My Progress Thread

<p>

</p>

<p>I missed this one and I forget the exact explanation I got; however, I believe the sentence lacks a verb and the only underlined part that could be made a verb is “flying low” and it should be corrected to “flew low.”</p>

<p>I assure you that flying is a verb. :P</p>

<p>And as for the problem that you quoted, I simply solved it by assuming that one side was 4 and the other 6. The smaller triangle, then, has an area of 3 and the larger an area of 12. The trapezoid would then have an area of 9, resulting in an overall proportion of 9/12 or 3/4.</p>

<p>You can assume that QS = 1/2 PT because the respective triangles to which the sides belong share the three angles and two sides - there is only one possible value for QS.</p>

<p>True but it’s not a finite verb and it has no main clause.
[Let</a> me google that for you](<a href=“LMGTFY - Let Me Google That For You”>LMGTFY - Let Me Google That For You)</p>

<p>So it’s one of the side angle side rules? I should brush up on those. Thanks for the explanation. Sorry mine is lackluster; hopefully Jefferey can come and save me.</p>

<p>Ohhh mannnnn… it makes so much sense in retrospect. Thanks!</p>

<ol>
<li>The sides are all halved. (Ratio of the sides)</li>
<li>Triangle inequality rule states that the third side must be greater than the difference of the other two, but less than the sum.</li>

<p>Dear diary:</p>

<p>There are 9 days to the January 28th SAT administration. I have finished the Princeton 11 Tests book (I did all the math sections). I still need to tremendously improve my CR, W, and M, and from here on out, I will be using only official tests. </p>

<p>Godspeed,</p>

<p>IceQube</p>

<p>I have several grammar questions:</p>

<p>1) The requirement for a healthful vegetarian diet during childhood and adolescence is sufficient iron and plenty of protein from plant, rather than animal, sources. </p>

<p>b) To have a healthful vegetarian diet during childhood and adolescence it requires
c) A healthful vegetarian diet during childhood and adolescence requires
d) In healthful vegetarian diets during childhood and adolescence is required
e) As for healthful vegetarian diet during childhood and adolescence </p>

<p>Is it just me, but are all of the answer choices WRONG? “Sufficient iron and plenty of protein” is a compound, and thus plural, subject.</p>

<p>2) The requirements for becoming an astronaut is knowledge of physics and physical fitness rather than simple bravery and a sense of adventure. </p>

<p>b) An astronaut, it requires
c) The job of an astronaut requires
d) In becoming an astronaut is required
e) As for becoming an astronaut </p>

<p>Again, there is a compound subject, and all the answer choices appear WRONG. Can someone corroborate my allegations, or am I just seeing things?</p>

<p>What about C? C seems correct. The subject is “diet”.</p>

<p>I’m thinking C for both.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Why would it be C? How can you use “requires” (singular) with “sufficient iron and plenty of protein” (plural subject)?</p>

<p>Or maybe the subject is indeed “diet.” Can you explain why the subject is “diet”?</p>

<p>I don’t think I understand why you think “sufficient iron and plenty of protein” is a plural subject. I think the answer is C for both as well. :)</p>

<p>I think I get it now. “Sufficient iron and plenty of protein” is the object of the subject “diet.” </p>

<p>“A healthful vegetarian diet (subject) during childhood and adolescence requires (subject-verb agreement) sufficient iron and plenty of protein (object) from plant, rather than animal, sources.” </p>

<p>Ha - my idiotic questions up there just show how dumb I can be sometimes :p.</p>

<p>It’s like saying: Getting a 2400 takes time, dedication, and a little bit of (or a lot of) luck.</p>

<p>I too got C for both answers. However, for the second question what exactly is wrong with answer choice E?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Haha - I forgot I was speaking English up there for a second and suddenly started thinking of some weird kind of object-verb agreement rule that doesn’t exist in English … bleh … </p>

<p>Your example sentence which I quoted is correct because the subject is “getting a 2400” and the subject is singular and the verb “takes” is also singular. The object is plural, but in English, that doesn’t matter :p.</p>

<p>1) The requirement for a healthful vegetarian diet during childhood and adolescence is sufficient iron and plenty of protein from plant, rather than animal, sources.</p>

<p>b) To have a healthful vegetarian diet during childhood and adolescence it requires (sounds weird)
c) A healthful vegetarian diet during childhood and adolescence requires (Pretty good)
d) In healthful vegetarian diets during childhood and adolescence is required (“Diets” and “is”, subject-verb disagreement)
e) As for healthful vegetarian diet during childhood and adolescence (sounds weird)</p>

<p>ANd wow, I feel bad for separating your comments :c</p>

<p>^ Answer choice E reads: </p>

<p>As for becoming an astronaut knowledge of physics and physical fitness rather than simple bravery and a sense of adventure. </p>

<p>There is literally no verb in the sentence.</p>

<p>I love to quote this…

In English, the verb agrees with the subject, not the predicate.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You got it :D! </p>

<p>And thanks for the voluminous amount of help guys :D. </p>

<p>I started making flashcards for tricky grammar questions in the PR 11 tests books. Check them out here :D: </p>
