<p>That was part of the underlined portion. I remember the questions asking to compare the body of the bird. It was “more muscular than that of any other bird.”</p>
<p>Pretty sure the question did have THAN.</p>
<p>And if it did, the answer was “MORE MUSCULAR THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER BIRD”. Period.</p>
<p>Also, with the question about players becoming a member or something, the answer should be a member because it should be members, correct?</p>
<p>@collegeaddiction</p>
<p>i made your same mistake.
but notice it said in the choices than that of any “other”
the other makes it most, not more.</p>
<p>c)more muscular than that of any other bird.
d)most muscular than that of any other bird</p>
<p>the other makes it more</p>
<p>right but the most muscular of any bird option didn’t have than in it. If it had than it would’ve been blatantly obvious, but it didn’t and that’s what makes it such a controversial question</p>
<p>It did have a than. It is not controversial.</p>
<p>the answer was E not D btw. and no it didn’t have than, I had liek 5 minutes at the end of the last section to double check. D had than but E didn’t</p>
<p>“that of any bird” is unnecessary. The humming bird is the subject of the first part of the comparison, other birds should be the noun used in the second part of the comparison. </p>
<p>I remember it being “most muscular of” any bird.</p>
<p>^ exactly, I had a similar process of thought and chose choice E. “most muscular of”</p>
<p>^ Sorry, but you guys are wrong, because choice E says “most muscular of any other bird”, when it should be “most muscular of any bird.” How could it not be as muscular as itself?
Which means the answer is “more muscular than that of any other bird.”</p>
<p>I agree freakchild, that’s what I put. I put D because the "other " seemed unnecessary.</p>
<p>Others are saying that it should have been “more” not “most,” and that’s what I’ve been arguing.</p>
<p>^ freakchild: It DID say most muscular of any bird. OTHER wasn’t even there! jeez you people keep adding random words in there ><. E was more succinct than C that’s why. Both worked but E did it better.</p>
<p>No, I swear it did say OTHER. If it didn’t, then it would have been too easy.</p>
<p>I don’t remember all the answer choices but the original sentence screamed faulty comparison. Thus, I was drawn to “than that of any other bird”. It seems unlikely that they would make a clear faulty comparison error in the original and have the answer not correct that original error.</p>
<p>^ OMG thank you Latency. Now I remember why I chose that answer. Definitely a faulty comparison.</p>
<p>Well, that answer is correct.</p>
<p>timmy…w.e. canceling my score any ways ><</p>
<p>What I know:</p>
<ol>
<li>The question about “unique to” Chimpanzees.</li>
</ol>
<p>The answer was A (correct phrase originally). I selected B by mistake but my dad told me that “unique to” is the correct phrase and not “unique about.”</p>
<ol>
<li><p>The science fair question definitely had an error, I forgot which one it was though.</p></li>
<li><p>Hummingbird question - Needs to say “compared to the muscles of the other birds” or something like that. Improper comparison in the original question.</p></li>
<li><p>The Bartholomew Question - I put no error.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Just wondering … what did you put for biographies.</p>
<p>A biography is but one of many other sources … bla blab bla</p>
<p>Wouldn’t it be “just one of many” … ?</p>
<p>E: “the most muscular of any other bird”</p>
<p>that doesn’t make sense, because when you’re referring to any other bird, you aren’t including the original bird they were talking about into the comparison. It doesn’t make sense at all.
Only this would:
“the most muscular of all birds”</p>
<p>Thus, I chose “more popular than any other bird” <– or the choice closest to it, don’t remember</p>
<p>What was the EXACT sentence for the Bartholemeu one. Because one person said “THIS IS THE QUOTE” word for word, but I know that the quote had the word “long” in it. So they MAY have made a mistake. So honestly what is the WORD FOR WORD quote for the question.</p>
<p>so wait let me get some perspective here…the robot and science fair one</p>
<p>A or B? I thought planning on sounded better but then B was clearer with the robotics division of the science fair whereas A had it quite split up…I put B but i really dont know</p>
