<p>the supreme court one had a blatant error later on.</p>
<p>Having passed it so easily in the state legislature, the supreme court stopped it.</p>
<p>That is what using "having passed" does to the sentence. It implies that the Supreme Court passes laws when it doesn't!</p>
<p>I think we beat this question to death. I'm pretty sure it's which. Did we ever come to a consensus on the composer question? Should it be more or most?</p>
<p>It should be more cause it said "either ... or ... "</p>
<p>And what about the very last question on the test?
The that compared the crowds... A ended in "had been" but E seemed okay too :/</p>
<p>@thequestionmark</p>
<p>Sorry, in my earlier post I meant the supreme court is stopping it.</p>
<p>But anyways, I don't think there was an "it" after having passed.</p>
<p>"Having passed so easily in the state legislature, it was a surprise that the Supreme Court stopped the new law."</p>
<p>It is still clear that the state legislature passed the law.</p>
<p>At this point I think I might be butchering the sentence too much though, but I was pretty convinced the answer was having at the time. :/</p>
<p>for the state legislature one, I picked whichever was the original one. is that correct?</p>
<p>What was the answer to the very last problem in section 10, the one with the World Fair in Paris?
People are saying A or E</p>
<p>The very last question was E. I'm pretty sure. Even though it's more redundant, it avoids saying "they had been larger" (different syntax, same meaning), which is grammatically wrong.</p>
<p>what did E say?</p>
<p>something like "in comparison to those in the World Fair in Paris"</p>
<p>"Having passed so easily in the state legislature, it was a surprise that the Supreme Court stopped the new law."

1. You can't just reword questions in the way you see fit, it has to apply to original context.
2. I'm not even sure if this arrangement is correct. What's it? If "it" is "the passing of the law"... it just sounds terrible.</p>
<p>Okay, so I don't think we've arrived at a consensus on Hagia Sophia yet, right?</p>
<p>It was something like this:</p>
<p>"Hagia Sophia renovated by the Sultan something was celebrated not so much for its architecture but because of its blue ceramic tiles."</p>
<p>Is "Because of" faulty parallelism/improper idiom? I thought that it should be "but for." I don't know that something can be celebrated "because of" something. But it also could've been no error or something I just didn't see.</p>
<p>BTW: Because of was answer choice C.</p>
<p>For the world fair one, I too was torn between A and E. I recall something about 1/5 of the questions not having any errors. Almost none of the Identifying sentence errors questions were free of errors.</p>
<p>I choose A.</p>
<p>For the Hagia Sophia question I also choose C for faulty parallelism.</p>
<p>"not so much for its architecture but for its blue ceramic tiles" is how it should be written.</p>
<p>I pretty clearly remember the "it" after "having passed"....but maybe I'm mistaken.</p>
<p>I believe I chose A for the world fair one. I don't remember being really conflicted on that, the sentence seemed solid as it was.</p>
<p>how odd. i remember being so confident about the world fair one, it was the last question and iw as like hell yeah i just got a perfect on this section - i put A. but now im sort of concerned</p>
<p>@van_sant
I think I put the same thing lol. I picked the choice that had the word "its" in it. (hagia sophia)</p>
<p>I put A for the world fair one.
I actually remember getting a couple of A's :o</p>
<p>yes! thats right--yeah im pretty sure mosque question was C.</p>
<p>I said but for for Hagia Sofia.</p>
<p>So is the consensus A for the fair one? Cause that's what I put :P</p>
