June 2009 SAT Writing!

<p>but the issue is more</p>

<p>do you take courses of writing</p>

<p>or do you take courses in writing</p>

<p>or are both viable options </p>

<hr>

<p>I’m probably wrong.</p>

<p>Wouldn’t it be:</p>

<p>Course in writing<br>
Courses of writing</p>

<p>Geeze this one question is confusing.</p>

<p>was the question “courseS”? If so, does that mean No error?</p>

<p>and what is the consensus on the last question (Section 10 #14)</p>

<p>i think i picked B but then again i dont remember it</p>

<p>I dont remember it being A or E</p>

<p>mabsjenbu123, that I can not remember. =&lt;/p>

<p>i just remember reading course of writing</p>

<p>^</p>

<p>Okay, I officially think it was course in. =&lt;/p>

<p>LOL I actually kind of remember it being course in too. However, courses of writing would probably work fine too. But anyway who cares, most colleges don’t give a crap about the writing anyway = D.</p>

<p>so u guys think it was worded “course in” on the test? or ru saying that “courses of” is incorrect?</p>

<p>the test said course of</p>

<p>It deffiently had of in it.</p>

<p>What maters is if it was courses or course to determine the correct answer, I think.</p>

<p>Edit: then yeah, I suppose the correct answer was A.</p>

<p>I thought the question was</p>

<p>“After taking many courseS of …”</p>

<p>how would it be worded if it was “course of”</p>

<p>^
I believe, as I stated on page 19, it’s courses of or course in. Three people have said that “course” was used instead of “courses” so if this is true then that was wrong. The answer would have been A because “course of” (what is supposedly what it is said to be) should be “course in.”</p>

<p>Okay! I’m over this question now, lol.</p>

<p>I am 99.999% sure the test said courseS plural not singular coursE. I just didn’t remember the “of” part at all - are we saying it might not have been of? I’m confused now lol</p>

<p>yeah I remember it being courseS</p>

<p>^ well in that case it would be E (I think, if what I’m saying is right). =) I hope you are correct that it was courses, lol.</p>

<p>deleted…nvm…</p>

<p>so is it 100% that the 13th question in section 10 was E (“however”) and not A ("but) </p>

<p>I put A cause I thought it made it shorter than E</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>So what was the sentence for the city one?</p>

<p>It is most certainly not 100%. Nobody seems to be paying attention to the fact that however followed a comma and this is not allowed -that would be a comma splice. You need a semicolon. Sentence was something like:</p>

<p>So and so started a company, but she later left it because…</p>

<p>If you had “however,” it couldn’t be:</p>

<p>So and so started a company, however, she later left it because</p>

<p>That’s a run-on.</p>

<p>It would have to be, if “however” was used:</p>

<p>So-and-so started a company; however, she later left it because…</p>

<p>Independent clauses need semi-colons.</p>

<p>Therefore A was correct (original sentence).</p>

<p>there was no comma before the but in the original sentence
does that make it wrong lol</p>
