Since When Does the SAT Have 6 ?'s on Literary Terms?

<p>I was in shock.
Every CR section had at least 1.</p>

<p>yeah!! what was the term that started with an "a" or something on the c.r. (also had another term which started with a "c" which I couldnt recognize?</p>

<p>and what was the answer to that..</p>

<p>I noticed it but all the terms were like, basic fairly easy ones.</p>

<p>anachronism
it was the answer (damnit)</p>

<p>anachronism was the answer? NOOOOO</p>

<p>:DDDDDDDDDDDDDD</p>

<p>I got that right. Because painting a watch on someone from the 18th century would be putting something that didn't exist yet into a portrayal of the time. Anachronism!</p>

<p>that was one of the few wrods that i crammed in the night before haha
the c word was conundrum which i have no idea what it means</p>

<p>Yep, it was anachronism. I remembered it from my vocab book last year rofl</p>

<p>Yeah, I knew it from an AP english class. I was really surprised though- I don't think I've ever seen one before</p>

<p>I put anachronism because I remember chrono as time (THANKS CHRONO TRIGGER!), and because none of the other ones really matched it. I thought about allegory for a second haha.</p>

<p>anachronism affirmative.</p>

<p>The watch one had no alternatives....</p>

<p>The watch was no metaphor, no allegory... The rest didn't make sense. </p>

<p>Though I sincerely thought about whether anachronism is right... after all they DID have watches in the 18th century?</p>

<p>a conundrum is a puzzle
anachronism is something that doesn't fit in a particular time frame</p>

<p>i remember the other choices as symbol, allegory, metaphor...</p>

<p>thequestionmark, so did I! I knew right away that it was anachronism, but then I stopped and was just like, "Wait...when <em>were</em> watches invented?!"</p>

<p>Well, watches WERE a part of that time frame. (just confirmed)</p>

<p>I did put anachronism but also had to think hard whether or not it wasn't conundrum...</p>

<p>Point being: ****ty question.</p>

<p>Yes, but not *wrist*watches.</p>

<p>Yes, but not wristwatches.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good point, quite true. But you shouldn't have to know that too take the READING section of the test...</p>

<p>Come on!!! I said symbol.... cause its like a symbol of his changes... ugh. Another one wrong. Stupid CR :(</p>

<p>yes, i got the anachronistic one right!</p>

<p>but if i had know there were so many questions on literary terms, i would have actually studied them</p>
