<p>“Food” and “rather” are correct</p>
<p>I forgot the wording of the question…but does anybody remember what they got for the blah blah blah harlem renaissance blah blah blah a part. one?</p>
<p>for harlem renansance its “a part” @uofstudent101</p>
<p>sorry, I was asking for the question right before the a part question. it was something we do right before the harlem renaissance</p>
<p>i forgot the underlined portion for the harlem renasance.
and for anybody. the one part where they said “what if blah blah “isn’t” on display”?
the “isn’t” was the underlined portion. is it “its not???” (Choice D)???</p>
<p>^ it has to be “isn’t”. “its not” is incorrect between in that context “its” should be a contraction because it is possessive.</p>
<p>“recapture” or gain" ?</p>
<p>recapture because the narrative talked about how she was trying to revive the harlem renaissance from the 1920s. in this context, revive = recapture</p>
<p>It was recapture.</p>
<p>For the problem involving the Challenger and the newly emerging African-American writers…Was it “Really shined a light on” or was it “Tried to focus on”? I put the latter, but it was a toss up in my mind. </p>
<p>Anyone have any ideas?</p>
<p>i said “tried to focus on” because it was more clear than saying “really shined a light on”. Think about it, which sounds more fluid? If you were speaking and the chance for you to say those two phrases came up, which would you use?</p>
<p>Yes, that is why I ended up putting “Tried to focus on”… Really shined a light on sounded really clunky and out of sync with the rest of the essay. But I’m not sure it was truly grammatically incorrect or anything. But thanks dfree for confirming :)</p>
<p>did anyone get a few “omit the underlined” phrases? i got a few, and it psyched me out
that, and there were quite a few no errors</p>
<p>I may have got like 2 or 3 of those</p>
<p>Amandagrace: I did get quite a few of those when the phrase that was omitted was repetitive, already mentioned or the sentence made sense without the phrase/word. </p>
<p>The question that asked, which one is not an acceptable alternative: sometimes, once in a while, now and then, and sparsely…which one wasn’t acceptable?</p>
<p>I put sparsely…wasn’t 100% sure though.</p>
<p>i said sparsely too cause I thought sparse = rare. All the other options had the connotation that they would happen more frequently than rarely. My explanation probably doesn’t make much sense but w/e :)</p>
<p>hazy you’re right, most of the omits i got were repetitive and redundant.
i put sparsely, and i’m almost 100% sure that’s correct… the others all made sense and sparsely just sounded wrong</p>
<p>Why is “Tried to focus on” correct over “Really shined a light on”?</p>
<p>@dfree
it should have been sometimes because sometimes does not have a comma afterwards.</p>
<p>I got like 4 D’s in a row once or twice (the second time it might have been another letter) this through me off… I saw that it was discussed earlier in this thread but i just want to confirm. And did anyone think that this was the GREATEST essay ever?</p>
