USA June 2011 SAT Critical Reading Thread

<p>@alauren yes moralistic was answer</p>

<p>the sentence was along the lines of
“although the parents [didn’t know this] and [didn’t know that], their concern for corrupt reading materials was genuine.”
genuine = existing, actually there…?</p>

<p>anyone remember the other answer choices to these two questions?</p>

<p>teachers having to self-censor in Passage 1</p>

<p>what lines about censorers vs selectors do…</p>

<p>was the largessese or churliness on the experimental?</p>

<p>i’m pretty sure the answer was heartfelt, connie. the answers are all varying definitions of genuine, but heartfelt was closest in the context.</p>

<p>also ty for the answers on moralistic.</p>

<p>kevin i agree the vocab was a bit difficult, luckily i guessed many correctly from what i can infer</p>

<p>moralistic or emotional?</p>

<p>largesse was not experimental</p>

<p>for the pragmatist vocab question I put diplomat, it seemed logical, anyone agree? Also for that other vocab question, there was churlessly and fetisoudously? Did anyone put the fet___one?</p>

<p>for teachers having to self censor i chose the one about them rejecting their own favorite books</p>

<p>hahahaha am i the only person that found the vocab to be really easy?</p>

<p>hahahaha you’re so smart</p>

<p>for the country singer was the passage about her formulaic song writing style</p>

<p>Moralistic.
Teachers rejecting their own choices.
Roshdaddy, not formulaic sorry, because she said it was very spontaneous.</p>

<p>Country singer was NOT formulaic, she babbled on about how she came up with songs in different ways. I believe it was answer A, something about her approach to musical composition.</p>

<p>i thought the teachers one was them picking uncontroversial books. it never said anything about their favorite books</p>

<p>If it wasn’t formulaic, was it the song composition one? And for the teachers rejecting their own choices, was it the longest answer that was correct?</p>

<p>My argument for Melancholy: Before, there is no reason to believe that there are any negative vibes between her and her mother. She just comes and chats to her. When she thinks that rhetorical question, that is the first moment we realize there are some issues. Its a distinct shift in tone, and she begins to discuss the rift between her and her mother. Im almost 100% melancholy is the right answer</p>

<p>My argument for Heartfelt: I dunno why it would be ‘actual’. Hes not telling you that their censoring is an actual, real thing. Well duh it is, thats why he’s trying to shed it in a good light. Their motivates are ‘genuine’, heartfelt, because they aren’t trying to control our children and silence their thought (like passage 1 makes you believe). He is saying that they are doing the censoring with the best of intentions. They are genuine, not using the censoring as a political tool.</p>

<p>For censorship: The author thought the censoring by the educators was ______. intellectual/emotional/moralistic. I was bouncing between emotional and moralistic but in hindsight it seems like it might be moralistic.</p>

<p>@pdawggy Thank you, that’s another question. And yes, it was underlined to indicate that she felt partially responsible for the rift between her and her mother.</p>

<p>@ajeck513 Thank you, that’s another question. And i agree, it shows the complexity of the internet. </p>

<p>@alauren I forget elaborating on a previous distinction. was an answer choice. That is what i put and im pretty sure thats right.</p>

<p>hahaha nah, i just randomly knew all of vocab for once, it was so lucky! i’m pretty sure i got half of the math questions wrong, so i’m def not one of those people that come on here to brag. </p>

<p>and i think the key to that question was that the teachers were “self-censuring”</p>

<p>@elevit, I think it was idealist. Pragmatic is practical and idealist can mean impractical.</p>

<p>I put the festidiously one because it was something about being annoying or bad and I know spanish, fastidioso</p>

<p>the answer was churlishness, not fastidious, i believe. fastidious, in english, means overly particular and critical. they said that edward, or edgar or whatever his name was lacked civility and was always sullen… so that made him churlish, or boorish</p>

<p>My argument for Melancholy: Before, there is no reason to believe that there are any negative vibes between her and her mother. She just comes and chats to her. When she thinks that rhetorical question, that is the first moment we realize there are some issues. Its a distinct shift in tone, and she begins to discuss the rift between her and her mother. Im almost 100% melancholy is the right answer</p>

<p>Whoever just said this just proved that it was a change in strategy, not melancholy. :)</p>
