SAT January 2012 - Critical Reading

<p>Are you talking about the social change question now?
THe answer was NOT that engineer skills can easily be transferred lol, I hope nobody put that.</p>

<p>@ARobins</p>

<p>nope</p>

<p>@magentaturtle</p>

<p>Well there was something about reservations and I am fairly sure that was correct.</p>

<p>Oh well, i’m looking at about a 720 because of that stupid photog paragraph… I could’ve missed anywhere from 1 to 4 on that. What was the question about dissatisfaction? And about implementing social change?</p>

<p>Uh…it wasn’t a “positive medium”. The only two answers that are possibly and irrevocably in debate are philosophy and methodology. Dunno which one it is between those. I personally chose methodology.</p>

<p>@000ooo000ooo</p>

<p>I’ll stand by your statement as well. The option that expressed author 2’s reservation was definitely the correct answer. (Whether author 1 said Methodology, philosophy, positive medium, or whatever, it doesn’t matter. For this question, passage 2’s meaning was more important)</p>

<p>There definitely were reservations in the 2nd passage… She was apprehensive about applying the photography because it can distort true intentions and be used immorally. Easily, the most important detail about passage two was her RESERVATION about using the photography</p>

<p>Well, I just remember that there was also something in that serene that said it was social reform to townspeople. Thus, government official-large scale (national traffic laws) high school teacher~ small scale (local social reform). And I think the photography question we are talkIng about was the methodology. I thin passage 2 put it into action but that was a tough one</p>

<p>OK a biographer should be _____ …</p>

<p>forthright…relevant</p>

<p>inclusive…selective</p>

<p>@ARobins</p>

<p>i put inclusive… selective</p>

<p>A biographer should be ____ but not ___<em>. I think that’s how the question was phrased o</em>o</p>

<p>Uh…there’s no way passage 1 was a positive medium. It was a highly objective passage nothing positive about it. And the african american guy didn’t have reservations…he enacted it and said that you should see whether the camera distorts peoples true intentions. Read in between the lines.</p>

<p>I said that for the photography one Divy.</p>

<p>@alargeblackman14 </p>

<p>He dedicated an entire paragraph (the last one) to express his reservations with photography. He goes on about how photography could either be used wisely or be used harmfully by deliberately misunderstanding peoples’ intentions and mindsets. If that didn’t express reservation, then I don’t know what could.</p>

<p>FOr the biographer, I put that a biographer should be FORTHRIGHT and not be too concerned with what is RELEVANT, but show all the details, etc.</p>

<p>THis was my reasoning… but maybe relevant isn’t completely correct as it needs tone about the person you’re biographing(word?).</p>

<p>@magenta
We seem on the same page. Currently, I am seeing a 740-750 or so. That quackery question. I had it then erased it to humbuggery thinking that forestall didn’t fit as well.</p>

<p>@Divy1234 That humbuggery/quackery question was bs ._. Oh well. A wrong answer is a wrong answer.</p>

<p>And the 2nd author’s input on blogs definitely DID NOT agree with the comparison of a passing stranger to a random reader.</p>

<p>@ jimmypod… In this case he was talking about photography in general. The debate before you came in was always philosophy/methodology. No one gave two dumb *<strong><em>s about putting something like “Positive Medium” when one…it wasn’t even a medium for photography it was quite clearly a stance on it…and two…</em></strong>?</p>

<p>It was not positive medium/reservations. It was philosophy/whatever the second one was or methodology. The second passage did not suggest reservations at all.</p>

<p>A medium is a mechanism, means, method, way, form. But the connotation was not correct IMO</p>
