<p>no consensus was really reached on this one. but what was the answer to the first question of the passage? the one on the sentence that said something like, “used cars different from new cars.” i said to move it before sentence 6. anyone else?</p>
<p>For Madagascar, wasn’t it like C. “Due to it separating, there are different animals.” (?)</p>
<p>I debated about this one for a long time, but I don’t think it’s “by separating,” because that implies that having different animals was its main objective. And I didn’t think it was “having separated,” because that implies it’s just a random event that occurred after it had separated. The reason there are different animals is “due to it separating.” Anyone else?</p>
<p>@rover: that was supposed to be deleted! It was irrelevant to any of the claims made in the paragraph 
I said choice E. Delete the sentence</p>
<p>I kept “having separated.” the “having” does not exactly make the different animals a random event.</p>
<p>@hannahbanana: actually, I think that was the best answer. Others involved the word “they,” but “they” hadn’t been identified yet by whoever wrote the passage. I chose the one you did!</p>
<p>Is there a consensus yet on that one? (Madagascar)</p>
<p>i concur with you on the lemon one. i think the corrected sentence was something like, “someone may try to sell you a lemon—a car…”</p>
<p>About the Madagascar one I believe it would by “having separated” being it’s less wordy, but that’s just a guess.</p>
<p>What was the writing experimental?!?</p>
<p>liv4physicz</p>
<p>the reason why i chose due to it separating despite its wordiness is the sentence was: "due to it separating from the mainland 1.6 million years ago, it is now home to many new species not on continental Africa…not the exact words but having separated seemed gramatically correct but not contextually proper</p>
<p>lockclock, I actually think it is the correct answer. There’s nothing wrong with it and it very clearly demonstrates the cause-and-effect between the two events.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember what the answer to the world war two one was?
It was like “During World War II…”</p>
<p>anyone remember the “In the 1950’s where” question? I put that where was the error, yet later on in the writing section collegeboard uses, loosely, “In an era where” in one of their questions. Also, doesn’t saying “Having been” sound a little awkward with the present tense?</p>
<p>
It wasn’t “Having been”; it was simply “Having”. You guys are starting to forget the questions.</p>
<p>people say the e-books one was experimental.
im 100% sure i had writing experimental
but i dont remember e-books… does anyone remember some other questions that was in the writing experimental besides the e-books one?</p>
<p>^^ Still though, “Having separated” sounds a little weird with the present tense. Does “Having been” explicitly imply causation?</p>
<ol>
<li><p>“Having separated” is correct. The original sentence did not imply that it WAS a cause and effect, so the answers such as “due to”, and “by” are changing the meaning of the original sentence.</p></li>
<li><p>THE LEMON ONE? IS IT “SOMEONE”. That was the only answer that said WHO would try to sell you a car…opinions?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>What would my essay be at best if i forgot to include any examples of literature or reality tv shows in it? like my three paragraphs were: how profanity, harmful substance, and the face perception of reality are depicted in reality tv.</p>
<p>^^ You should be fine. This was kind of a BS essay so hopefully they’ll give us some leeway :D!</p>
<p>And I said someone for the lemon one. It wasn’t a great answer, but it was the best answer given the choices.</p>
<p>@Hannah, I chose “someone” for that reason.</p>
