I don't know why it's B. I though it was C and it should be E - No error.
I'm confused with these "agree to" and "agree with".</p>
<p>page 165 #3
Why is it D???? I thought it was E and all the other choices were wrong. </p>
<p>page 166 #5
I don't really understand anything at all here.</p>
<p>Help me with these Writing questions, plz!!!</p>
<p>Could you post the actual questions? That would help immensely.</p>
<p>147 #4: It's an idiom problem. A decision is "agreed to" by people, not "agreed with" by people. It's pretty subtle. You can say "I agree with the decision" but when the decision is the subject (and therefore the verb is passive voice) it's "agreed to".</p>
<p>165 #3: The biggest problem with (E) is the use of the pronoun "this". What antecedent does "this" refer to? "This" is very seldom correctly used as a pronoun on the SAT. (E) also has an unnecessary descriptive phrase: ",whose childhood was in China,"...keep it simple if you can. It would also be a better phrase if it read "who spent his childhood in China", the the "this" issue would still make (E) a bad choice.</p>
<p>166 #5: This is another idiom problem. The correct idiom is "not so much xxxxx as xxxxx" where the xxxxxx's have to be parallel in structure. So in this case "does not so much replace as complement". Note that the "does" comes before the "so much", so the "does" is used as the helping verb to both "replace" and "complement".</p>
<p>Hope those explanations help.</p>
