2011 January SAT: Writing Section

<p>The unconventional book that blended ___ with <em>, </em> with <em>, and </em> with ___ ? Or something like that? I put No error.</p>

<p>Does anyone recall if the ‘yet hoping’ question answer was B?</p>

<p>@Kikuhana, the sentence about maxine hong had no errors. It was the most correct sentence out of all the questions in the writing section.</p>

<p>So is there a consensus that there were 3 no errors and that there were 2 no errors in a row???</p>

<p>I think I remember 2 no errors in a row. I might have had 4 in total though.</p>

<p>For me, I had three, but I don’t recall if two were in a row.</p>

<ol>
<li>The one about Maxine</li>
<li>The one about the Chunnel</li>
<li>The last one (though I can’t definitively remember if I put no error for this one)</li>
</ol>

<p>I feel like I shouldn’t have gotten more than one or two wrong.</p>

<p>I had one that was about 2 or 3 before maxine, the chunnel one, and maybe the last one, I don’t quite remember. but 3/4 no errors seems right. 2</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the question with the diver? “When divers swim up to the surface too quickly, they may suffer from decompression sickness”, something like that.</p>

<p>what about the ‘were there to be’ sentence correction one? was it no error?</p>

<p>i thought it was no error but, people are saying that it was “if i were.” can someone explain why that would be the answer?</p>

<p>I remember the diver. I put “up to” because I thought “up” was unnecessary and a bit redundant. Do you remember if it was in the experimental section?</p>

<p>A question said, Only after reading it several times “was the poem beginning to make sense to me.”
I think that’s correct, but people claim the answer is “did I begin to make sense of the poem.”
First of all, reading and beginning create parallelism.
Lastly, in the “did” choice I think that poem is too far away from the pronoun “it.”</p>

<p>i think that one was in the experimental because i had experimental math and i didnt have that question</p>

<p>If it was then that’s GREAT!!! I had an experimental writing. It so hard to differentiate between which questions counted…</p>

<p>^i was referring to littlepenguin’s question</p>

<p>ooo… My bad.</p>

<p>i thought it was “did i” because the subject of the sentence is the person reading the poem. You can’t use the second one because me is an object pronoun.</p>

<p>Syndekit
It’s not “was the poem beginning to make sense to me” because “Only after reading” modifies I, rather than the poem. Thus the correct answer is “did I begin to make sense of the poem”.</p>

<p>The only thing I remember about writing is something about decreased.</p>

<p>I think the question had have decreased and I chose has decreased but just decreased was also the answer. Was that an experimental section because I didn’t read anyone talking about this one?</p>

<p>^answer to Littlepenguin</p>

<p>I’m not sure if it was experimental, I just feel this sneaking suspicion that I might’ve gotten it wrong. But thank you for answering</p>
