November 2010 SAT - Writing

<p>^No. </p>

<p>“recording it” is referring to the singer BUT the subject that should follow is the song name because the name modifies the “Still A POPULAR SONG…” <---- that part modifies the song. It’s grammatically correct.</p>

<p>No, its basically a misplaced modifier.</p>

<p>Source: Me i got 800 in writing</p>

<p>Why is the “that” unnecessary in the question with “that the…”. I’m pretty sure the rest of the sentence doesn’t make sense without the that.</p>

<p>For people who didn’t have 2 long writing sections, what was your long writing section about?</p>

<p>Backfing you are wrong. You keep on arguing for an answer when three people have said that it is incorrect. the sentence was something like after recording it, the song by sarah or something along those lines. That’s why it is an error because it should be its recording. @Shadow. Yeah I only got one no error.</p>

<p>gensis, you said you got 1 error in the chinese dragon section? Did that section have a question that involved something involving “toddlers solving problems for the joy of it”?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>It is not a misplaced modifier. The song name modifies the “still a popular song”, which is at the beginning of the dependent clause. And i don’t care i will continue to argue until you provide me with some LOGICAL reason that it’s wrong.</p>

<p>I said i got 1 no error.</p>

<p>@Gensis: awesome! Hoping for an 800 on writing :)</p>

<p>“That” was definitely necessary. “That” is just another way of saying “The fact that…” If anything, “That” was the most concise approach.</p>

<p>You got one no error too? Was it near the beginning (the 2nd question?)?</p>

<p>Also for the improving paragraphs did you get:</p>

<p>Add something and remove when
Add information about chinatown in 1900s
Make no changes to the sentence</p>

<p>For the people who had the same test (with the Chinese airplane guy)… for the very last section (10 minutes), did anyone else get 4-5 D’s in a row at the very beginning??? I did and flipped out.</p>

<p>qtwvhr i did also. i think it was liek DDDDAD or something completely ridiculous like that. i am really bad at paragraph improvement and i thought the chinese airplane one was the worst. can you tell me some of the answers you got? i literally got them all wrong hahahh i hate paragraph improvement</p>

<p>I posted my answers in a earlier reply. Check them plz?</p>

<p>Yes - there definitely was a series of D’s, A, and another D!! Glad I am not the only one.</p>

<p>I honestly cannot remember any of the writing section, including the paragraph improvement part!! Repressing those painful memories, you know. I think all my points are going to be lost in Writing. </p>

<p>Although there was one question that asked, near the last paragraph/conclusion, what additional sentence would make sense, and it would have tied the fact that there were only 2 articles about the airplane guy to the fact that the author wrote the book that was part factual and part fictional. </p>

<p>Can’t remember the choices, or what I chose for that question. I think the sentence began with “even though…”…</p>

<p>wait i can’t find it haha</p>

<p>Me neither! So to be clear, gensis, you took the test with the airplane guy, but backfing took the other version? Because I definitely did not choose 4 NE’s.</p>

<p>ok good i got that too! but i need the other answers cause i’m not even kidding i WOULD get all of the paragraph improvement wrong. i took the oct sat and those were actually the only ones i missed…i am so weirdly dumb. </p>

<p>the sentence with the <strong><em>,too,</em></strong> in it…how did you improve it?
where did you put the sentence about him bringing a mechanic and building china’s first plane?
what would improve the overall paragraph? (i think gensis already said talk more about the flying success or something)</p>

<p>I put that it goes after the last sentence (sentence 12)</p>

<p>I put that to improve the _<strong><em>, too _</em></strong> you dont do anything to it.</p>

<p>I put that he should talk more about Chinatown. (That might sound weird, but the conclusion talked about Chinatown, yet no mention of chinatown was in the essay, dunno if thats right)</p>

<p>U guys got one no error right? (Question 2)</p>

<p>Also, what did you guys say was needed to be done to one of the sentences, was like “The wright brothers were flying airplanes, when he built china airplanes.” I put B, to add “at the same time” and delete “when”</p>

<p>Dont take my word for it tho. I am TERRIBAD at improving essays.</p>

<p>^You didn’t have the college girl improving passage? That’s very odd.</p>
