<h2>It will be on the easy side probably in the 3rd or 4th slot.</h2>

<p>I’m leaving guys - someone else keep the List updated.<br>
I give up on CR…3rd and final time taking SAT and I still cant break 700…yet I have gotten 800s on the other 2 sections already…doesn’t make sense why I suck so much…
Guess I’ll stick with my ACT Score then(35)
But on the bright side I never have to take another SAT test again. In my life. Yessssss.</p>

<p>Good Luck on the scores everyone. I’ve got to move on to APs.</p>

<p>sorry but can someone answer my question about what the sentence was for nominal?</p>

<p>it was collective for the diamond passage I think, for the lawyer wanted to know how EACH person was PERSONALLY involved with the diamond, deeming him able to retrace steps in hopes of recovering the diamond.</p>

<p>sorry faith, i dont remember</p>

<p>oh by the way, since there seems to be a discrepancy between “moment of perplexity” and “growing sense of alarm”. I want to mention that beatleridge was confused the entire damn time, so it couldn’t be just a moment of perplexity-- it was a more prolonged period of befuddlement.</p>

<p>it wasnt collective. he wanted the butler (narrator) to write it all.</p>

<p>@jetscm4ev, no he explictly said that he wanted everyone to write a personal account</p>

<p>@gthopeful: no, the lawer wanted everyone to write the part he was aware of, no more.</p>

<p>right on the money aljhori</p>

<p>Something about didnt want to leave it up to hearsay in the diamond passage. I remember getting that as an answer.</p>

<p>@lucerivita</p>

<p>the answer choice your statement referred to is A, if that helps anyone</p>

<p>the other conflicting choice was C</p>

<p>@faith17
the nominal sentence was something about a book and the title had something to do with parrots, but really it was about humans</p>

<p>^yeah, that was the one with speculate. i got that too</p>

<p>wasn’t that ostensibly?</p>

<p>what about when he said that the butler had been through it all? he said he wanted it from him.</p>

<p>Something about didnt want to leave it up to hearsay in the diamond passage. I remember getting that as an answer. Can anyone confirm this, Im pretty sure I didnt see it on the consolidated list.</p>

<p>no the parrot one was “ostensibly”. I do not remember the sentence about nominal</p>

<p>he said he wanted the butler to write his own account because he knew it well but i distinctly remember the passage stating that they should write no more than what they know therefore each person must write only what they remember and compile it</p>

<p>@faith17
um…yes, yes it was. forget what i said…i don’t remember the nominal sentence.</p>
