<p>Ok, this is my FINAL post debating this question and then i dont care wat is said or done. YOU ARE DEALIN WITH THE WORD SPECIES in that sentence nick. Yes, all mountain lions are in the same species so one would b ok. In the SAT sentence, we are dealing with the word Animals (Mt. lions are one of the most dangerous animals) and because many mountain lions=many animals, one of simply doesnt work.</p>
<p>Here’s a list of some of the controversial ones and the answers (that I think??? are correct)</p>
<p>Old people “Course of” - No error
Lions “One of” - “One of” incorrect ( so that is the correct answer)</p>
<p>not so sure about these two:</p>
<p>Section 10 #13
A (But…) </p>
<p>Section 10 #14
A (“Were they to be told”)</p>
<p>opinions?</p>
<p>mab- I agree with all of your answers</p>
<p>However, I am still a little hesitant about the by telling vs. were they to be told. You are prbly right though, unfortunately (I put E)</p>
<p>ok I really hope they’re all right
cause I had all those answers :)</p>
<p>Ok folks, we can only debate this so much; it ain’t going to change your score :)</p>
<p>This is why I pledged not to touch these threads until after June 25, and I’ve already broken my pledge lol.</p>
<p>Secret Asian Man-</p>
<p>Same here, but lol after I started to read them yesterday, I couldnt resist. But now I am not gotten even look at this thread anymore.</p>
<p>actually, for the mountain lions question, it was “creatures”, not “animals”, but they are the same thing after all.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yup same here.</p>
<p>Oh wait, whoops.</p>
<p>
Ok good; as long as it wasn’t species then my point is still validated.</p>
<p>are we sure the mark spitz one was “,winning seven…” and not “by winning seven…” i was stuck between those two. :(</p>
<p>i put “winning seven…”, i dunno if its right. also, wat about the Pueblo city with a population of 15 families, wat did you guys get for that one???</p>
<p>Oh I remember that one (not really).
It was by winning seven, wait…hold on I don’t remember what I put. I think I put “by”…if someone could tell me the first part of the sentence, I’ll remember what I put. He blah blah blah by winning 7 medals or was it, He blah blah blah, winning 7 medals. I just kept thinking of Michael Phelps the whole time.</p>
<p>I put “,winning seven” seemed right to me and read better than “by winning…”</p>
<p>Lol I said I wouldn’t post anymore…but wat the heck. I was between “,winning seven” and “by winning seven” and using a comma just made it sound soooo much better that I went with the ,winning seven</p>
<p>I think the correct answer is “winning…”</p>
<p>OH yeah I’m pretty sure I put winning. Thanks @rtgrove. I remember that whole comma thing. YAY</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>“by winning 7” because “, winning” would require, instead of a comma, a colon. “, winning” requires something to connect the dependent clause to the former portion of the sentence.</p>
<p>Does anybody remember stuff from the improving paragraphs, other than “after sentence 13” insert whatever they provided for us?</p>
<p>hey do yall remember a question like:
they were convinced of having no alternative blah blah blah
i put the option that said they were convinced that they would have no alternative…
what do you guys think? i wasnt sure if convinced of is a corrent idiom.</p>
<p>@redcatharsis
There was something that connected them. I just don’t remember the beginning. It was something like “Mark Spitz made US Olympic history” something like that.</p>
<p>Sigh. All no errors I put on the test:</p>
<p>Big section:</p>
<p>3 & 5 for improving: A</p>
<p>Cities, Old people, and “In her novels she wrote…” (This last one was 26, chances are it’s wrong, but I read too far into it. I can explain why I did it later if you want).</p>
<p>Section 10:</p>
<p>8, 13, 14: A</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>For those tangling over that, no.</p>
<p>“mountain lions are one of the most dangerous creatures in…”</p>
<p>That is an exact replication of the portion of the sentence that we care about.</p>
<p>Lions and are designate plural. Creatures is also plural. There was never a mention of species. This discussion is over.</p>
<p>Those who are complaining about piercing teeth: pierced is not the same as piercing. He has a “smoking chimney” means the chimney can “smoke.” The piercing teeth mean that the teeth can pierce. It’s not “pierced teeth,” because obviously, we can use that in the list too (it wouldn’t have been a parallelism error, per se, because it’s something that happened in the past and is correct in and of itself.)</p>
