<p>Man. how does "even with 2 articles" seem inconsistent? the question asked "which of the following sentences would link best to the rest of the paragraph?" The author had just mentioned that there were only 2 accounts of the plane crash. THe "even with 2 articles" sentence would show that despite the dearth of information, the author was still able to come up with a blend of FACT and fiction. So the sentences fits in place. I just don't see how you know he originally intended to write a biography... is it okay to pick an answer choice that adds something to the essay beyond the author's purpose?</p>
<p>As a side note. did anyone else find this writing to be harder than usual? I took it in March and got an 800 (i missed only 1 MC)...and here I am unsure about 3 (these 2 questions and the last one on the test).</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure that it was explicitly stated in the passage that Yep originally intended to write a biography of Fue. </p>
<p>I found the writing easy with the exception of one question from the Dragonwings passage and the last question. I would venture so far as to say that the College Board didn't do a good job of writing those questions. I previously scored an 800 on the SAT writing as well.</p>
<p>hmmm... are you sure it said that he intended to write a bio?? I remember searching for something like that, but I never found it in the essay. do you remember where in the passage he might have stated it?</p>
<p>i'm not sure, the wording just seems wrong to me. </p>
<p>is there anymore input as to whether the author should have extrapolated on the successful flight or chinatown? I though that since the author described the flight and its crash, and then mentioned that an airplane in flight for 20 minutes was unusual for the time, was sufficient. both the details of the flight and the implications of it received some mention, but nonetheless, take me with a grain of salt.</p>
<p>DiGamma: Chinatown would have been incongruous to the rest of the passage. Yes, the author mentions Chinatown in the last sentence, but I think if he just randomly popped something in about Chinatown in the middle of the passage it would have been out of place (amid the description of Fue's flights)</p>
<p>So what's the consensus on the other question? I think "At the time" was wrong because I though it should have been "At the time when the Wright brothers were suceeding, Fue HAD built..." or no?</p>
<p>i agree... what was the purpose of the essay? was it describe the character's aviation skills, or to describe the book? I think it was to discuss the book...in which case all the focus didnt need to be put on the second successful flight. he needed to touch upon chinatown. he told us in the last sentence that the book had excellent description of chinatown in 1900s... but what is chinatown? what did it include? he leaves that out, making the essay weaker.</p>
<p>well d3!ty... the question didnt specify WHERE he needed to include info about chinatown... it could have just been a continuation of the sentence like "...and an excellent depiction of chinatown, [a city full of Chinese culture and customs], in the 1990s."</p>
<p>I agree that throwing in a sentence about Chinatown would have been incongruous with the rest of the paragraph. If I recall correctly, the question made it unclear as to HOW MUCH information the author could add. If he could introduce an entire paragraph, then Chinatown would seem more sensible. If he could only add a sentence, then the second flight would be better. Flippin' College Board.</p>
<p>I don't think it should have been "had built." I don't think "had built" makes sense in that context.</p>
<p>Uhm, for a writing question about girls wanting their own bed and an additional expense for their parents, was the error THEIR bed? The subject was each girl so shouldn't it be her own bed? Yea, anyone remember this?</p>
<p>Damn SoL are you sure? I though the error was in "family paid more than it anticipated" because it should be "family paid more than it anticipated to"? I thought the pronoun was clear in that one</p>
<p>yeah im sure cuz each is singular.
it would be "each wants"... not "each want"... so each needs a singular pronoun. their isnt singular. her is.</p>
<p>Which math section was the experimental on the black and white covered exam with the beauty essay, CR section 2, and math sec. 3? i think it was math section 7, the one with the graph that took up a whole page on driving and years and ages. It had two questions referring to one graph.</p>
<p>Yikes! I never miss any on those correcting paragraphs, but this one looks brutal. I am remember being unable to find any plans of the author to write an autobiography, so I ruled that one out. </p>
<p>"So what's the consensus on the other question? I think "At the time" was wrong because I though it should have been "At the time when the Wright brothers were suceeding, Fue HAD built..." or no?"</p>
<p>What's the call on this one? I put the "at the time" one b/c it seemd like the other answer put the emphasis on the Wright brothers, not the Chinese person.</p>
<p>Raw: I didn't have any questions where 2 referred to the same graph. Must have been experimental.</p>
<p>Right but wouldn't "the family paid more than it had anticipated" be a sentence fragment? Because I was pretty sure the last one had clear pronouns</p>
<p>i just looked at the old barron's sat2 writing book and it has an example just like this question which shows that "each" needs to be paired with "her."</p>
<p>here's an example of "more than anticipated" being used in a sentence in an official publication (ADAS):</p>
<p>"The implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) is set to cost far more than originally anticipated, with billions of Euros being spent ..."</p>
<p>all right. does anyone remember any tricky CR questions? What did you all put for the one about the meaning of "subscribed to"... i put views they endorsed.</p>
