<p>Well no one has made a writing thread yet, so I thought I would make one.</p>

<p>Don't think anyone remembers, but on section 10 #9, does anyone remember which answer choice was correct? It was about the invention of cinder-blocks or something.</p>

<p>I accidentally made an error and skipped that question. By the time I realized, I had just enough time to fix the bubbling errors and bubble in an answer that just looked right lol.</p>

<p>I thought I did decent on the essay. My examples were polio vaccination, civil rights act of 1965, and the Magna Carta. I couldn't really think of any literary works to help support my view.</p>

2

<p>For the essay, I filled out 2 pages with 4 paragraph, talking about how FDR’s new deal struck each problems down by promoting progress and Dr. House’s team calling for progress by treating symptoms and reducing one problem at a time …</p>

<p>This essay was better than my Clark kent essay talking about why discipline is needed</p>

3

<p>lol. Do you remember what you put down for #28 and 29 of the writing section?</p>

<p>Wasn’t #28 the one about the scientist creating a bacteria to use on the experiment? I remember picking “for use on” or something as the answer.</p>

<p>For 29 I was stuck between a and b. Part of the sentence was "…understand fully, in part because. I chose B “in part”. I thought it should’ve been partly.</p>

4

<p>@SAT i think you remembered 29 wrong. It was “understand full” and should be corrected to “understand fully”</p>

5

<p>For 28, I put NE because i was stuck between whether for “its” use or just for use on</p>

<p>and since I had 2 NE so far, I just went for the third NE … not sure if it was right or not.</p>

<p>I need more info on 29 … cannot remember …</p>

6

<p>@inject Really? Damn, I got that one wrong. I spent so much time checking my first 11 (because half of the answers were B) that I didn’t have too much time left for the rest.</p>

7

<p>what did you guys put about the pin and the magnet?</p>

8

<p>I put either B or D (cant remember, i think D?) one was ambiguous it said something like "Rubbing a needle on a magnet will make it magnetic. I thought the “it” was ambiguous so I put the other one</p>

9

<p>@Cyno I put either D or E. Can’t remember.</p>

10

<p>@SAT100
Nah, the error was something else cuz i remember seeing “understand fully”</p>

11

<p>By rubbing it on a magnet, a needle will become magnetic</p>

12

<p>The answer to the magnet one started with “when” i think</p>

13

<p>And did anyone get “more harsh” for an answer</p>

14

<p>when rubbed on a magnet, a needle becomes magnetic</p>

15

<p>I am not super pleased with my essay. I said that progress is replacing big problems we find unacceptable with smaller problems we find more acceptable. Used cellphones, computers, and cars as examples. Cellphones: solved communication problems, we accept higher levels of stress and vehicle accidents as a result. Computers, we trade instant access to knowledge for privacy invasion and viruses. Cars, we trade faster travel for the risk of injury in an accident. I had to rush a lot though and I didn’t have much of a conclusion. It sounds much more articulate explaining it here than it did while I was trying to write it.</p>

16

<p>@purple, thats the right answer right there</p>

17

<p>What was the question that had “understand fully”??? because everyone is talking about that one… I am positive I got it right and could help but can’t remember it.</p>

18

<p>ARobins it was #29, or the last identifying error question. </p>

<p>@purple, I am glad you remember “understand fully” too. What did you put as the answer? I figured since it said “understand fully” the part after the comma should’ve been “partly” rather than “in part”.</p>

19

<p>@arobins, I believe the error was “much of her projects” where it should have been “many of her projects”. Might be wrong though</p>

20

<p>Krungle that’s what I put, but I wasn’t sure either.</p>
