SAT January 2012 - Critical Reading

<p>It was undeniably elude and humbuggery.</p>

<p>The sentence was describing how the treatments for aging COULD do something, but not touch the CORE of the problem. To forestall would mean that these minor issues of aging would eventually come back, which is not how the sentence was designed to work.</p>

<p>@pheonix yea thats the one I put then. I think it was B.</p>

<p>I think the music passage is experimental; I didn’t have that one and I had a writing exp.</p>

<p>EDIT: nvm you guys meant the singer one</p>

<p>I got awe too…</p>

<p>what else do u remember drac…i guess im down to three wrong in critical reading from what we’ve talked bout.</p>

<p>wasn’t the analogy the government official who became a science teacher.</p>

<p>no i dont think music was experimental…can anyone compille a list</p>

<p>Jimmy, quackery has to do with false medical things. I think it would make more sense than humbuggery, although I do think it was a terrible question cause both answers are debatable as the right answer.</p>

<p>I got awe, since they were going all that way for some superstition. Plus it described him as being a god or something.</p>

<p>@jimmy
elude means to avoid with great skill.
the thief eluded the police.</p>

<p>@Desi</p>

<p>How about the traffic light problem asking about the people…</p>

<p>did they resent the limitation put by new laws
did they challenge them as illegal
what was the answer?</p>

<p>what else do u remember drac?</p>

<p>it was quackery and forestall.</p>

<p>Yes I got quackery too.</p>

<p>Seems like everyone got different answers for the analogy question…</p>

<p>what about for traffic…what else do u remember…</p>

<p>does anyone remember the answer to the man’s feeling when he glanced at Mrs. Anderson?</p>

<p>i put resentment by limitation on new laws</p>

<p>How about the traffic light problem asking about the people…</p>

<p>did they resent the limitation put by new laws
did they challenge them as illegal
what was the answer?</p>

<p>TO Clear it Up:
The policeman was polite
the traffic engineer is analogous to the recycling guy holding workshops in other states.</p>

<p>@Desi
I put that too, I hope we are right!</p>

<p>i got successful government official going back to town to become high school science teacher, because it was talking about how she went to paris to address local problems.</p>

<p>the state one said the person was requested, but the passage didn’t mention that paris requested her to come and help.</p>

<p>@Drac elude’s synonyms are avoid/escape/etc. They all present the act of escaping from something. In this case, the remedy would allow you to escape some superficial aspects of aging. Forestall does not fit this.</p>

<p>Discussing the test afterwards isn’t really helpful. Just adds to the anxiety that you could definitely avoid. With regards to that, I’m closing this discussion tab and forgetting about the test until the 16th or whenever scores get released.</p>

<p>and did people say that the traffic engineers ended up getting a lot of influence</p>

<p>i put captivated by her style…anyone else remember for the farming and biological clocks?</p>
