Official Dec 2012 ENGLISH thread

<p>Well I voiced over a newscast in my head like how they might say “Richard Shaw, 98, is currently the oldest ■■■■■■■ in the city”. So I mean saying the age like that is esoteric but it makes sense? I’m pretty sure that if it lacked the comma like that it wouldn’t make sense</p>

<p>Shoot I got it wrong than. I somehow knew it was also but I couldn’t justify saying ,thirteen, was right.</p>

<p>wait, i thought the a/c were ,thirteen, and ,then thirteen,
the one that was wrong was neither of the two (?)</p>

<p>It was “(her name whatever), then thirteen” that was wrong…all the other three were right, for this one to be right, there should have been a comma after “then thirteen” otherwise it sounds like “thirteen” is another person. Is my answer correct chaps? It was “C” if I recall correctly…</p>

<p>Yes, there needs to be a comma after thirteen. You cannot say “Steve, then thirteen killed his neighbor.” Yes, the other ones sounded weird, but the comma gave it away.</p>

<p>Haha…YuP</p>

<p>RR2022, you’re right. a/c ,thirteen, and ,then thirteen, were correct. So ,then thirteen… was wrong.</p>

<p>I don’t remember it specifically, but if it was like, “The boy, (then) thirteen, did such and such” it would definitely need a comma both before and after, so any answer choice without those two commas is wrong.</p>

<p>Did we reach a consensus on the question with “few or no environmental controls” as one of the answers? That’s what I put because it asked which statement best set up the next sentence, which was all about temperature/humidity/light factors. I didn’t think it would actually make sense to put the paintings somewhere -without- environmental control, but it said “assuming all the answer choices are true” so I just went with it. Opinions?</p>

<p>yes that’s true.</p>

<p>does anybody remember what was the first sentence of the paragraph with the “placed in groups” sentence? Was it something like “the department of smth” a/c E or J (?)</p>

<p>i personally did not put that. The fact is that it isn’t true that they are stored with few or no environmental controls. They went on to say that they had to control the temperature because it could damage it. </p>

<p>The sentence in question was a statement. I think it was the offsite answer, but I’m honestly not sure. I initially thought it was the controls, but then that would was soon contradicted later in the paragraph, I believe.</p>

<p>it was actually “few or no environmental controls” because the next sentence was “humidity,t, light” and, next, the passage talked about damage.I’m pretty sure.</p>

<p>For the last question on the English section, the question asked where to put Paragraph 4 I think. I put A (Where it is now) Did anyone else put that?</p>

<p>can you remember what was it about?</p>

<p>@readymed, i don’t remember the question but i do know i didn’t keep any of the paragraphs where they were, and i’m fairly certain i got a 36 on english.</p>

<p>Did anyone get a lot of D’s/J’s? I didn’t get any for the first 10, but then I got a lot. I think I even got like 4 in a row.</p>

<p>Edit: Also did anyone get JAJB for the last four?</p>

<p>there was surely one place where are paragraph needed to be put at the beginning somewhere. But I’m not sure if it was the last a/c.</p>

<p>Pretty sure the paragraph was supposed to be placed after paragraph 1 or 2. I think it might have been b?</p>

<p>Well, on the last one I didn’t have time to read it so I’m not sure what choice B said</p>

<p>The one where you had to move the place of the paragraph in the museum passage. It was supposed to go after paragraph 2 I think?</p>
