USA June 2011 SAT Critical Reading Thread

<p>And the melancholy one, I put “hint at a theory.”</p>

<p>Connie, actual made no sense in the context. It said their motives were _____. You can’t use actual there.</p>

<p>I think peccadillo was in an experimental section. you should probably take it off in order to stop guys like me from freaking out</p>

<p>Passage 2 author reaction to descriptions of teachers having to self-censor in Passage 1?
Extreme.</p>

<p>Second passage (censorers vs selectors) is elaborating on a previous distinction.</p>

<p>Bee is the agent- it was referring to subject not object.</p>

<p>Guys, is a -1 still an 800? I’f so, i’m going to freak.</p>

<p>so what can i expect to get on CR if i missed 2? :/</p>

<p>Lol ojo, that’s what I’m thinkign too. Apparently a -2 can still be an 800 !</p>

<p>i think that genuine is actual because the next sentence had the word “honest” as one of the first 2 words.</p>

<p>Mjin, it also had “beliefs” in the next sentence.</p>

<p>and i put for the bee and tree one something like adding to a previous counterargument because the paragraph before stated that she was wrong in her thinking. this paragraph would be supportive of that.</p>

<p>i put bee and apple tree as illustrating a concept, because she was explaining coexistence</p>

<p>heartfelt doesnt have to mean beliefs. cuz like i can say something thats legitimate and still be a belief. actual just means that their concern was legit :3</p>

<p>heartfelt feels like too strong of a word to describe a concern…
i took genuine to mean that it was actually there, existing, etc.
so actual is the only one that fits.</p>

<p>Was soporific also in the experimental?</p>

<p>I put that too mjin because the other answer said “illustrate the origins of a term” which is only one sentence in it and says very little about the actual word origin.</p>

<p>@brolex no</p>

<p>Was “want” underlined to indicate that she had felt partially responsible?</p>

<p>i don’t think it was heartfelt i believe is was natural. How many wrong should I get if I want 650+ and have 3 omit?</p>

<p>I think -1 has to be 800 as the vocab was unusually difficult imo</p>

<p>soporific wasn’t experimental, it was the answer for the turkey/tryptophan one</p>

<p>for censorship, was one of the answers moralistic?</p>

<p>yea it was moralistic</p>
