<h1>12 section 10 should have been B, she and polly…</h1>

<p>The reason was due to the fact that there was a modifier at the beginning of the sentence that only described the girl.</p>

<p>we got different answers? - gasp - but i didn’t think it was the two of them both inspired each other because i thought “both” and “the two” was repetitive</p>

<p>^that one I got b, she and Pollo influenced.
cause you dont say her influenced you say she influenced.</p>

<p>also for the ports one it was like</p>

<p>Shanghai is, along with hong kong, the something port city.</p>

<p>@eagles94: the one with shanghai i put that too.</p>

<p>Does anyone else hate this 60 sec posting rule? I guess it’s to prevent spamming, though.</p>

<p>Shouldn’t the “historically, pop hits 20%” question have been “historically speaking”?</p>

<p>@eagles94
Yeah I got that too.</p>

<p>@likeastarr
Yeah you are probably right.</p>

<p>I answered “Shanghai is” and said “She and Pollack” or whatever instead of “both inspired each other.”</p>

<p>nvm 10char</p>

<p>yeah i realized that after i gave it in.</p>

<p>because the wording “and she and polly” was weird</p>

<p>the 10 problem section 10 is never experimental^</p>

<p>@toby: section 10? yes! the 20,20, and 10 minute sections always count I think.</p>

<p>correct me if i’m wrong.</p>

<p>i got she and pollock influenced as well, does anyone remember the wording for the shanghai one?</p>

<p>that pop star one made no sesne at all lol. here is another one I remember</p>

<ol>
<li>Some man won an amazing marathon in 2004, its (should have been which)</li>
<li>the leopard frog, are (should be is)</li>
<li>the turtle, which hides in their (should be its) shell</li>
<li>the country will definately continue to do so (should be continue to be so)</li>
</ol>

<p>eagles94, i got those 4 answers.</p>

<p>@eagles94</p>

<ol>
<li>yes same</li>
<li>really? Frog is singular I think. I am also pretty sure there was another error in the sentence. </li>
<li>yes same</li>
<li>yes same</li>
</ol>

<p>there can only be one error or none in a sentence, otherwise it’s a bad question :stuck_out_tongue: the frog question one had an error i remember.</p>

<p>@zzzz</p>

<p>my bad lol. it was singular just typed too fast</p>

<p>@likeastarr
I remember it had an error too… but I don’t think “is” was the error. Even though they were referring to “the leopard frog” as a species, it is still singular.</p>

<p>@6z I got those 4, i had leopard frog as singular so i kept it as “is”</p>

<p>I don’t know the exact wording of the question. But I narrowed a question down to “they believed” and “their reasoning behind this was that”. I think I got it wrong… What did you guys get?</p>

<p>@eagles94
Ok… now that makes more sense.</p>
