It didn’t - you are basically saying that the cb would make a big three parallel structure mistake in the phrasing of that question

@grparker21 That’s what I put but I was freaking out over it because someone mentioned something else

@tommy22 I remember having a questionable no error between two other no errors, but I’m fairly certain there was an error with A for that middle one.

Emphatic vs analytical?
Dismissive vs incredulous?
Internet changing mind passage: disprove, support, or cast doubt on?

What was the answer to the six angles, and three are given, x, 2x, 3x? Can anyone explain to me how you did it too, I would really appreciate it

Simplified: Art Deco consists of straight lines, which contrast with the sinuous, curvy lines used in Art Nova.

“Straight lines” cannot possibly be the subject because it is preceded by “of” which is a preposition.

@questionasker123 Analytical, dismissive, cast doubt on

@JuicyMango If Art Deco is the subject, it doesn’t make sense to say “Art Deco contrasts with the sinuous, curvy lines”

@yolopad It was 30. Those 3 angles add to 180 degrees. 6x=180, so x=30.

@questionasker123 I put emphatic and dismissive.

I am almost certain it was underpinnings. You can have something familiar to you and still be bewildered by it, understanding its basis provides a better understanding.

@Kylemcgrogan That’s what I was thinking too, but the majority of people think it’s counterparts.

Oh wow. I feel so dumb now for missing that question that was easy

@grparker21 I agree, Art Deco can’t correspond with curvy lines.

If I filled up both pages by didn’t write a conclusion can I still break 10? Refer to page 92 to see my examples… Please help me what do you think I got?

@grparker21: “With” is also a preposition which nullifies “curvy lines” as being one of the main comparisons…Art Deco contrasts with Art Nova.

@JuicyMango The sentence ultimately says “which contrast with the curvy lines.” The only subject which makes sense in that comparison is the bold lines. “Which” refers to bold lines and “contrast” fits.

@JuicyMango If being a preposition keeps a noun from being a comparison, then Art Deco can’t contrast with Art Nouveau since Art Nouveau was in a prepositional phrase too. Again, it’s lines contrasting with lines.

Honestly, my biggest concern with the question is how one can have a curvy line, haha. :smiley:

@JuicyMango yeah I thought that too. But no one seemed to think that. I also thought that contrast was the error.

@Kylemcgrogan @grparker21 I think it’s underpinnings too. No idea why so many people are arguing for counterpart.
