2009 GAT Questions and Suggested Solutions

[EvangelionZeta]

Yeah I thought all the options for the first question were pretty bad.

I can't remember what I put, I think I put indulgence/endurance or something but that still didn't make sense

Nah, I reckon it's almost definitely ambition.  It's basically a process of elimination; indulgence, endurance and misconception are basically unrelated to the picture, whereas ambition is linkable in that the people are pushing each other to get through ala "dog eat dog" style ambition.

^ I put misconception cause one of the definitions in the dictionary looked like the situation depicted =(

I got about 10 of these different to you. Pretty sure that 10 is C and 65 is definitely C

I think 10 is B (three) because MY230 has zero, XXX has no numbers and 24TEE starts with numbers.

Agreed.

Yeah...but the caption "Urban Relaxation" ?

George Clooney was in mine too

Yeah. I chose ambition, but it's definitely misconception cause of "urban relaxation"

[EvangelionZeta]

Urban Relaxation=Ironic in that there is no such thing given the realities of an ambitious life; in being ambitious one is constantly lusting for more "power" even in their "relaxation" as the people in the picture show.

Something like that.  I just don't think "misconception" is as applicable, given that it's more to do with a false belief, and I think it's a bit of a long stretch to say that the picture is about people who simply don't understand something...

[kurrymuncher]

seriously guys, why are you debating about the GAT??? It does jack all.. Just enjoy year 11 while you can.

[EvangelionZeta]

Procrastination.  ^^

[kurrymuncher]

[dekoyl]

For the air-inflow crap which I didn't fully understand:
47: C
48: D
49: C
Anyone who understood the question want to confirm it?
