*******October *19* PSAT Answers****

<p>squash addict do you happen to remember what the question was for the deliberate/reclusive one?</p>

<p>it was this sentence completion talking about how an author was _____ during his early years of his career, then wrote freely in his later years.</p>

<p>I put 9:10; iirc, the first bus left at 6:40</p>

<p>post hardest writing (error id) qs with answers. also the NE ones which ones are they</p>

<p>can someone explain to me what is wrong with “that it was” in “Presumed that it was extinct until 1967”?</p>

<p>^JackTC i don’t remember the question exactly, but I think I put A because “it” wasn’t really specific enough for identifying the volcano.</p>

<p>I thought no error. Also, the “it” refers to the volcano. It was mentioned in silverturtle’s guide to the SAT as “cataphora.”</p>

<p>Can someone please explain the komodo dragon one? I said the one with being infront</p>

<p>“being” is almost always wrong on the PSAT/SAT.</p>

<p>I am aware…but this is probably an exception</p>

<p>Please someone reply:</p>

<p>I thought tte question was a^-3 b=2a^-2
b/a^3=2/a^2
ba^2=2a^3
/a^3 /a^3
b/a=2
cross mult
2a=b
/2 /2
a=b/2
Or did I read the question wrong? Was it ba^-2=2a^-3</p>

<p>@psat person I thought our was being because the komodo dragon was singular, so the pronoun had to be it.</p>

<p>does anyone remember the exact question for the rectangular area question? also what were the numbers given for the 4000 question? was it 2,4,6,8?</p>

<p>For the question with parity on the journalism passage for which one of the choices said something like parity of the readers/participants, was that the answer?</p>

<p>What is the consensus on the “Presumed that it is” question? Is it A?</p>

<p>what was the answer to the coffee/orange juice question in the writing section? was it just coffe, or if they drank coffee?</p>

<p>Also, for math what was the answer to the X+1/x and y-1/y question… that made nooo sense?</p>

<p>@jack tc I put a and I think most people here agree on a</p>

<p>I left the rectangular solid one blank on the math. Can anyone explain it?</p>

<p>I’ll be stalking this page for at least a couple more days.
@Meander: The rectangular solid problem: One side of a face of a rectangular solid has a surface area of 120. Another face of the rectangular solid has a surface area of 110. What is one POSSIBLE volume of the rectangular solid. What you had to do was come up with a common height which can be divided both into 120 and 110. This would allow you to get the side lengths (120 divided by height = length, 110 divided by height = width). Then multiply length x width x height. The three possible choices were 6600, 1320, 2640.</p>

<p>I got A for the presumed question and got the last choice for the komodo dragon bc it wAs completely singulat</p>
