OCTOBER 2009 Writing

<p>does anyone remember the question with the women writer who wrote memoirs after 1953? and the question with the designer?</p>

<p>It was literature not sagas</p>

<p>and the literature had elements of folklore and popular belief in it</p>

<p>anyone remind me what the Dalton question was?</p>

<p>yeah for dalton i put no error
i think in that section i got dalton, bartholomew, and life of bees
as no errors</p>

<p>lol i asked this like 10 times but does anyone remember the woman writer from 1953 question?</p>

<p>^no… i think that might have been experimental!</p>

<p>does anyone remember the question about “john is the only one of three of my friends of high school who still WRITE to me” or something?
I chose WRITE as wrong, because it should be WRITES… the sentence structure made it hard to detect though</p>

<p>i could have sworn the 1953 question was in the last 10 min section</p>

<p>Ohh can you elaborate more on the choices? I finished the last section real fast and fell asleep O_O</p>

<p>I think it’s 1945, and not 1953. Also, is “know about” the proper idiom or “know of”?</p>

<p>The last q in the 10-min was something qith “the cop asked my brother and I if we saw a white van in the morning”.</p>

<p>@nyuismydream: The answer is write. Wasn’t the q “Out of all my old friends, John is the only one who still write to me”?</p>

<p>yea i guess i got the years wrong. what was the answer to the 1945 one then</p>

<p>@ majesticmako - what is a voided question?
even though it’s conversationally clear “it” is the painting, it may not be grammatically correct. so i think C.</p>

<p>Can someone put up the Greek/Roman literature question, I dont remember it at all</p>

<p>Still no one has answered, lol.</p>

<p>@hudablossom: Nononono. It’s definitely not “write”. Even if that was the question it would still be “writes” because you have a dependent clause and an independent clause. If you take the independent clause alone you have “John is the only one who still _____ to me.” Does “write” really sound right to you? Another thing to look at is the verb after “John”, which is “is”. Thus, “He is” “She is” “John is” and “He writes” “She writes” “JOHN WRITES”. Just break up the sentences into smaller chunks and you’ll see :D</p>

<p>yea what is the consensus on the greek/roman lit question. also for the mark twain question what was the answer? I believe I chose C because in the sentence “language” was compared to “any other writer”.</p>

<p>Did every1 hav the same essay question?</p>

<p>No. Some got a humor prompt, some got a family/network prompt.</p>
