The BIG QUESTION IF YOU TOOK THE SAT 4/1

<p>Is it adversarial or exploitative?</p>

<p>ha..i said adversarial</p>

<p>shoot I sai exploitative...there's a HUGE debate about it in some of the other forums</p>

<p>Is it possible that a question might be taken off just like in Oct?</p>

<p>possible yeah...why do you think taht question will get taken off?</p>

<p>and by the way we DEFINITELY need more time on certain sections of the test...hmm the essay like</p>

<p>also there was a sentence completion sentence with an ambiguous pronoun
it was something like
"the critics were upset with the 1950s students who were __________to radical politics because they believed there was nothing to protest about"
is the they referring to the students or the critics?
i think i was choosing between indifferent and...something completely opposite to that</p>

<p>it's indifferent. I personally didn't think it was that ambiguous...</p>

<p>"possible yeah...why do you think taht question will get taken off?"</p>

<p>Nah, just wondering, I didn't have those questions.</p>

<p>I said explitive and indifferent</p>

<p>adversarial and indifferent.</p>

<p>anyone know which one was the experimental in the 'chair version'?</p>

<p>explotitative fools</p>

<p>this is great though</p>

<p>what was the exploitave/adversarial question?</p>

<p>The relationship between art and society can best be described as (or something along those lines)</p>

<p>i didn't have that question...does that mean i just got a different version of the test??</p>

<p>I think I said adversarial. My reasoning: it talked about how society always jumps on true art that pushes the boundaries and stuff.</p>

<p>I agree 100%. I said adversarial and indifferent. I was part of the huge adversarial vs. exploitative debate.</p>

<p>adversarial--the passage only said that the artists that weren't 'true' would succumb to public opinion. It never mentioned how the public exploited the majority of artists or artists in general, it just said that they wanted to be fed with the same stuff. It did, on the other hand, mention the public 'fighting' against individualism, etc. Adversarial isn't like rivals, it can mean 'antagonistic elements'. That was my reasoning.</p>

<p>And I definately said indifferent on the sentence.</p>

<p>That sentence is definately referring to students, it's those students who critics were upset with. If it was referring to critics that sentence wouldn't be gramatically correct . . .</p>

<p>the SC and the passage we are talking about were not both in teh same section, were they?..</p>

<p>ah anyone figure out which one was the experimental?</p>

<p>I selected adversarial too, because the passage stated that society has given science and philosophy relative freedom, but its attitude towards art was "offense" and other similar adjectives, which I thought pointed strongly to adversarial.</p>

<p>By the way, the story (in the same passage) about painting the grapes and drapes, the narrator said the guy who painted the drapes was either a nice man, a fool, or shortsighted. The question was how that was best characterized: "cynical reasons for a heroic gesture" or "alternative reasons for an action". I picked the latter, because I "heroic" seemed to be too strong. How about everyone else?</p>

<p>I said adversarial, as the whole passage is describing the public's belligerance towards true art.</p>

<p>@timepiece: I said alternative reasons too. The others did seem awfully strong.</p>

<p>timepiece...i picked the same one. i think the author isjust being literal, if not a little humerous. </p>

<p>but then again im not the best at CR..</p>
