October 2010 Writing SAT thread

<p>I agree with webass on the “so poor” sentence. It wasn’t “So poor”</p>

<p>“Would of” is an error correct? This was an IE question?</p>

<p>I’m going to stand by “By comparison” instead of “Indeed,” since I want to able to sleep tonight thinking I aced the MC section.</p>

<p>i had 2 writing sections… does anyone know which one was experimental? thanks!</p>

<p>99% sure it’s indeed.
The sentence was building on the previous point, not making a comparison.</p>

<p>why was it “in part” and not “which was in part”</p>

<p>it should’ve been would have. i agree with “indeed” because it was directly after the sentence mentioning that organic food costs more. (“Indeed, it is 40% >” backs up the previous sentence).</p>

<p>i put no error for the “the reason…is its”. not sure though</p>

<p>Can you remind me of the “indeed/comparision” question? I probably got it right.</p>

<p>

Yeah, but in that sentence he was comparing the price of organic foods to conventional foods, so shouldn’t it be ‘by comparison’</p>

<p>i thought “which was in part” was too wordy… “in part” alone made sense.</p>

<p>

It’s SAT man, come on, don’t be Joe Bloggs.</p>

<p>waitt… so nobody interpreted the prompt’s outdoors as outside of one’s habitat and natural environment as his or her hometown? T_T</p>

<p>Who else used Walden as an example on the essay? haha</p>

<p>I put indeed instead of by comparison, since it just sounds better. By comparison sounds a little awkward. I don’t really know what made me pick one over the other and can’t really explain why one is better (since they both seemed acceptable) but indeed just sounded better.</p>

<p>there was a question like “the reason the mammal … distinct form… is its ability to …” was this one no error?</p>

<p>i put no error. Hope so!</p>

<p>me too thanks!! :)</p>

<p>I had it’s, but I changed it to no error since I didn’t have any other no errors (for the mammal)</p>

<p>what was the exact question for the “in part” one?</p>

<p>it can’t be no error…it feels like the mammal question was missing a “that” so it should be “the reason…is that it has the ability…” not just “the reason…is its ability”</p>

<p>I put its as the error, but I had an NE (that was not the mammal question) that is really bugging me now. I know this isn’t helpful but I feel like it was #19.</p>
