<p>I just took the Oct07 test and I am still wondering about this question.</p>
<p>"Because traffic was unusually heavy, Jim arrived ten minutes later for his job interview even though he had [ran desperately] all the way from the bus stop."</p>
<p>Why is [ran desperately] wrong? Isn't it an adverb modifying a verb?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I believe the verb tense is wrong. Run desperately sounds correct to me. Others: am I right?</p>
<p>Since there's a had, it shoiuld be he had run desperately. If there wasn't a had, then it'd be ran desperately. </p>
<p>He had swum, had begun...</p>
<p>Yes: had run.</p>
<p>Oh...I guess I need to get those weird verbs and tenses down...</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>^ Yuppers!</p>
<p>Had run!!!!</p>
<p>(sorry, I'm on a sugar high)</p>
<p>Speaking of the Oct 07 test..... any guesses as to the relative difficulty of the June test coming up? I felt that on the Oct07 the CR was harder than usual, the math was super easy, and the writing was avg/easy.</p>
