I think so. Also can you please explain the one about the “thing”</p>
<p>I don’t really remember the passage, I just know development made sense for both of them, and the other words didn’t.</p>
<p>Also do you guys remember the one about the volcano? It was a writing question.</p>
<p>Also what about the math question about the buses leaving every 50 minutes?</p>
<p>i asked my sat class teacher and he said it would be the author because a book can’t comprise eight stores together but an author can</p>
<p>Okay so it seems that I’ve gotten 2-3 MC wrong, and I omitted one… what score does that translate into?</p>
<p>(Writing M/C) </p>
<p>Do you guys remember the Either/or question? I thought it was singular, but what do you guys think?</p>
<p>It was something like this…</p>
<p>Either Steve or David (were)… I thought it should be singular, was.</p>
<p>Do you agree? if not, why?</p>
<p>Comprise means “consist of; be made up of”. If you have the phrase modifying the author, you would saying that the author himself is made up of either stories, which makes no sense.</p>
<p>Agree either makes the rest of the sentence singular.</p>
<p>@PSATPERSON, I vaguely remember bubbling A for the volcano question. It had to do with the phrase that followed presumed. Presumed “that it was” extinct or something like that.</p>
<p>Agreed - Daimyo. That is what I thought of as I read it. </p>
<p>Overall, while it was a bit weird wording, I think that it should be the author possessive - so the books.</p>
<p>Either/or is definitely singular.</p>
<p>I chose A as well …thinking that it was unidentified and could refer to Costa Rica or the volcano</p>
<p>Anyone know about the bus math question?</p>
<p>the bus question was 9:10 I think</p>
<p>Two answers I have problems with:</p>
<p>-Manhattan, India was COMPELLING INFORMATION to its readers.</p>
<p>This is very true, but in the QUOTED passage, the readers were described as drinking tea and thinking about their family members, even sending newspapers to them. Dictionary definition of bittersweet: “arousing pleasure tinged with sadness or pain.” That makes sense? This question is up for debate, I think.</p>
<p>-The immigrants are wistful and melancholy.</p>
<p>The immigrants were discontented and calculating. They were wondering if they had made a mistake in moving, for economic reasons, to the USA. I think this is less debatable than the first.</p>
<p>Yes that is what I got!</p>
<p>I forget the sentence but the one right before that really suggested that it would be the information choice</p>
<p>I put compelling information and discontented/calculating.</p>
<p>@ameripen I agree with your first point. But the definition of wistful is “having or showing a feeling of vague or regretful longing”. This would suitably describe how they had regretted moving to the United States. </p>
<p>In contrast, calculating means “acting in a scheming and ruthlessly determined way”, which was certainly does not correlate with their expressed sentiments. The words discontented and calculating suggest that they were acting in more of an ominous manner. Thus wistful and melancholy is the better answer.</p>
