November 2009 WRITING (US only)

<p>ah i agree, but i thought it was because it feared. out of fearing seemed too awkward to me</p>

<p>yeah out of fearing seems really awkward…but it just has to be grammatically correct.
i was hesitant in putting because it feared because of the ambiguous “it”</p>

<p>uh oh yeah, that’s true. hope i didn’t miss that one, i should get off this site… it’s just making me worried</p>

<p>Anyone remember an ID error where “formerly” was underlined? It was something about how the candidate didn’t “formerly” announce her decision to run in the election or something. I can’t remember if I put no error of if i marked that one for a diction error. Anyone else get that? It might have been in the EXP section.</p>

<p>I got that one, but I had a writing experimental.</p>

<p>nope, not experimental and “formerly” was the correct answer, should’ve been “formally.”</p>

<p>What did you put? I was nervous about marking it because we hardly ever see diction errors, but I thought it should have been “formally” not “formerly”.</p>

<p>For the excessive hunting one, I don’t remember the exact choice but there was one that I picked because it had parallel structure. I didn’t think it sounded all that nice, but I figured that parallel structure has more of an importance than awkwardness. I could be wrong though. If I remembered the answer I’d tell you =&lt;/p>

<p>question: what were the two correcting paragraph passages about? in detail.
i know one was grocery store data collecting marketing advertisement. i don’t remember a second paragraph…im really scared that i skipped the whole section…</p>

<p>The other passage I got was the restoration of modern buildings, but that was experimental, so you probably just didn’t get it.</p>

<p>oh okay. thanks! </p>

<p>i can’t remember if paragraph sections usually have one para or two. probably one.</p>

<p>minimeigh is correct</p>

<p>so for teh because it fear (uS and Russia in Europe Question) was it A? </p>

<p>Also for the last writing question on section 10 about the albatross wing span what was the answer? I put E not 100 percent sure tho.</p>

<p>Ironman: I put “because it feared.”</p>

<p>Do you remember the wording for the albatross question? I might have put E but I’m not sure.</p>

<p>something like this:</p>

<p>an albatross in flight is a spectacular sight, _______</p>

<p>i know the rest were wrong but I was torn b/w 2 choices:</p>

<p>x. it has a wingspan of so and so meters
E. its wings span so and so meters</p>

<p>thoughts?</p>

<p>one of them had like a comma, the other had a colon. The comma one is wrong because you cant put a comma between 2 complete sentences</p>

<p>That albatross one messed me up. I put one of the ones with the colon, but I thought a semicolon would work better, and I knew none of the comma choices were correct. O_o</p>

<p>im pretty sure i put the one with the semicolon. it was weird question; i would never write a sentence like that.</p>

<p>the answer was the with the colon, and it.
It is the only one that keeps the pronoun singular and keeps the 2 complete sentences working together.</p>

<p>Yeah I put the one with the colon. Pretty sure it was choice E.</p>
