<p>the first question is </p>
<p>the architect's research shows that even when builders (construct) houses (of stone), they (still) use the hammer more than (any tool).</p>
<p>the answer is D </p>
<p>the sec. question is </p>
<p>the television station (has received) many complaints (about) the clothing advertisements, (which some) viewers condemn (to be) tasteless.</p>
<p>the answer is D</p>
<p>The first one:
my instinct is to say that it should be “any other tool.”</p>
<p>second one: “to be” changed into “being”</p>
<p>Risubu’s right: it’s “any other tool” because “any tool” also includes the hammer itself which is illogical. They’re referring to any others besides the hammer which the architects do not want.</p>
<p>For the second question, change “to be” to “as”. The correct idiom is “condemn as”.

<p>Stay away from “being” on the SAT unless you are sure that “being” is correct.</p>
<p>thanks guys that really helped</p>
<p>So wait when do you use being on the SAT? And I’m so sorry I made the mistake satfreak ^</p>
<p>“Being” will usually be an incorrect choice on the SAT. Finding the word “being” used correctly on CB tests can be challenging. </p>

<p>I would have to look around hard before I can find “being” used correctly on a CB test.</p>
