2011 January SAT: Writing Section

<p>^have to disagree
after a conjunction, there must be another independent clause</p>

<p>@Syndekit, ummm. because the sentence started with the subject “I”</p>

<p>@etennis12 - Think of it more like a list. Knowing yet hoping. The trick here is to realize that they aren’t really verbs. They’re participles acting as adjectives.</p>

<p>Do you remember the first part of the sentence?
Thanks</p>

<p>@OSU ur over-thinking it</p>

<p>do you guys remember the one question “in the 1890’s…” . was it in turn or during the 1890’s however…?</p>

<p>I think it is “and yet hoped,” but I really do not know for sure. Just wish CB would give out the multiple choice answers…</p>

<p>and i dont remember the beginning of the sentence</p>

<p>Well, that sucks</p>

<p>the beginning was “he presented himself to the judge”</p>

<p>^we were talking bout a different question</p>

<p>I put during for the 1980s one.</p>

<p>^was this the passage question?</p>

<p>ya it was the correcting passages one</p>

<p>okay it was the one with “however”</p>

<p>wouldn’t using yet hoping be ambiguous because you dont know what hoping is referring to</p>

<p>i think yet he hoped would be fine without a comma because yet is a coordinating conjunction</p>

<p>Whenever there is a new subject, or the subject is restated, there has to be a comma.</p>

<p>^^
and is a coordinating conjunction, and you need a comma before it</p>

<p>SO what is the consensus, include the “and” or not</p>
