<p>informed: by telling them, the participents blah blah…</p>
<p>the city one was about Conway, Wales…it had an ambiguous pronoun SO I THOUGHT, but i ended up putting no error because the pronoun was singular and city was the only singular noun in the sentence</p>
<p>what is the interested in question???</p>
<p>So if the mountain lion is indeed wrong and so is courses of…</p>
<p>and if interest is wrong (i think it is you cant say interest…withiout the proper prep phrase)</p>
<p>then there was only 1 E which was the city one.</p>
<p>RTgrove, unfortuntely this isnt a test on logic. Collegeboard will never give you a question that tests your logic…just sentence structure…thats why this test is very dangerous…you cant let your own personal bias affect the problem (it doesnt matter how they surround-that is irrelevant).</p>
<p>Rtgrove: the sentence says that walls USED to surround Conway, which NOW surrounds the wall</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I saw this answer, and I considered it for a bit… However, “telling” in this case would be the action done by the participants, would it not? I thought, though, that the participants are the ones being told. But I really don’t know, I think I chose a stupid answer anyway…</p>
<p>WHAT IS THE INTEREST QUESTION? can someone give me the context??</p>
<p>…i thought i did sooo well on the writing, but it was kind of weird getting 4ish no errors.</p>
<p>did people get a couple of A/no correction in the sentence part??</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I thought the old people was “E”?</p>
<p>Dang so i guess I missed one…you think the scale will be generous on this test</p>
<p>-I had E on the old ppl one and I guess the city one was ok 2</p>
<p>i just thought that</p>
<p>takes a course of writing isn’t non standard english</p>
<p>the of should have been an in</p>
<p>idfactor, i see what you are saying…crap.</p>
<p>what did you put? i cant remember the other choices but they sounded awkward to me</p>
<p>THIS FORUM MAKES ME FEEL HORRIBLE. according to consensus, i have gotten three-four wrong so far-- which is a lot compared to the previously assumed ZERO.</p>
<p>Honestly, I thought this was easy despite there being some really unclear answers. So, I doubt the curve will be generous.</p>
<p>Hahaha… I actually remember all the choices (sort of… these are kinda paraphrased…):
A-Were it to be told to them
B- If they would have been told
C-With it being told to them (i think)
D-Telling them
E-By telling them</p>
<p>I picked C. I know its probably really dumb, but I marked D and E out immediately. I also marked A and B out because of the tense of the rest of the sentence (which was present tense). I couldn’t see how A and B and the past and conditional tense, respectively, could line up correctly with the rest of the sentence… So, by just marking them out, I went with C… I then realized that C seemed like a horribly worded answer, but before I could change it, time had ended.</p>
<p>so is there any consensus on the following?</p>
<p>Something with “interest in” or just “interest” - which one was correct </p>
<p>it was like " demonstrated an interest (in) and a ____ for</p>
<p>what about the 2nd to last question on section 10 - was A correct? - it did not use “however” and used “but”</p>
<p>And for the last question, I put A (“were…”) because I thought the “them” in “By Them” (Choice E) was referring to the wrong thing. -</p>
<p>I have no clue what question you are talking about Id, but wouldn’t it be D or E?</p>
<p>If it was that sentence wouldn’t it be in^
I dunno’ I skipped that one.</p>
<p>@zap idk not really sure it was “demonstrated” tho</p>
<p>@Idfactor I put A.</p>
<p>I put A too for IdFactor’s question. And I put “interest IN”; with the parallelism it didn’t make sense because the second half of the sentence had “verb FOR” and “interest for” isn’t idiomatic at all. Also I put “Having been delayed” for the D-Day question. I don’t remember my “in their eighties” answer at all though.</p>
<p>ohh THAT interest question!..it needed an IN because it was something like “demonstrated an interest in and a blank for” i think you need in for parallelism or else you’re saying demonstrated an interest and a blank for…and interest FOR doesn’t sound right.</p>
<p>i still think it is “by telling them”…even though it is kind of a misplaced modifier and kind of ambiguous.
i feel like i’ve seen writing that uses a pronoun before it names the antecedent, though.</p>
<p>It’s interested in. That’s the proper idiom.</p>
<p>for the participants question, i think the other choices are a bit wordy…</p>
