<p>@badatthesat and @EAsoccer10</p>

<p>No, it would be correct in this instance. It would be an ablative absolute (I’m not positive of the English term for this, only the Latin), meaning “Having ____” could translate into any number of alternatives, including, but not limited to, the following:</p>

<p>-Since ____
-After_____
-With _____ having ______</p>

<p>@noloserhere With the way you have written out here, “Having separated” seems more appropriate, though A) You may have written it incorrectly accidentally and/or B) it could be irrelevant regardless because the majority of people here seem to have come to the consensus that the choice was “Having separated” rather than “Having been separated”</p>

<p>So, in conclusion, with the information presented in this thread, “Having/Having been separated” (or whatever that particular option happened to be) would have been the most concise option that was also correct.</p>

422

<p>Can someone please tell me if “were perfoming” belonged to the sentence with the second world war and the “matched its zeal”. </p>

<p>Was it something like this:
During World War II, many female bands were performing, and matched its zeal …</p>

<p>Or was the “were performing” to a different question?</p>

423

<p>Wow, I just realized how not-concise my response was :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: lol</p>

424

<p>Was “Having separated” what was originally in the question?</p>

425

<p>@born i appreciate ur opinion but idk…u haven’t seen the question word for word and its like a cause and effect question. Due to it is like the cause and the part after the comma is like the effect. But why do u care hahaha</p>

426

<p>anybody remember the “kids painting murals” question? with fingerpaint? what was the answer to that one :O</p>

427

<p>@EAsoccer10</p>

<p>“Having _______” could most certainly pertain to/ refer to cause+effect</p>

428

<p>

</p>

<p>You mean the rainforest MURAL…was displayed?</p>

429

<p>what was the answer to question 14 in the last section?
i was stuck between d and e
was it
whom was hopeful to become or
whom was hoping to become</p>

430

<p>whatever im done debating haha:) i guess ill just find out sooner or later lol</p>

431

<p>@Parhaitiy yeaaa that one. because i thought college board doesn’t like having 2 simple past tenses together in the same sentence, but i couldn’t find a past progressive in any of the choices. so i thought the question was kinda fishy</p>

432

<p>hateCR, it is hoping to become. “Hopeful to” isn’t grammatically correct.</p>

433

<p>Well, whatever the outcome of all these debated questions, good luck to you all! I’m sure you all did great regardless (:</p>

434

<p>Thanks born!!!</p>

435

<p>damn the car one was unfortunately? I changed that to regardless.</p>

436

<p>Did anyone get answers like this:</p>

<p>…who, along with his father,…
fossils…show
…reminiscing about the 1950’s, when</p>

437

<p>Has there been an answer list posted here? If so, anyone know what page #?</p>

438

<p>Sports, I remember answering “fossils…show” and the “reminiscing about the 1950s, where” that needed to be corrected.</p>

439

<p>has anyone posted an answer list for the writing? if so, could anyone tell me what page it was?
thanks in advance</p>

<p>edit: i apologize for the double post. internet issues made me think my post wasn’t posted before.</p>

440

<p>for the pluto one, does anyone remember the choice that said: “In what had been called a triumph of science over sentimentality was Pluto and its dubbing as a dwarf planet.”</p>
