*****MAY 2015 INTERNATIONAL SAT*****

Sorry,Could you tell me,please if that section in math was experimental where there was a task something with answer 21 multiply,22,23,24,25 smth like this?

But grammatically speaking “could with” was the best because it honored the correct tense

I chose that. It was the best suited one. @whereami10

I just wanna make sure if the as picasso id error was on the experimental or not?

@Hannah69 I think it was, not sure though

did you have inhibitions for one of the questions on cr?

I hate experimental sections :confused: anyways what other questions were tricky? @whereami10

@whereami10 the question was:
The new instruments are used by musicians who can master them with more ease “than with” traditional instruments

I did not have an inhibitions on the cr? What was your experimental? @whereami10

@Hannah69 Mine was writing section 3… And yours?.. One other option was something like “ebb ad flow”

@ZGMFX42SDestiny to me that is no parallel structure. Take off all the non-essential clauses and replace the antecedents. Musicians can practice new instruments (with more ease) then they could with traditional instruments.

OHHH yes! It was the 2 passages thing. Id remember them.
I had writing for experimental too. It was the one with the ambassador to France id error. @whereami10

There was a would somewhere in the sentence, he missed that as well.

Yes @whereami10 it wasn’t a comparison with the instruments it was the degree of performance of the musicians

The new instruments are used by musicians who can master them with more ease “than with” traditional instruments
The correct sentence should read “The new instruments are used by musicians who can master them with more ease “than they can” traditional instruments.”.

“The new instruments are used by musicians who can master them with more ease “than they can with” traditional instruments” doesn’t make sense because “with” doesn’t belong to “the traditional instruments”, it belongs to “more ease”. And since there is no parallel for “more ease” in the second part of the sentence, “with” should be omitted.

@gegri123 I think there is some kind of exception ? In the verb tense case

I can practice with a pen more efficiently than I could with a pencil. Actually can would sound odd.

Since its a comparison, it is not really a verb tense thing? Idk

“the ebb and flow” question was a line question for the depressed actors passage and I think the answer was "a sense of recklesness and irresponsibilty.

@Hannah69 That isn’t really a comparable sentence. A comparable sentence would be “I can write a letter with more ease than I can an essay.” And “can” sounds applicable to me. But I’m pretty positive that “with” doesn’t make sense.
