<p>Yeah. I was debating about that. I thought the grammar was wrong, because it should maybe be "despite HIS being an eloquent speaker". It was too awkward, so I changed back to A after eliminating the other choices.</p>
<p>I got "although"</p>
<p>@numsquat79</p>
<p>the grammatically correct phrase should be "despite HIS being an eloquent..."</p>
<p>rather than vs instead of.... debate</p>
<p>somewhere up in the 200s you need to get commended. it's different for each state, but first to qualify you need about a 220 or better. then they divide into the bottom 2/3, who are commended, and the top 1/3, who become semifinalists.</p>
<p>i said "instead of writing" because "instead of letters" is not as clear as "instead of writing letters"</p>
<p>I wanna kill the 4x4x7 problem........... UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and EFF the last math free response... I put 37.6 at first and for some EFING DUMB REASON i decided to erase the .7 at the end and end up putting 37.. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA</p>
<p>take a chill pill powerbomb. i bet you still did great and its a practice sat, and i bet you did well on all the other sections. + its only 1 problem and you don't even lose points</p>
<p>ugh i can't believe i got the abc triangle (a=100, b=1 i think) wrong!! i thought which angle was the greatest .. ugh i was so rushing thru that math.</p>
<p>and i guess i got the prism one wrong .. i said 4<em>4</em>5 because i knew both width and side decreased by 2, but i don't understand how the length increased?</p>
<p>If you get commended, is that worth putting on your apps?</p>
<p>for the 4x4x7 problem, are you guys sure the base had dotted lines across it too? I thought only the 4 surrounding the base had dotted lines... in which case it would be 4x4x6</p>
<p>the base gets smaller by 1 inch on each side (so it ends up 4x4), but that makes the extensions longer by 1 inch so they go from 6 to 7</p>
<p>I know you guys love my pro paint skills ~_~

<p>(prism explanation btw)</p>
<p>Despite made it sound awkward. The answer should've been although</p>
<p>o.........i got that one wrong then ^... nice drawing skills btw</p>
<p>Wait a second</p>
<p>Doesn't anybody find the sentence "Although far more eloquent a speaker" funny?</p>
<p>"Despite him being a far more eloquent speaker" sounds fine to me.</p>
<p>And also what's the answer to the ABC triangle one?</p>
<p>And also what's the answer to the divisible I,II,III question?</p>
<p>I think the answer was I and II only....</p>
<p>it was II only</p>
<p>nah it was II only</p>
<p>it was II only. 6 is a counter example to I. III i thought was obviously wrong.</p>
<p>it should be despite his... it's a classic grammar question.</p>
