March 2012 SAT I Writing Thread

<p>Now I’m confused. I was pretty sure I had an experimental writing section (about taste of food vs. perception of food), but I don’t recall anything about treasures. Can someone clarify this “treasures” passage?</p>

<p>The “Bach” was wrong as it was parallel to “SomeOtherComposer’s musical works”. Right?</p>

<p>There can different versions for the experimental section. Only thing that is important is knowing that the one with lawn/pesticides was the one that counted.</p>

<p>@novelidea</p>

<p>I think the answer was the lawns filled aesthetic purposes.</p>

<p>Also, did the question after that have “moreover?” It was talking about how people who didn’t want to garden bought pricey professional services.</p>

<p>to those who had the treasure paragraph, was that the one with several c’s?</p>

<p>@Niceboat
Thanks for clarifying. I always thought that there was only one version of an experimental section.</p>

<p>What was the error identification sentence with the phrase “back(s) to the audience?” Did you have a plural for “back” or not.</p>

<p>I put plural backs as there were multiple dancers and it matched if you took out the text between the commas.</p>

<p>@Prophyaxis
I got the one with moreover in it. My other option was the one that said “In fact,…” but I thought “moreover” worked better.</p>

<p>what did anyone say for the sentence revision question that had choices like:</p>

<p>but_____
,however,____</p>

<p>@SATMaster13.</p>

<p>the answer is ,but____</p>

<p>because ,however,_____ causes a comma splice since the however creates an independent clause, which needs a semi colon.</p>

<p>also, what did people get for the question that was like this:</p>

<p>At the zoo, the monkeys were the ones that Maria enjoyed [to see most.]
At the zoo, the monkeys were the ones that Maria enjoyed [seeing most.]</p>

<p>^ it was seeing most</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the answer to around the 5th question in the 35 section, it was about a boxer and then writing a book about someone?</p>

<p>Okay, it’s probably been answered already but I had the most trouble with that one correction one that went “That we needed to improve our level of game” or something, and one of the options was “Our needing to improve our level of game.” I ultimately kept it the same but I’m pretty unsure about it.</p>

<p>@mybmanglass</p>

<p>yeah it was "would become something and write a bio of muhammad ali.</p>

<p>@Dez
experimental section?</p>

<p>@eagles94</p>

<p>ok thanks, i think i put that. I was just confused because i think there was another choice that sounded better, but there was a comma splice at the end of the sentence.</p>

<p>do you know the answer for the one about witness and accident i put because…</p>

<p>the witness one was definately “because we had witnessed” since its a cause effect relationship</p>
