<p>All these people thought that my active parenting was odd. They assumed parenting had been foisted upon me. What I remember most about their comments [was/is] that I began to believe them and to doubt my ability to be as good a parent as my wife might be. </p>
<p>Answer: IS</p>
<p>How come? Past tense was used the entire time (thought... assumed...)</p>
<p>Oh wait... sh**! Is it because it says "that I began to believe them" ?? If it were past it would have to be "that I HAD begun to believe them" ??</p>

<p>What's the diff between may/might? </p>
<p>A grocery checker may/might comment that Mom must have needed some "beauty sleep," and so "poor Papa" was sent out shopping</p>
<p>might is correct. I originally chose might because I thought "may" = permission. But now that I look at dictionary.com, may can also mean possibility. So why is might correct over may?!?!</p>
<p>I am not too positive but I believe for the first question it is “IS” because it is in the present tense.
If it were: What i rememberED most about their comments WAS that…</p>
<p>the next question seems to be an Idiom.
A grocery checker may comment that… sounds weird to me compared to A grocery checker might comment that.
May does seems like a permission. For example May I use the restroom.
You don’t say Might I use the restroom o.o. You usually say something like “I might use the restroom.”</p>
<p>Hope this helps. Good luck on the test. Don’t Stress</p>
<p>1) The narrator said “I remember,” not “I remembered.” This signifies a shift to the present tense, so he currently remembers the comments (thus, IS is the correct answer).</p>
<p>2) The word “may” is used as a permission, while “might” is used to suggest probability.</p>
<p>I Remember isn’t past tense? At first I thought it was the awnser “was” for sure. I’m going to scouwer the test tommorow for mistakes. </p>
<p>Where did you get these questions from?</p>
<p>I’m rereading the second question again and that sentence makes absolutley no sense. Well atleast to me it dosen’t.</p>
<p>I got help on these questions from the SAT forum lol</p>
<p>may = present tense, might = past tense
what i remember is << present
what i remembered was << past</p>
