<p>hybrid car it was best to insert before sentence 14</p>

<p>so answer e</p>

<p>i think that might be right</p>

<p>as long as it was e and not c</p>

<p>What is the dalton question???</p>

<p>was life of bees about the 14 year old girl or not</p>

<p>why would collegboard put bartholomeuw on there ive never seen a problem like that b4 on any if its official study guides</p>

<p>yes, life of bees was about the 14 year old girl who ran away from home.</p>

<p>Actually that’s a good point. That’s a tricky question. An antecedent must be clear and umistakable. Obviously there is confusion about the antecedent so therefore it must be a vague pronoun reference. Okay, then i guess it’s C.</p>

<p>I ran a google seach on the phrase “obtain interest” and every result had to do with financial interest rates.</p>

<p>so? interest has alot of other meanings as well but obviously from the context interest had only one meaning–a preference.</p>

<p>What was the answer to the hummingbird questions?
Was it: more muscular than that of any other bird?</p>

<p>yes fresh!</p>

<p>u think it was C</p>

<p>can i like notfiy collegboard about that cuz i only got bartholomew wrong im sure</p>

<p>Yes, but you’d think the phrase would come up in some sort of literature or article. Anyway, as I said, I read the sentence without a “the” before painting. So the answer really could be “it”. </p>

<p>If that’s the case, how much will -2 proababy be with a 12 essay? I’m guessing 780-770?</p>

<p>and it was number 23 so stupid collegeboard shud recheck the bartholomew
isnt there a way to tell them i could get my 800 wheee but prolly not ppl say no error</p>

<p>yeah that’s a good point - if we can’t agree on if Bartholomew is clear or not, it’s to some extent vague, and antecedents must be clear. if you answered c you’re ok - either c was wrong or the collegeboard will have to void the question if it thought it was an error b/c it is vague</p>

<p>So far I just got the Bartholomew wrong too. I really thought the “it” part was wrong >.<</p>

<p>Yes, but you’d think the phrase would come up in some sort of literature or article. Anyway, as I said, I read the sentence without a “the” before painting. So the answer really could be “it”. </p>

<p>Even if “the” was there, “it” would have to be the answer because that still does not eliminate the problem of the “have long known of his interest”. What im sayin is that even if the sentence had “the painting” in it, “it” could refer to “interest” or “the painting”. In any case, “it” must be clear…lemme repeat…“it” must be clear. In this scenario, “it” is not clear.</p>

<p>yea hmmm if bartholomew has an error that wud be legit,</p>

<p>cant they like cancel it out or review it cuz ive never seen a question like this on the march may, or any of its practice tests
it taught us to knock off vague theys and its
yeah the painintg does make it
but thats really hard</p>

<p>wait does collegeboard really vid out qwuestion tho, or do we have to write to them,</p>

<p>because there was anoither question that was incorrect on math about vertical x+1
of a line that shifts down 3</p>

<p>if so im willing to write to them right now about bartholomew i need that questionnn ahaha</p>

<p>Wait though, “it” really could be wrong. Don’t jump to conclusions because of the consensus.</p>

<p>Again, I put no error for that one. If I’m wrong, I’m hoping -2 with a 12 essay will be 800. Hoping.</p>

<p>does any one know how to start your own thread? my question is does name recognition of your undergraduate school affect where you get accepted for graduate</p>

<p>@ kobe - yeah, the college board reviews questions all the time b/c people often complain about them. if you were going to contact them, they’re used to it, and they’d probably look it over. i think that it was either a very, very, very hard question and C was the answer, or they meant to have it as E, but if they do review it they will probably void it…they’ve had to do that before</p>

<p>yupp “it” is def not clear</p>

<p>Yeah kobe, you can definitely write to them. what was wrong with that math one?</p>
