<p>can anyone remember any other math questions? Or sentence completions? I remember 9 of the 13 SC’s but can’t remember the easy ones…i posted them a few pages back…</p>
<p>@jasoncaa1 No, if you read the passage on the link that johnstucky provided, it’s easy to see that the choice can be eliminated.</p>
<p>So, if I missed 1-2 in WS, 2 in M, and 5-6 in CR, I guess that would be in the range of 215-220, right?</p>
<p>I’m really hoping either the NMSF cutoff will be lower this year, or the curve is more lenient.</p>

If it’s asking what the author of passage one would’ve thought about the local farms, why would the question want you to use an answer coming from author 2? You’re saying that passage 2 demonized the big business, and because of that author 1 would be concerned about the businesses. Doesn’t it make more sense that author 1 is more concerned about what he actually said in his passage regarding small farms? Idk maybe not. I know I’m scared now :/</p>
<p>Wait, I may be remembering the question differently. I thought it was asking what the author of Passage 1 would have thought about the self-sufficient farmers in Passage 2, and I know that the main point of Passage 1 was to condemn the transportation industry, but nothing was really said about transportation. I’m really worried too.</p>
<p>Regardless, I think the answer is going to have something to do with transpiration if it’s asking about author 1. Eek!</p>
<p>-2 math one omitted -3 (not sure ) writting reading -7-10 I die
failure cant read that fast.</p>
<p>Gonna have to go with NickSaban on this one. Passage 1 author’s main concerns were the consequences of farm food being transported over long distances. Passage 2 then talks about a time when people knew who they were getting food from and there were less competitive businesses selling people stuff from far away. Passage 1 would care the most about this because there was no long-distance transportation.</p>
<p>Also I’m pretty sure that writing question was “they are her” for the correct answer. “It is her” incorrectly refers to “compositions” as singular. To make it easier to understand, you could rearrange the sentence to read “her compositions are they that are most well-known”. This sentence, while awkward, makes grammatical sense. The alternative would be “her compositions is it that are most well-known”, which clearly makes no sense.</p>
<p>What was the context of the “It is her” question? Was it in a passage?</p>
<p>Nope not, a passage. It was a writing question, one of the ones where you have to correct (or keep the same if there’s no error) the underlined part. The sentence was something like “Hildegard of Bingen is respected for theological, literary, and botanical contributions, but it is her musical compositions that are most well-known”. “It is her” was underlined.</p>
<p>Also, whether the sentence is “They are her” or “It is her” is entirely dependent upon the rest of the sentence. Musical compositions, while plural, may be acting as singular predicate nominative. For example, it would be grammatically correct to say “It is her musical compositions that are her most commendable achievement.”</p>
<p>You’re right then. You would change “It is her”. I think that’s what I did.</p>
<p>There is no singular predicate noun. “well-known” functions as an adjective, so “compositions” should still be referred to as plural. Unless I’m remembering the sentence completely wrong, but I’m pretty confident on how I’m recalling the question. Also, the PSAT typically only tests on the most basic of grammar rules, I doubt they’d make a question where you’re expected to know what type of linking verb to use with a singular predicate nominative and a plural subject.</p>
<p>Ok, it doesn’t really matter, since we both got that one right. I just remembered putting “it is her” as the answer to a question, but I wasn’t aware that it was of this kind.</p>
<p>@Cminman</p>
<p>So you are saying that the answer was not a parallel between rural and urban life? I thought that was the only one that made sense.</p>
<p>yeah sorry, I only saw your last response after posting that comment so it probably sounded like I was trying to beat a dead horse, lol my bad.</p>
<p>@MovingtoTexas. Passage 2 stated that there were differences between urban and rural life.</p>
<p>So, then what was the answer?</p>
<p>I put something like “since operations were small and people relied on them, farmers didn’t mechanize and expand,” but I think the correct answer had to do with the minimal transportation involved.</p>
