December SAT: Writing

<p>Hi guys does anyone remember anything for writing? I remember it being not too bad... Hmm...</p>

<p>On last problem of last writing section (the short one)... was it interested and even passionate? or interested, even passionate? it was about college students or w/e</p>

<p>i put "become interested, even passionate about" </p>

<p>something like that</p>

<p>I put no change. it should be interested IN.</p>

<p>hmmmmmm......... three different opinions... thats no good..</p>

<p>i also put no change for that one</p>

<p>argh, i knew it was proper grammar with "becoming interested IN", but all the commas made it seem so awkward</p>

<p>None of the characters in _____'s book..... (are) more complex than....</p>

<p>isnt "are" wrong because "none" is a singular noun?</p>

<p>thus, shouldn't "are" be "is", making:</p>

<p>none of the characters.... is more complex...?</p>

<p>exact, but I don't remember the question. Also, it depends on the subject of "are" (it may be other stuff in between)</p>

<p>Did anyone have a writing experimental? I had two 35 minute sections. I'm trying to figure out which was exp; my opening section was a 35 min writing one.</p>

<p>anyone know?</p>

<p>i think its "become interested, even passionate about".</p>

<p>i had a writing experimental. my exp was about a japanese aunt. the real one was about motown.</p>

<p>lets talk about the paragraph. i remember i actually had a keep as is answer. was that one real?</p>

<p>I remember some question that involved comparison, maybe this one is yours azn4eyes.</p>

<p>_______ Agatha Christie's novels more than ____<strong><em>'s, the correct change was putting the person's name with an apostrophe s, since "that of _</em></strong>" is not plural (those).</p>

<p>Shouldnt "in" be maintained, so still A on that last sentence correction?</p>

<p>and i put that one sentence before sentence number 11, i think.</p>

<p>i put become interested and passionate about
i didnt think tthe commas fit in a and b</p>

<p>ok this isnt the exact question, but a good example of it:</p>

<p>None of the characters in Bob's book, Prancing under the Stars, are more complex or more interesting that the character of Lucy.</p>

<p>my question is that isn't the antecedent of "are" "none"?
and if so, is "none" a plural or singular noun, cuz:
singular --> "is"
plural --> "are"</p>

<p>i know that "characters" (which might trick some people into thinking the subject is plural) is not the antecedent because it is contained inside the prepositional phrase "of characters"</p>

<p>i had a no error for the student/mayors one in the last section.</p>

<p>another couple no errors i can remember are the bless me ultima one, and also the lab microscope one.</p>

<p>also, did anyone get a couple ambiguous pronoun errors? i think i did.</p>

<p>it's interested IN and passionate about because it's not right if it's interested, even passionate about because that would mean its saying interested ABOUT and that doesnt make sense. idk do you guys get me? i feel like i sound stupid right now</p>

<p>yeah i get you, except there was no answer choice like that</p>

<p>there was no answer choice like that</p>

<p>Well, there actually was one like that: the original sentence. That's why it's no change (A)</p>

<p>but that one had commas and it might be right but i think that using and sounds the best..i was looking for interested in and passionate about..that would have been the clear choice</p>
