However the telephone question confuses a gerund, incorporating, with the central verb of the main clause, replaced. That was my thinking but again, I could totally be wrong
If the gerund incorporating had been in the subordinate clause, it wouldve been fine, but because it was in the main clause, i think it is the error
@mochilate1897 @Wqqqqqq2342 Pretty sure. One of my strategies in writing is to think of the same concept in a different context to see if it sounds right.
For example, “Once common, books containing bad guys became extremely popular.”
The books still contain the bad guys; they didn’t lose their quality of having bad guys.
Sounds right, doesn’t it?
GUYSSSSSSSS
For the question with the rectangle having the perimeter of 40, and the top rectangle’s was 25 and we were to figure out the value of the perimeter for the bottom. What the hell was it? I put 15 and it was way too easy and way too wrong. Can someone explain to me how to solve this problem and what the answer choices were?
@joeweller that sounds right, it was no error then
Hey guys, was that standard from ax + by = c answer C? I don’t remember what I put but I remember the letter. Can anyone confirm?
@mochilate1897 Yeah, try to use that strategy. It’s really helped me because CB wants you to gag on their verbiage which can sometimes be super confusing.
@PartyNextDoor I’m replying to your comment on page 46…lol…but I was the one who said the curves were predetermined and I didn’t mean by the experimental sections we JUST took, but like the CB ranks the difficulty of it based on previous experimental questions of the “same difficulty” and how those test takers did. So that’s why you’ll see people saying “Oh I think this section will have a ___ curve because it was so easy/hard.”
Hey, do you recall the answer to my question regarding the perimeter or the rectangle? Both equaling (Is equaling even a word? Am I supposed to say equating lol???) 40 and the top was 25?
@PartyNextDoor Also from the CB website “Also, the unscored section helps us account for minor differences in difficulty across all the different forms of the test.”
Does anyone know what happens if you skip the entire experimental section?
@isuxatsat101 what was the question more specifically?
guysss was “almost entirely” redundant?
and also for the “whether…is worth the cost” problem, was it no error?
@Wreckdecembersat not redundant; don’t know the second
@Wreckdecembersat I initially assumed it was, however, coincidentally I read an article two days ago the turnpike in Pennsylvania and I immediately remembered “almost entirely” used in the headline. I know, this reason shouldn’t justify for the right answer but I am ALMOST positive that it was not redundant. I can’t remember what the other choices were, if you can refresh my memory, I’ll be able to tell you. I’m pretty confident that if I had chose no error for that one, it was right.
@mochilate1897 There was a rectangle with points abcd. The perimeter as a whole was 40. it was split into two rectangles. (Not divided evenly) And the top rectangle was 25. We had to find out the perimeter for the bottom rectangle, and I wrote 15. However, that must have been too simple as an answer so I am doubtful of it. It was the third to last question.
guys for reading, did anyone have a section with 23 questions?
^ I did
alright, because normally the sections go 24-24-19 but this time mine went 23-24-20
i had two sections that were 35 questions is that normal
