<p>I put B.
:)</p>
<p>would someone be as nice to assemble the confirmed cumulative list?</p>
<p>For those who are you wondering, </p>
<p>I got a 12 on my essay and -7, and still manged to get a 730 on the Writing</p>
<p>The rule for the birdie thing is this, @ dream:</p>
<p>He is better than any other student. (He is a student)
He is better than any student. (He isnāt a student)</p>
<p>āA biography is but oneā¦ā was that experimental, b/c i wasnāt sure about it? i donāt remember having any uncertainities on the real sectionā¦</p>
<p>What the answer to the one about Daltonās theory? </p>
<p>That was no error right?</p>
<p>can you tell me the context of the dalton theory question?</p>
<p>^I got no error for Dalton.</p>
<p>Also for the painting one, did it have the word ātheā before the word painting? Because if it did, that changes everything. Consensus is shattered in that case.</p>
<p>I remember that there was no ātheā but Iām not sure at all. If there wasnāt ātheā, there was no error.</p>
<p>there was a āthe.ā hence, no error.</p>
<p>what was the dalton question exactly?</p>
<p>Wait, there was?</p>
<p>Hmm. I donāt know then.</p>
<p>Could someone tell me what the dalton and painting questions were?</p>
<p>The bird one compared the body of the bird. THEREFORE the answer is 100% āmore __ than that of any other bird.ā
done deal.</p>
<p>Also, there was a question with MUCH underlined. Was that the error or was it no error?</p>
<p>The exact wording for #23 was:</p>
<p>āWhile I am acquainted with Mr. Bartholomew and have long known of his interest in the painting, that he would go to such lengths to obtain it astonishes me.ā</p>
<p>I put C (obtain it) because it is ambiguous. I believe there is a grammar rule that states that a pronounās antecedent cannot be introduced in a prepositional phrase. The prepositional phrase here would be āin the paintingā. Also, although it is pretty clear what āitā refers to, āinterestā is certainly a possible antecedent. I guess one canāt really obtain āinterestā thoughā¦</p>
<p>However, I was very tempted to choose E because I have never seen an ambiguous pronoun error such as this before. I have seen hundreds of practice tests and real exams, and a difficult question like this is rarely given as early as #23. If it appeared as a 26-29, I probably would have chosen C without a doubt.</p>
<p>Soā¦itās up in the air for me. Not really confident about either choice, but if they decide its (E), it should be a voided question.</p>
<p>oh and cadillac is right about the question.</p>
<p>i think whoever is arguing for āmostā didnāt spot the comparison error. the sentence is comparing the body of the hummingbird. i believe E failed to address that.</p>
<p>****. majesticmako, I think youāre right. But who knows?</p>
<p>I personally thought this writing was hard⦠much harder than March (for me, 780/10).</p>
<p>the ONLY time SAT will put ambiguity up for a possible answer choice is if the sentence is actually and obviously ambiguous, i.e.</p>
<p>āMary and Karla bought blue dresses, although she bought the blue dress with frillsā where āsheā WOULD MAKE SENSE when referring to Mary or Karla.</p>
<p>however, āitā in the Bartholomew question clearly refers to paintingābesides, people donāt usually go to far lengths to āobtain interestā anyways. ETS is not this tricky.</p>
<p>does anyone remember how the question was written for the Science fair one??
I donāt remember what i chose⦠either a or bā¦</p>
<p>Is āhave known ofā even a proper idiom? I thought it was āknown aboutā.</p>
<p>I dont think the question was phrased āgreek and roman literatureā, i think it was āgreek literature and roman sagasā or something like thatā¦</p>
<p>I thought the problem w/ the sentence was that āgreek literature and roman sagasā could not refer to a singular pronoun.</p>
<p>The other plausible problem w/ the statement was that ātheyā cannot refer to āgreek literature and roman sagasā</p>
<p>does anyone remember the wording of the question??</p>
