<p>Also, can anyone specifically name the no errors? They were firefly, historically, and_____?</p>

<p>for the firefly one, the wording was “located on” the abdomen or something like that
shouldn’t it be “located in”?</p>

<p>@dlee
Was it really? If that’s the case, definitely sounds like an error. Ahh I give up</p>

<p>yea i am definitely sure it said “located on”</p>

<p>Was the one about “economy to do so/to be so” experimental? I just dont remember an identify the error question about that</p>

<p>no its not experimental. the answer should be “be so”</p>

<p>anyone know the answer to my question for fireflies?</p>

<p>shouldn’t it be located in? (as opposed to on)</p>

<p>guess for the nonetheless one i just left it as is. because nonetheless usually means like “in spite of that” or it disregards the last sentence. the sentence before was something like preservation should be more important than access. inexperienced college students, nonetheless, were assumed to not need access to these rare documents or something like that</p>

<p>For the students with old books, I put broad generalization.</p>

<p>What about the musical experts question in which the experct predict popular songs but only 20% actually become hits? Was it no error or the “like xxxx”? I put the “like xxxx” because it didn’t seem right.</p>

<p>i put broad for the nonetheless question as well</p>

<p>^^ I put no error for the musical experts one.</p>

<p>For the old books w/ college students question I chose broadly speaking. I don’t think any of the other choices were really qualified by the sentence before it. For me, the decision was between the choices of nonetheless, in particular, and broadly speaking. If you used the word nonetheless, the sentence before it would have to be something like “librarians claimed that the fragile documents were a valuable source of information” (or some other benefit of using the documents) to qualify a contrasting word like nonetheless. If using the word in particular, the prior sentence would need to be along the lines of “the librarians did not trust people with such fragile books” in order to qualify using in particular, which specifies.</p>

<p>For the music experts and the 20% of musicians being successful question, that was no error right? So there were three errors:</p>

<p>-the one mentioned in my post
-fireflies
-historically…</p>

<p>@hkim
what was “the one mentioned in my post” specifically? lol</p>

<p>cuz… if u were talking bout the music experts… “music expert” and “historically” are the same question… right?</p>

<p>@Yutainaba: Are they same question?! Lol I forgot!!</p>

<p>I can’t edit that post now! :(</p>

<p>lol yeh, i think so… it goes all like, “historically, 20% of music experts predicted ~~” </p>

<p>ughh i really want to know what last NOERROR was… cuz i remember i put 3 no errors…</p>

<p>and i only remember fireflies/historically T.T</p>

<p>For the pollock one, could it have been “the two of them both…” because it was one sentence and I thought it was redundant to say “she and pollock”</p>

<p>Think it was redundant to say “the two of them” and “both”?</p>

<p>I thought it was the lesser of two evils. I feel like that is a grey area answer. And. Feel like that’s the only one keeping me from an 800. :-/. Does anyone remember all the revising paragraphs answers?</p>

<p>I also put the two of them both, not sure tho :/</p>

<p>She also has the last name of pollock, so isn’t it vague?</p>
