<p>@roonsta:
I don’t remember the first one, but on your 2nd question, C and D were “confirm” and “attest”–I said that “command” was the incorrect one, but I’m not 100% sure.</p>
<p>Also, does anyone remember the question about the people performing on the roof–it was either “We packed our bags to the sound of applause” or “Our bags were packed to the sound of applause”. I thought it was the first one, but I’m starting to second-guess myself</p>
<p>and @hwjwill, I’m almost positive it was “cradling”; the other ones didn’t work in the sentence, regardless of parallelism. My wording is wayyy off, but it was similar to the following:</p>
<p>“I see her hands in mine, wrapped around a cup, and cradling a mug”
It does not work if you say “I see her hands in mine, wrapped around a cup, and cradled a mug” even though those tenses are the same.</p>
<p>I recognize “cradling” and “command” as correct answers but I don’t remember the context of the question so I can’t explain why.</p>
<p>If anyone can refresh my memory I’ll probably be more helpful!</p>
<p>@aca425: I believe it was “we packed our bags to the sound of applause” because that’s an active voice whereas the second is a passive voice and since it was told in first person (I think?) it should be the active voice.</p>
<p>I’m relatively confident about my answers but if anyone wants to argue feel free to.</p>
<p>@aca425: I initially put down “cradled” for parallelism but read the question more carefully and changed my answer to “cradling”. If your re-creation is correct or close enough so it doesn’t matter, here’s my justification: “cradling a mug” and “cradled around a mug” are both grammatically correct. If the passage had “around” before “a mug” it would be “cradled around” which would match “wrapped around”. But because of the context “cradling” works best.</p>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>
<p>Gracefully,
The command/attest one was about something proving that the character and her mom were related (I think…)
Something along the lines of “The similar lines of our hands ____ that I am her daughter”</p>
<p>@aca425: Oh, okay. Then I’m pretty sure sure (~99% sure?) it’s command. Proclaim and attest work in that context but command doesn’t really fit. I wish I could provide a better answer other than “the right answer is right because it’s right” but I’m afraid that’s how a lot of the vocab-based questions work.</p>
<p>now i see… thanks</p>
<p>and i also put command; the other three are synonyms so cant be right. for performance on the roof, active voice is better than passive voice.</p>
<p>Thanks!–ok, that’s what I thought–“declare” seemed slightly awkward but “command” seemed worse</p>
<p>Command is the answer. It just doesn’t work there. There’s no need for a “command” there. or to have to command to make it true.</p>
<p>So is it ‘have arose’ or ‘have arisen’.</p>
<p>@jimi123: I think I got “have arisen”. If you could provide the context I might be able to explain why.</p>
<p>I might be wrong so you may have to previous posts: Several competitions (have arisen/have arose).</p>
<p>@jimi123
I would say it’s “have arisen” because “rose” does not require a helping verb (have), whereas “risen” does. That stuff should still apply for arisen/arose. I don’t know the exact mechanics behind it and I based most of my decisions (including this one) off of instinct so I may be wrong.</p>
<p>it’s have arisen im sure. i remember in my middle school english book there is a list of irregular change in past perfect, and the first one is arisen!!</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the use to vs. used to question.
I put used to, but I probable missed one. 
First confirmed on English. Well, it isn’t confirmed yet, but I am pretty positive that I am wrong.</p>
<p>Yeah it was definitely used to.</p>
<p>I meant I put use to… I have no idea why I put that. I’m always kind of nervous during English because it is the first section. -1…</p>
<p>Do you guys remember the question that said "businesses slowed and slowed was underlined and one of the choices was , A) lowered . Was it no change or lowered?</p>
<p>I put Slowed. The other choices r delayed, postponed, and lowered</p>
<p>Yeah, it was slowed.</p>
