<p>anyone else on the hummingbird question? im ****ed off.</p>
<p>was the one w/ bartholemew experimental or not?</p>
<p>THERE WAS AN ERROR IN THE HUMMINGBIRD QUESTION. THE ANSWER WAS SOMETHING LIKE THIS: “MORE MUSCULAR THAN <em>THAT</em> OF ANY OTHER BIRD”. SINCE THEY ARE COMPARING MUSCLES OR SOMETHING YOU WOULDNT COMPARE MUSCLES TO ANOTHER BIRD. Your welcome</p>
<p>The jason question was a trick question -</p>
<p>Jason, was the only one of three of my friends from middle school who still writes to me.</p>
<p>If you took out the “only” then write would be correct but because it is plural it is writes.</p>
<p>Jason, was one of three of my friends from middle school who still write to me.</p>
<p>I know because I spent 2 minutes on it and only caught it at the last minute.</p>
<p>@gregunt - do u remember if the Jason question was experimental?</p>
<p>gregunt, how is it not most???</p>
<p>most is used to compare three or more items, more is two. So a humming bird is the more muscular bird out of two birds, i.e, a humming bird and another bird. (than that of another bird). It would be most muscular if it were something like ‘the humming bird is the most mucular bird out of any bird’, but when it comes to another bird, it would only be a comparison between two items, the humming bird and another bird.</p>
<p>corey - i don’t really get your logic, kind of confused.</p>
<p>also, the hummingbirds one was the “more than any other bird” because the other option was “the most of any other bird.” i distinctively remember that it said any other bird, and not “the most of any bird”</p>
<p>No, the Bartholomew one was not experimental…this one was really weird, it’s pretty clear that “it” referred to the painting, but at the same time painting was introduced by a preposition, so the noun coming after “although” was “interest”</p>
<p>something illustrating that is this:</p>
<p>Bobby is the most muscular out of Jim, Joe, and Sam.</p>
<p>You wouldn’t say Bobby is the more muscular out of Jim, Joe, Sam, would you?</p>
<p>Does anyone still thing bartholomew has an error?</p>
<p>The jason one was NOT experimental.</p>
<p>Was the skateboard one experimental?</p>
<p>I too think it was chef tasting a new herb because he used those examples as an anticipated response which he found incorrect, hence the ‘but i was in for a number of striking surprises’.</p>
<p>although it has a delicate frame, the hummingbird’s body is the most muscular compared to that of any bird.</p>
<p>that’s what i put. please, God, let me be right.</p>
<p>First of all, this is CR, not writing. But anyway - no, it’s the chef. you’re forgetting what the question is asking. The question asked what impression the QUESTIONS gave - and the impression they gave was on repetition, of something boring. While for the author this was interesting and indeed like the chef tasting the herb, the question asks about the effect of the questions, not the opinion of the author.</p>
<p>you can’t be “most out of any other bird”
you have to be “most out of any bird”</p>
<p>corey - are you sure it said “the only one” and not “only one”?</p>
<p>I am not sure if the word ‘any’ was used, or if the word ‘another’ was used (compared to that of another bird). Can anyone remember?</p>
<p>Sorry - I meant NOT the chef. the correct answer was A - something that alluded to repetition.</p>
<p>@i took: It’s not “most” because you are comparing one hummingbird to another not all of them. Example: I was better than any other player. NOT: I was best than any other player.</p>
<p>@Mabsj: Jason was not experimental because i had the experimental math section AND that question.</p>
