<p>He entered the court room knowing full well that he was guilty, yet still hoping for leniency.
Correct Answer</p>
<p>are you sure there’s the comma?</p>
<p>so would that make “and yet he hoped” correct if there was no comma</p>
<p>^
The comma wasn’t in the answer choice, so it’s wrong</p>
<p>He entered the court room knowing full well that he was guilty, yet he still hoped for leniency.
or
He entered the court room knowing full well that he was guilty yet still hoping for leniency.</p>
<p>i forget which one it was on the test. you people are scaring me now. i hope i chose the grammatically correct choice.</p>
<p>annoyingaakash12’s sentence is missing the “jury” part and I really don’t think there was a comma imo</p>
<p>i dont think there was a comma</p>
<p>The latter is correct. There was no comma.</p>
<p>Annoying, I chose the second.</p>
<p>OSU, what do u mean by “latter”? Post which one ur referring to.</p>
<p>Were there two answers?
One with “and yet hoped” and another with “and yet he hoped”?</p>
<p>He entered the court room knowing full well that the jury would find him guilty, yet still hoping for leniency.
i seriously hope that i picked the choice with hoping and not hoped. crossing fingers.</p>
<p>OSU, which one are u referring to as “latter”?</p>
<p>I don’t think one of the choices had “still” in it.</p>
<p>@Synedekit, i believe there was one of those answers with “and yet he hoped”</p>
<p>Hmmmmmmm
I put “and yet hoped” because the verb attached to man was “entered.”
Might not have seen “and yet he hoped” because that choice would have cleared the ambiguity.</p>
<p>^so do u think that is the right answer or do u think the “and” is not necessary?</p>
<p>Also why was the answer choice “was the poem beginning to make sense to me” not correct as is?
Thanks</p>
<p>I was responding to annoying’s post, #385. The second one they listed is the correct answer.</p>
