October 15 PSAT Discussion

<p>Thoroughly enough was one no and there was another no somewhere in the beginning. The debate one wasn't a no</p>

<p>magnamity was wrong...it means generous</p>

<p>what did you guys get with the ones with Mt. St. Henes</p>

<p>was it explosive/belied? (did those two words go together)</p>

<p>yes thats what i got [belied and explosive made perfect sense to me]</p>

<p>ya that was it the dormancy misrepresented (belied) the volcano</p>

<p>does anyone remember the writing question about the two islands off the African coast?
also, I put volatile, subdued but I think I got it wrong and the answer might be explosive, belie</p>

<p>what's wrong with competing on every occasion?</p>

<p>Wasn't that one volatile and something?</p>

<p>for the africa one the error was at the word "lies" it should have been lays</p>

<p>it should have been lie because it was plural</p>

<p>For the islands off the African Coast, I put no error as a guess because I wasn't too sure @_@</p>

<p>yea "lies" is wrong (it was plural inversed subjects)</p>

<p>anyone know the one about urban affluence vs. worldy view</p>

<p>how about the one with the teacher running out of time to explain clearly the assignment? I put no error</p>

<p>wow i think i got like a 60 on this whole test. all i hear is all the answers i got wrong</p>

<p>i was surprised a great deal of the error identification q's dealt with subj-vb agreement</p>

<p>anyone know the one about worldy view/urban affluence
teacher one was A, parallelism error, it was comparing the time to not finishing</p>

I also said "before 10"
I finished writing like 15 min before the end of the section, so I spent a long time on this problem.
The sentence to be inserted went something like this: "In general, spiritual autobiographies involve a moral awakening."
Although sentence 4 did MENTION spiritual autobiographies, the actual sentence went something like: "The book is considered a spiritual autobiography and a slave narrative, which Euponia is credited as the creator."
The paragraph following that details how Euponia's faith kept him virtuous through a corrupt world.
The last paragraph (corresponding to answer choice "before 10") talks about how Euponia first accepted slavery, then came to denounce it. Therefore, this is the "moral awakening." The sentence to be inserted simply points out that the inclusion of this "moral awakening" is a general feature in all spiritual autobiographies.
I can understand why most people but "Before 5"--I initially did too, but I think my conclusion is correct. Any thoughts?</p>

<p>teacher out of time- the intro clause was modifying a clock, when it was supposed to be a person.</p>

<p>Essential: Not carefully watching was verbose and indicating the wrong subject of the second clause. It went Not carefully watching blah blah blah, the time prevented the teacher from teaching clearly. something like that, but time cannot watch carefully so A was wrong</p>

<p>i think it was worldly view because the apartment dweller understood the world through his T.V.</p>

<p>yah like all of them were. or noun-possesive pronoun disagreement (its-theirs). a lot of them were just disagreement things.</p>

<p>I noticed on the verbal that the answers to the passage-based questions were in the passage. the thing about the painting girl and what question does "no" answer, i said that being dissatisfied with her skills was not her only problem. it said in the text that "this would not have bothered her if this was ther only problem." (or something like that)</p>
