<p>I put down of which. - I wasn’t 100% sure tho</p>

102

<p>what was the question exactly? i think put down “elements of which” or “many of which” something like that. but which, definitely.</p>

103

<p>“Greek and Roman literature” I put singluar …crapp</p>

<p>was that experimental?</p>

104

<p>I would say so.</p>

105

<p>Does anyone else remember if the Greek and roman lit question was experimental?</p>

106

<p>No…I remember there was something like that for improving sentences. However, I don’t think I paid attention at all to whether it was singular or plural…I just remember that there was an appositive after the word “literature” and I somehow narrowed the answer choices down to something ending with “-ed” and “-ing”. I ended up going with the “-ed.” I had a math experimental btw.</p>

107

<p>Question 1: Is the Bees one “runs” because the story takes place in the past, so its supposed to be “ran”?</p>

<p>Question 2: What was the barthomelew one No Error. It cant be astonishes because it said “still” so its present</p>

108

<p>No, that Greek lit question was in the final 10 min section, so it wasn’t experimental…</p>

<p>Also, for the unplugging cell phone question, I’m pretty positive that there was a “you” because I specifically checked for it. And if “you” was in the sentence, then it has to be “just by”, right?</p>

109

<p>1321432–there was no error in the secret life of bees one, because you can talk about events in books in the present tense.</p>

110

<p>

</p>

<p>Personally, I’ve always been taught that one should discuss literature in the present, so I put no error.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I think it was “Just”. The sentence was something like, “____ unplugging your cellphone can save energy.”</p>

111

<p>Alright, so what was the answer for the greek lit question?</p>

112

<p>Sequoia: </p>

<p>for this question, I put either B or C because it needed “that.” There were two clauses and one needed “that.” so that the sentence would be coherent instead of a run on</p>

113

<p>isn’t singular? it said greek and roman lit IS blah blah blah. I assumed lit was the subject and greek and roman were just adjectives.</p>

114

<p>Hey!</p>

<p>For the seqouia question, did u guys get “extend”. Shouldn’t it be changed to extending. I saw someone earlier in this thread say the error was “grow” but I’m pretty sure “extend” was wrong.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

115

<p>For the greek, roman literature, I put choice B. The original choice was a comma splice.</p>

116

<p>So the official 3 no errors were"</p>

<p>Set in ___, The secret life of bees</p>

<p>barthomelew </p>

<p>painting one…he knre the guy for so long…yet still surprised he bought the painting?</p>

117

<p>Sequoia:</p>

<p>I choice that “extend” because it should be “that extend.”</p>

118

<p>i got like 3 no errors, and i didn’t put no error for Bees.
I thought bartholemew was the painting one</p>

119

<p>for spot the error questions, what did you guys mark for the last one?</p>

<p>it went something like “Since he had little experience in sailing, it is up to the team, most of them were blahblahblah…”</p>

<p>Also, what was the error (if any) in the sentence having to do with lemons?</p>

<p>Sorry for being so vague but these two problems were really bugging me haha</p>

120

<p>No, when talking about a story, you use present tense…</p>
