those crazy sentence completions...

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>did anyone have that one sentence completion referring to the authoritative figure? about how he wanted to be both powerful and solicitous? i put "accessible" and "willful" for that one.</p>

<p>what about the steep mountainside one? it said that the steep mountainside intimidated even the most experienced climbers so it was no surprise to see that Jane was ________. or something like that. i narrowed it down to "vertiginous" and "intemperate" and thought about it for a moment, then realized that "vertiginous" made sense.</p>

<p>anyone remember any more?</p>

2

<p>it was commanding and compassionate.
Veritignous (this word was not in barrons but vertigo was which means dizziness.)</p>

3

<p>hey did anyone have that sc with answer choices like apropos...anguish, and fitting...convivality. i know one of those answers is right, i chose the one with apropos, what did u gys choose?</p>

4

<p>drum, apropos was correct :)</p>

<p>avant-garde: "how he wanted to be both powerful and solicitous?"
I think it was affable/craven. Was that one of the choices?</p>

5

<p>craven means cowardly.</p>

<p>i got commanding/compassionate,
but this was the section where i had to blow 6 minutes
moving my past test scores back a section, so i didn't
exaclty have time to rethink it.</p>

6

<p>sinecure was right... having trouble remembering any of those completiongs</p>

7

<p>I also remember a question about some public figure doing something bad and the answer was like "some word... Libelous" ANYONE???</p>

8

<p>right right, i think we had the same test.</p>

<p>i answered sinecure, the only other word i didn't cross out immediately was sanctum, and that means home or something holy doesn't, it?</p>

<p>okay, looking it up. it means:
1 : a sacred place
2 : a place where one is free from intrusion</p>

<p>also, libelous was the rigth answer.
another option for that question was derisive/blah
where blah was the wrong half of that one.</p>

9

<p>karch... The question was something like</p>

<p>The politician got undeserved praise for his _<strong><em>-- it was really just a _</em></strong> desire to avoid conflict at all costs.</p>

<p>So he was known for being really easygoing, but it was just that he was cowardly and wanted to avoid conflict. Hence, affability/craven. Or whatever it was.</p>

10

<p>kristina - no, it wasn't.</p>

<p>there was another question on another public figure, where it said a newspaper article was something (eg derisive), and come close to another something (eg libelous).</p>

11

<p>Oh, ok. Didn't have one like that.</p>
