p>the 20 min section was the biological clock</p>

<p>Am I right or is my list wrong can someone confirm or dispute what i wrote above regarding the placement of the passages in the different sections</p>

<p>i got -1, too…ughh…</p>

<p>@jsukpark … oh wow I confused anderson and alexander haha So yea, I guess anderson is 100% experimental.
@bantam I did get obdurate, but did not get loquacious. I put prescient or something…</p>

<p>ALSO for blogging, what were the attitudes of passage 1 and 2? I was really unsure but I put that Passage 1 was self-effacing and passge 2 was grandizing or something?? anyone else??</p>

<p>I think everything was okay except the “photography passage”…
or am I the only one thinking that photography passage was extremely difficult?</p>

<p>Do you guys remember the answer for
what black photographer is referring to when he says “history”?</p>

<p>and what does first author and second author have common belief about? (something in this line)</p>

<p>what else… do you guys remember anything else?</p>

<p>I literally guessed in whole bunch of questions in this section…
Since this was my section 2, I felt terrible after section 2 and my mood may have affected other sections detrimentally… I am so sad. :(</p>

<p>@jimmypod, but from what I remember, the line that the question referred only said things about great distances… That’s why I feel as if they went to their neighbors it would be a short distance</p>

<p>can we have more questions on the biological clock, photography, and traffic? more reference questions…toward the end what were the questions on the traffic passage? and around the middle-end what were the questions on the photography, and the biological clock overall?</p>

<p>I put for one of the answers on the traffic, they couldn’t reach a consensus on the bicycles lanes cause someone wanted it, some people wanted an entire lane devoted to just bicycles, others didn’t want it</p>
