<p>I put Mr. Bret’s…like none other. So…I hope I am right…</p>
<p>I said </p>
<p>Nothing will diminish the reputation of our school like Mr. Bret’s departure will</p>
<p>but I’m not positive. Can somebody explain why the others are right or wrong?</p>
<p>i also put the choice with “like none other”. for some reason the choice that ended with “departure willl” didn’t sound right to me. i could be completely wrong though lol</p>
<p>none other is wrong because i think it should be “no other”</p>
<p>i didnt think none is an adjective and since other is a noun i thought none was supposed to modify how many others and its suppose to be no others.<br>
i dont know if you do a google search on “no other” and “none other” no other is by far more.</p>
<p>For the last writing question, did anyone put that at the end of the paragraph the author should present more of “whoever the passage was about”'s changing views on slavery?</p>
<p>i’m almost positive that “Nothing will diminish the reputation of our school like Mr. Bret’s departure will” is correct and that “Mr. Bret’s departure will diminish the reputation of our school like none other” is incorrect.</p>
<p>this is how i thought of it…</p>
<p>departure, not mr. Bret, is the thing being compared in the sentence. departure needs to be compared to the word nothing because departure is not a person.</p>
<p>on the other hand, if the sentence had said mr. bret instead of mr. bret’s departure, then none other would be acceptable.</p>
<p>i hope i can reconcile the “none other” debate</p>
<p>first of all, we’ve gotta remember that this is a test on STANDARD WRITTEN ENGLISH</p>
<p>a sentence like: </p>
<p>“Mr. Bret’s departure will diminish the reputation of our school like none other”</p>
<p>is too colloquial to be correct–like none other what? it makes no logical sense in print. however, it does out loud. see what i mean?</p>
<p>this isn’t a test on slang, but on written english. “like none other” is a perfect example of slang</p>
<p>Well, we’ll just have to wait until the results come back in December then.</p>
<p>They take way too long. How hard is it to run a scantron?</p>
<p>supercilious</p>
<p>lol i think it’s time to stop worrying now…we should all hope for the best when the results come out in december =]</p>
<p>Like our school took psats on wednesday, and I think I passed tthe 220 cutoff, but what does all this really mean? Does it show up in college apps? And how can we be awarded scholarships (I think it was called national merit)? Like could someone explain the process of like quaterfinalist …semifinalist …and finalists and quilifications and stuff?</p>
<p>is it just me or was the PSAT from the college board preparation booklet a lot easier than any other PSAT from past years?</p>
<p>the practice psat from the collegeboard was actually the same test as the Wednesday PSAT of 2006</p>
<p>ok now im not so sure about “like Mr. Bret’s departure will” over “like none other” </p>
<p>If you look at this
[Like</a> vs As](<a href=“http://trc.ucdavis.edu/bajaffee/SAS90B/Course%20Content/Grammar%20Syllabus/Like%20vs%20As.htm]Like”>http://trc.ucdavis.edu/bajaffee/SAS90B/Course%20Content/Grammar%20Syllabus/Like%20vs%20As.htm)</p>
<p>it seems like that you cant say “like Mr. Bret’s departure will” because will is a verb and like is a preposition, only followed by a noun (it has to be as Mr. Bret’s departure will?)…so i guess “like none other” is correct (since none other is a noun)?</p>
<p>anyone else screw up on the volume of the rectangle problem (its 7 x 4 x 4, i put 6 x 4 x 4 
), also for the area of the shaded object in the rectangle, did anyone else get 18? and i screwed up on the even integers to 2000 problem (i put 2000, it’s 1998).</p>
<p>yeah ive read phrases that end “like none other” in literature before so i went with that</p>
<p>can someone explain to me why</p>
<p>’ although far more eloquent a speaker…’
is wrong?</p>
<p>^ No it should be right…that’s what I put.</p>
<p>yeah tomjones, i concur</p>
<p>why the controversy?</p>
