<p>If any of you guys had that version of the test, discuss it here.</p>
<p>Here’s how my test wemt.</p>
<li>Exploitative/adversarial?</li>
<li>Does anyone remember the writing question Error ID that went: There have always been easy and friendly relations between my AUNT AND I, so blah blah…I had the error at “and I” shouldn’t it be “and me”?<br></li>
<li> Vituperative.</li>
</ol>
<p>1) I am not sure about the exploitative and adversarial one either :/
2) "Between and Aunt and I" is an error. You're right, it should be "and I".
3) Yeah, and I had Vituperative for that Sentence completition too.</p>
<p>it said Between my aunt and I in the sentence, no error</p>
<p>its not a DO so you use nominnitiave case</p>
<p>Between my brother and I, he is better at basketball.</p>
<p>I meant it should be "Between my aunt and me"</p>
<p>yeah, "me" is the object of the preposition, so between you and me is correct</p>
<p>are you sure about that, falcon?</p>
<p>It's definitely "me" and not "I". I just looked up the grammar things for the word "between" and it said it has to be "me".</p>
<p>yeah its me</p>
<p>by the way, how do you obtain junior member status on here?</p>
<p>What was the sentence with vituperative?</p>
<p>twas something like "the responses to her (something) were characterized as ------: (and then it described the word; the description fit only with vituperative)</p>
<p>how abt that passage about like the writer who liked to speak more?? that one was tough. so was the passage about the machines / brain thing.</p>
<p>yeah i remember those...what was the asnwer to the question: the author mentions scientists and philosophers in order to...</p>
<p>"Between my aunt and me" is definitely correct. An easy way to remember: would you say "Between we"? No, it's "Between us". The first person singular of "us" is always, always, always "me".</p>
<p>did anybody get 'erudite' as a answer on one of the SC questions?</p>
<p>no.
but I have two questions.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>There was an Error ID question something like: If she would have known the blah blah blah...she would have done something blahh blah. Is there an error in that sentence? I said no, but not that I think of it, shouldn't the first "would have" be "had"? </p></li>
<li><p>I can't think of it!</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I think I remember that one-- I think it was supposed to be "had"</p>
<p>Was this in the first or second test?</p>
<p>what do you mean? the first writing section or the second one?</p>
<p>can't remember</p>
<p>bummer, i put erudite on that one too. what was the answer?</p>
<p>Think of it like this . . . </p>
<p>Replace 'between' with some other preposition.</p>
<p>Between my aunt and I.</p>
<p>In front of my aunt and I.</p>
<p>In front of I.</p>
<p>I is wrong--it should be 'me'. At least that's what Kaplan told me.</p>

</p>
<p>I narrowed it down to . . . </p>
<p>A) show that the public allows some occupations to act autonomously and
B) show that public opinion can be circumvented</p>
<p>My reasoning was (A), because the end of the example said that scientists and philosophers would find it really amusing if the were limited by public opinion. From that, I could infer that scientist and philosphers weren't limited by public opinion in the status quo, which is why they would find limits 'amusing'. Therefore, the public allows them to act autonomously. I at first chose (B), but then I thought about it, and noticed that the example didn't really give any examples of how the scientists and philosphers had circumvented public opinion. On top of that, if you look at the context of the passage, it's all talking about how artists are fettered by public opinion. The author isn't saying "Hey, you can get around it, and here's how", the author is saying "Hey, why should artists' creativity be stifled? The public allows these guys to do what they want, they should let artists do it to."</p>
