SAT January 2012 - Critical Reading

<p>for the graveyard, policeman, landlord how was the author contented? I put ambivalent because she did not want to meet with her landlord but knew that she would learn something from it. She was jobless and was no way contented with her situation as she was envied by the lady and was “captivated by her”</p>

<p>Passage 2 did not analyze the concept (which was how the answer choice was wording it)</p>

<p>Passage 2 was experiencing it.</p>

<p>The author never showed any dissatisfaction, even though he or she was jobless, and had pretentious landlords.</p>

<p>@SAT100 - The “if we can believe legends” is part of the bioclock.</p>

<p>^^^ that doesn’t mean she’s contented she obviously wanted a better lifestyle due to her awe of the lady’s style and flair. She also said she wanted to avoid confrontation with her landlord but knew it was inevitable</p>

<p>And again/ Which one the experimental? The chick sitting at the grave right?</p>

<p>One of the answers for the vocab was transcribed it was about a journalist instead of writing down notes,transcribed them from a recording of the interview</p>

<p>sc- “Ramintuous”</p>

<p>what in god’s name</p>

<p>does anyone remember a very long passage about someone being some kind of judge of an author’s literary books. It had something to do with art and was like a long passage about how as an adolescent he describe how he felt towards this certain job/career he has now.</p>

<p>was that section experimental? xD</p>

<p>@jman Yes, but ambivalent still wouldn’t make much sense. I think contented is a much better fit.</p>

<p>SAT100 - I remember a couple more SCs
Histrionic and therefore EXAGGERATED
An author’s literary OUTPUT was DIVERSE</p>

<p>@michael its ruminate</p>

<p>Also, guys can you not ask stupid questions and just look through the freaking thread. If one of your passages is not mentioned a lot assume its experimental because it 100% is we’ve established this so much and do not need people going “WAS THIS EXPERIMENTAL, which one was experimental again?” because everyone had a different experiemntal and cannot tell you as everyone had different tests. Amen</p>

<p>Why did the author add “the only law was to “keep right””? Underscored the need for more car laws??? I put up the one like lack of agree-on rules. My reason is that please note the word “only” in the sentence before, so the " keep the right" is the only agree-on rule.</p>

<p>SAT100, that was experimental regardless right?</p>

<p>dukedream, thats what i put, it made sense</p>

<p>I dont think there was any underscoring going on there.</p>

<p>this is a question we ACTUALLY HAVENT DISCUSSED YET… what do the questions mean from lines 35-42 in the traffic passage? (red green blue, color blind)</p>

<p>was it: exceptions to generalizations
highlight issues needed to be solved
or challenge assumptions</p>

<p>For the Bioclock one, anyone got an answer with key word like get rid of the INDEPENDENCE</p>

<p>K I remembered two more questions on the photography part.

  1. Why did <guy’s name=""> talk about “camera” in line 49?
    I put like to offer a solution to his dissatisfaction. Another choice was like to sympathize with the author on his new hard job.</guy’s></p>

<ol>
<li>What did the <same guy="" from="" above=""> hire the author?
I put like to detect subtle evidence of the attitude. Which would be bigotry or racism.
Other choice included like document the nation changing event or something</same></li>
</ol>

<p>@ jman highlight issue</p>
