<p>What letter choice was that answer with the comma? What was the first question apple?</p>

<p>^^ I put the title in between commas. But not everyone did, apparently, if you refer back to the beginning of the thread.
I believe it was the 3rd page…</p>

<p>Title of essays between commas, nickname only in quotations.</p>

<p>@RivalDestiny there definitely was an answer completely without commas.</p>

<p>^ Yup, that’s what I did.</p>

<p>I put them between commas.</p>

<p>wait where were u supposed to put commas enclosing a title?</p>

<p>in the first question of the entire act</p>

<p>The first question was enclosed in commas because it was nonessential to the sentence. It was her **first book of essays<a href=“or%20something%20like%20that”>/b</a>. Because there can only be one “first,” it was obvious that it was nonessential.</p>

<p>do u remember the exact wording?</p>

<p>The only part of the exact wording that I remember (and the only part that truly matters) is the word “first.” Because it was her first, it is unneeded to know the title. There is only one first, so offsetting it (or even removing it) would not confuse readers.</p>

<p>I thought for sure that no one else had done what I did with the quotations (2 commas surrounding the title) but now I see that others have done the same. Gives me some hope that I can still get a 36…</p>

<p>By the basis of your arguments against mine, specifically for the reading section, I would say that you definitely have a chance. It’s been good debating answers and explanations with you, friend!</p>

<p>Was it ingeniously or cleverly employed resourcefulness</p>

<p>Same, skaggs. Your arguments are definitely intriguing, and I definitely would not be too surprised to find that you were right on those reading questions. After all, I could just be contouring the passage to fit the answers that I had given.</p>

<p>I put ingeniously. “Cleverly employed resourcefulness” nearly matches the definitely of ingeniously, “cleverly and originally devised and well suited to its purpose.” Plus, the wording seemed redundant.</p>

<p>Thanks, alihaq717. I think that either way, one question for the both of us won’t make too much of a difference…at least on CR.</p>

<p>Remembered a question:</p>

<p>Which of the following best emphasizes the point that the explorer returned in the year 1900? </p>

<p>A. as it is. (“Upon his return the following year,”)</p>

<p>Did you all put that as well? The others seemed wordy and inefficient.</p>

<p>That is what I put. If I remember correctly, it was a no change.</p>

<p>Good. That was the only one that I second-guessed myself.</p>

<p>Where did you all put the sentence about the dog, Red?</p>

<p>“She tried as hard as she could, barking for him to return.”</p>

<p>I put it at the end of the paragraph, if I remember correctly.</p>

<p>Yeah. I kept it (“upon…”).</p>
