November 2008 SAT Writing

<p>thnx guys. Was that the one w/ all the idioms? I can't remember...</p>

<p>^ i had a colon for that one.</p>

<p>No, eastern europe I left as is. I don't remember seeing a colon...</p>

<p>i had an extra writing section, so can you tell me if this question was in the experimental one or not:</p>

<p>it was the one about Napoleon -- After napoleon discovered Josephine had betrayed him, he would not let almost anything stand in his way, yadda yadda..</p>

<p>this was on my section 5, which i thought was much more tricky than section 2 (i can't remember which one the soap opera one was a part of, otherwise i'd have it figured out by now)</p>

<p>I think choice (A) had a colon (so left as is would be with a colon?)</p>

<p>there was a colon in the original sentence for eastern europe</p>

<p>eastern europe: in Hungary</p>

<p>but it doesn't seem like a colon fits in this sentence</p>

<p>Peytoncline - 5 was experimental. :)</p>

<p>Peytoncline -- that must be experimental, because I didn't have it. I had an extra math grid-in for section 5, so maybe that was the experimental one across the board.</p>

<p>For Eastern Europe, I said no error because all the rest of the choices were even worse.</p>

<p>;still in</p>

<p>seemed fine to me...</p>

<p>yeah, I left hungrary as is. So I guess that included a colon, lol</p>

<p>For the last section, there was a question that said, "The farmers whose crops helped in the development of ancient cities....."</p>

<p>What was the answer? I put "who helped, through the growth of crops, in the development of..." or something...</p>

<p>And, for the soap opera one, was one of the answers, "The first soap opera was ...."</p>

<p>I think I left the farmer one as is, too</p>

<p>when you put a colon, the word behind it should be capitalized though.</p>

<p>wow if ETS is testing us on capitalizing letters they should go **** themselves</p>

<p>Wow. I don't think they test capitalization. Thar's like, soooo third grade. :)</p>

<p>I put no error for the farmers/peasants.</p>

<p><a href="A">Because</a> of the weather in Arizona, Bethe enjoyed her stay [there] B, even though she <a href="C">hadn't wanted to stay</a> so far away from her family. (E) NO Error</p>

<p>Answer?</p>

<p>No Error.</p>

<p>10char</p>

<p>E) NO ERROR</p>

<p>I agree that it sounds weird as hell with B, but there is nothing gramatically wrong with the sentence.</p>

<p>Couldn't it be C? Shouldn't it be "she didn't want to stay?"</p>
