OCTOBER 2009 Writing

<p>^ Me too. I’m loving the writing section. I will probably improve substantially this time around.</p>

<p>The hummingbird question</p>

<p>What was the Dalton oneeee?</p>

<p>hummingbirddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd</p>

<p>3 QUESTIONS:</p>

<ol>
<li>on Robotic competition/ science fair question, is it A or B?</li>
</ol>

<p>A - …planning on…
B- Robots that we plan to enter…</p>

<p>not sure if the answer choices are correctly quoted</p>

<ol>
<li><p>for scholars, there were periods
when
of when
where</p></li>
<li><p>Greek and latin Liturature: singular or plural?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>I put “more than that of blah blah” because we were comparing the hummingbird’s muscular body to other birds’ not to the birds.</p>

<p>Definitely planning on.
Periods when.
Greek/roman lit = singular.</p>

<p>That’s my opinion.</p>

<p>greek and latin literature is definitely singular, however i don’t remember that being an issue.</p>

<p>Then the answer for the greek and roman literature included something with “its” right? I’m pretty sure all the other choices had “their” or something plural.</p>

<p>does anyone remember more clearly the question answer choices about the robot question?</p>

<p>I think I put B but idk - I need more exact answers</p>

<p>haha I loved the passage about the artists. Especially how they changed Pablo Picasso’s name to “Pablita” :D</p>

<p>And as for the Greek and Roman Literature question, the Q referred the literature as “it” so the subject would be singular. Yeah, personally I thought that was an easy problem. </p>

<p>But then, my biggest issue is vocabs from CR. I’m always good w/ vocabs and terrible w/ passages but it totally flipped this time.</p>

<p>And gg I really needed to pee really bad in the last half of the SAT, but no more breaks

<p>The hummingbird one should’ve been most because the breast of a hummingbird is the most muscular of any bird. Proof: </p>

<p>“His numbers are the strongest of any player across the board.”</p>

<p>[NBA</a> Draft - Cactus Classic top performers](<a href=“http://nbadraft.rivals.com/content.asp?SID=1167&CID=676305]NBA”>http://nbadraft.rivals.com/content.asp?SID=1167&CID=676305)</p>

<p>“Bishop’s time was the fastest of any runner in the 60-meter dash.”</p>

<p>[Lincoln</a> University Athletics - Athletes of the Week](<a href=“http://www.lulions.com/awards.aspx?aow=53]Lincoln”>Anthony Bishop (2/3/2009) - Athlete Awards - Lincoln University Athletics)</p>

<p>These are just a few of many examples. Those ARE valid sources so don’t question my source. DO TAKE note that “player” and “runner” are both SINGULAR yet both sentences use the superlative.</p>

<p>@nerdess</p>

<p>do u remember the exact question and the possible answer choices</p>

<p>so “it” was the answer?</p>

<p>Dalton sentence, agree?</p>

<p>Thanks! I agree with you.</p>

<p>was the automobile hybrids the real one??
i got that one and one talking about an aunt in a tour in hawaii
goddd i hope its the automobile one…the aunt one was so freakin stupid!</p>

<p>Yeah I had critical reading exp. The hybrid is the real one.</p>

<p>I know this has been hashed out before, but for the hummingbird, it’s “more muscular than blah blah blah” not the most muscular of any bird? I figured if it were more muscular than any bird, it had to be the most muscular, and if it were the most muscular than there were options, one of which was incorrect for a different reason. Have we reached a consensus on this one or is it still up there?</p>

<p>She is smartest than any of her classmates.</p>

<p>OR</p>

<p>She is smarter than any of her classmates.</p>

<p>andromeda the sentence didn’t have THAN, read my post on this question.</p>
