<p>@havingfun…although “speak” makes much more sense and is widely used…“used” is not incorrect. </p>
<p>saying that a certain form of english is used by an Indian middle-class makes perfect sense.</p>
<p>you have to locate actual grammatical errors in error id’s…not attempt to make the sentence sound better.</p>
<p>Ah well, -1 on the writing section then. Thanks for the replies!</p>
<p>the answer to the first one on section 10 was “was able to”</p>
<p>just something I remember off the top of my head lol.</p>
<p>OK, my essay question was are moderations obstacles to success?</p>
<p>and I said yes,</p>
<p>gave an example of Hamlet, where he didnt fully pursue to revenge for his father, and was restrained and moderate in his actions, which eventually not only made him fail his task, but also resulted in the fall of Denmark</p>
<p>2nd example was the turn of the screws from Henry james…said that the governess did not fully pursue her goals in trying to identify the ghosts reality …and she was lenient and restrained in her actions, she eventually failed to succeed in trying to achieve her goals…is this out of topic?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>^ I wouldn’t say those were off topic.</p>
<p>yeah…i guess i kinda couldnt find right examples that i just tried to fit in random novels i read …recently…hope i get a 10+/…i did fill out the whole 2 pages…</p>

<p>does anybody remember one of the first 3 error ids that used a form of the word “write”. It was wrote or written I think. Was this the error and if not then does anybody remember the question or correct answer? This might have been experimental
any help appreciated</p>
