<p>i put no error for mountain lions, doesnt the piecing teeth fit with the rest of the parallelism?</p>

<p>the caricature one i put the one where there was a singular/plural verb error</p>

<p>what did you guys put for the mexican nobel peace prize winner? i had to pick between two</p>

<p>what about the D-Day question? was it “Due to the effects of the storm postponing it…” or “Having been postponed by the storm,…” or something else…</p>

<p>and i put A for the last question, it may have sounded weird but it was the only one that fit with the rest of the sentence, E didn’t really fit with the rest of the sentence</p>

162

<p>But i dont understand.</p>

<p>Mountain lions are one species?</p>

<p>If you had to say that dont you say:</p>

<p>Mountain lions are one group of lions? </p>

<hr>

<p>That’s what I was thinking while taking the test…</p>

163

<p>I mean i could be totally wrong.</p>

<p>but when I do “tigers are some” and “tigers are one” the latter appears way more…</p>

<p>infact, it has “siberian tigers are one of the most endangered species” on a scholastic website (pretty big website)</p>

<p>And this was a smilar questione except replace siberian tigers=mountain lions.</p>

<p>this is especially true if you are talking about a CERTAIN type of that animal. its “one of”</p>

164

<p>There wasn’t 5 no errors. It was more like 3/4</p>

165

<p>Ya 3 errors</p>

<p>the city one
the one about old people
the mountain lions one (i think its still no error even if its one of…i think thats correct way to describe a certain type of species)</p>

<p>the appears one was an error…i dont think there were any other tricky ones.</p>

<p>The D-Day one was “Having been delayed because of adverse weather conditions…”</p>

<p>“Due…” sounded correct to but I dont see a problem with ^</p>

166

<p>which one was the one about old people</p>

<p>does anybody remember it</p>

167

<p>1232cricket-</p>

<p>I see what you are saying. However, lions is plural and one is singular. So, it has to be an error.</p>

<p>On the castle one, I guess I disagree with the CC consensus. It said that the city surrounds the walls; however, should the walls surround the city. So, did anyone say surrounds was wrong?</p>

168

<p>I put one of because mountain lions was plural.</p>

169

<p>i had 3 no errors, city and castles one, old people one, and mountain lions</p>

<p>i picked Due to… for the D Day one because i thought that was like active voice or something while having been… was passive? idk</p>

170

<p>for the essay i only used examples in literature… in anna karenina and crime and punishment</p>

<p>i got quite a couple of no change (A) and no errors (E)
for the taking a nap, i put no change</p>

<p>ALSO-- for the question about old men in their eighties writing about how they lived long ago, i put no error</p>

171

<p>

</p>

<p>My experimental (gorilla) was 6. My 2 was parrots, real. It differs.</p>

172

<p>wg…I don’t remember that question…was it on experimental?</p>

173

<p>yeah i got no error for the castel/conway/walls question…i was going to say that “it” was too ambiguous but it couldnt really refer to anything else but conway,wales-- so i put no error.</p>

174

<p>oh i picked A for the old people writing</p>

<p>i thought they used an incorrect preposition i think thought it should have said course in wiriting instead of i think course of writing</p>

<p>i forget what it said originally</p>

<p>it said old people take a course of writing</p>

<p>i thought it should have said old people take a course in writing</p>

<p>because course of writing, doesn’t that mean while writing</p>

<p>while course in actually refers to teh class</p>

175

<p>hmm i might have gotten an experimental…i had a passage about a parrot named alex in the last section of the writing (correcting the essay)</p>

<p>that kinda sucks…i did well on the experimental…</p>

176

<p>What was the city one that is apparently a no error?</p>

177

<p>what was the essay prompt again?</p>

178

<p>courses in?</p>

<p>i think the error was either in “in their eighties” or “long ago”… not sure, dont remember much of the first part of the sentence.</p>

179

<p>sry if this has already been discussed, but wat is the consensus to the pasta answer again?</p>

180

<p>

</p>

<p>No, that was real. </p>

<p>But it was such a stupid paragraph. Hahahaha</p>
