<p>What were other choices for Blog question 9?</p>
<p>@idskyscraper one of the questions you are lacking is about why the Frenchman locked himself in the cave. It was because it was devoid of sunlight.</p>
<p>@idskyscraper and @ARobins I think #9 on blog is worded incorrectly. It asked what the author of passage 2 thought of “passing strangers” who read the blogs. The author would have viewed it as an accurate assessment.</p>
<p>I thought passing strangers would be inaccurate. THis is because at the end of passage 2, the author stated that he or she, when he or she finds a blog she likes, follows it religiously</p>
<p>SHOULD I cancel a prospective 2250 for my first attempt? I know I can do better.</p>
<p>For the methodology and philosophy debate,</p>
<p>Can anyone tell me what was the methodology described in Passage 1 and met with caution and reservation in Passage 2?</p>
<p>But the other answer choices were even more ill-fitting, so that’s the one I went with.</p>
<p>@Stressedman I think that “methodology described in Passage 1 and met with caution and reservation in Passage 2” is inaccurate. I thought it was the presentation of a philosophy and then an elaboration on the philosophy in passage 2.</p>
<p>Also I thought one answer had to do with how they viewed privacy with blogs??</p>
<p>Don’t cancel a 2250. That’s a very good score for a first attempt. Heck, I’d be happy with that as my final attempt.</p>
<p>Yes, but that is with writing as highest. I missed about 40points for misreading the formula for the area of a circle lol… Plus the photography section killed me. See above. </p>
<p>eDIT: Are we positive that 13, 17, 21 are correct? what were other options? I don’t remember anything with dissatisfaction.</p>

5. Transcribe
8. Prescient</p>
<p>Blog (Q 9~10)
9. What do strangers refer to? Random readers
10. Criticized on advanced technology / Commented on contemporary</p>
<p>Farm (Q 11~12)
11. Discovery that can discredit the opinion? Trading (I don’t think it is neighbor)
12. Scientific proof? Finding evidence that they cultivated distant farms (many say that the answer choice that had the word “neighbor” was in Q11, but I think it was this one that had one of the answer choices having the phrase “trading with neighboring villages.” I think this is not the answer because neighboring villages are likely to be “near.” We need to find prove that they could have “distant” farms)</p>
<p>Photography (Q 13~24)
13. Technical skills are less important that something
14. What does “course” refer to? Progression
15. What does “rides” refer to? Depends

14. Content / ambivalent</p>
<p>Biological Clock (Q 15~24)
15. What’s the purpose of the article? To introduce a phenomenon and (re)solutions / To introduce a theory and ways of testing it (I personally chose the latter one because I couldn’t find any (re)solutions. As a matter of fact, ways of testing it make more sense since they did experiments to find out that our internal clock is actually 25 hours and not 24 hours. Also all the things regarding going in to a light isolated cave for months and etc).
16. What does the word “work” mean? Operate
17. What does the phrase “If the legend can be believed” do? Qualify a sentence
18. What does the phrase “Found at 1917, and more thoroughly examined half century later” indicate? To describe the finding of the biological clock (I know many will think this as controversial, but I think this is right. I’ve seen some say that it’s to give scientific evidence or something but isn’t too vague to say that this verifies its validity. Rather I think it is just objectively providing information regarding its finding).
19. How independent is our internal clock from external influences. (The question was relevant to the word “autonomous”).
20. In which of the following cases might the additional time accumulate? Isolation of light and sound
21. Objective & Instructive
22. Why did the french researcher locked himself in the cave? To avoid sunlight

5. Exaggerate
6. Obdurate</p>
<p>Traffic (Q 7~19)
7. Entertainment of historical event (This is also a little bit controversial, but I objectively think this is correct)
8. Have to change social behavior as well as something (like technical problems or etc)
9. Resent at new rules (laws)

12. What do all those different colors for traffic signs refer to? (or the question might be “Red might mean “stop” in one region and “go” in another region) The need to standardize stuffs

14. (question regarding Montana and Montacco have same traffic sings) Had become standardized

17. Cyclists should share the same road (or maybe have a separate lane)
18. What are “walkers and cyclists”? people that share streets with the motorists
19.</p>
<p>Copy my rough thread and keep fill it in. Also keep in mind these answers aren’t the corret ones. Some our controversial so feel free to discuss. THANK YOU
Also thank you for telling me the “To avoid light” question.</p>
<p>Whether or not you can do better, 2250 is still a high score. GEEZ lol
I wish someone also makes a thread for WRITING. Where did all the good thread makers disappear. Did they not take this SAT?</p>
<p>What did you guys put for the question about the traffic passage that was some thing like “what is the fact in the first paragraph best described as” about the law in London that made the speed limit 4 miles per hour…
I put that it was a “landmark historical incident” or smth… but I was thinking it could be “an entertaining historical fact”</p>
<p>I think “landmark of something” is inaccurate. I think the guys who chose this went too far.</p>
<p>landmark would imply that it set a precedent or was pertinent to the decisions that followed, which is certainly not the case. mere trivia.</p>
<p>I still don’t remember the mention of dissatisfaction with photog passage… Oh well. I’m done. <bedtime></bedtime></p>
<p>True…
I think what made me choose the landmark answer was that the next sentence that said something about how “this was the last time in history that human standards were used”
And I went and looked up the definition of landmark on google and got landmark = “an event marking an important turning point” so i dunno… Both answers make sense to me ><</p>
<p>@ARobins I think that refers to when the writer comments on the photographer’s camera. I put that he was reassuring the photographer that the camera can cause a difference in the world, even when there seems to be no hope.</p>
<p>So silver how do you think of the answers I posted.
Some of those might be different from what the majority thinks
but I deliberately changed those I thought was definitely wrong.
I wish what I posted is almost accurate since many of these
are what I actually put on the scantron.</p>
<p>Hey Guys, do yall know if the Traffic regulations about Morocco/Montana was modern standardization of most traffic laws?</p>
