<p>I chose the insistence on one as well. I thought the writing section was easy this round.</p>
<p>yea, it was insistence on the family to gather</p>
<p>I vaguely remember seeing the so ___ that idiom on the test. Do you guys remember it?</p>
<p>Are the two choices being debated: “insistence on the family to gather” and “insistence that the family gather”?</p>
<p>I honestly don’t remember the exact wording.</p>
<p>yeah seriously, same. does anyone remember any harsher question ? I selected more harsh should be harsher. also I got a lot of B’s in the first improving sentence section…</p>
<p>Yeah, I remember a section that I had a lot of Bs in too. I don’t remember the harsh one.</p>
<p>Yeah I was thinking ***… and also it was like When all she had know was something, he was treated more harsh but i think it should have been harsher</p>
<p>yea, one of the errors was more harsh… that sentence had something to do with a boy making an excuse about going to some rehersal or something and the teacher was treating him “more harsh” before she heard his excuse.</p>
<p>I just thought it was suppose to be harshly lol not harsh</p>
<p>well regardless there was something wrong with the harsh superlative.</p>
<p>Ok, quick question. I know people had different orders for their exams, but for people with the experimental writing section- was it the first writing section (like section 3) that was the experimental or the second one (like section 6 or 7)?
Also, what was the improving sentence structure part (questions 29-34) for the experimental section and for the real section? Thanks</p>
<p>I feel like the confusion regarding the ‘insistence’ question revolves around the fact that insistence is a noun, while insist is a verb. Also, I think that it is improper to insist ‘on’ an action and that ‘that’ would be more appropriate for the situation. Anyone have clarification?</p>
<p>@asd </p>
<p>that is generally how I thought insist on and insist that are to be used, especially when looking at this list: [Use</a> insistence in a sentence | insistence sentence examples](<a href=“http://sentence.yourdictionary.com/insistence]Use”>Examples of "Insistence" in a Sentence | YourDictionary.com)</p>
<p>However, people keep arguing that “insistence that” is impossible or inappropriate in this situation for reasons that I’m still trying to search for. I’ve looked through silverturtle’s guide; though I’ve found information stating that “insist on” is indeed an idiom, I have yet to see anything stating that “insist that” is incorrect…</p>
<p>It was “insistence that the family gather”.</p>
<p>I am compiling a list right now that adds to my previous 11.</p>

I thought the “for use in the experiment” was no error? </p>
<p>Also, for the question about one author being not as intricate, I think the answer was “than were” not “as were”.</p>
<p>no it was insistence on. it was idiomatic, one of the last questions in the end of the WR section. We’ll there really is no use arguing. I’m sorry to say that I think I got an 800 on writing. The idiom was there I don’t get how people keep defending insist that. just no.</p>
<p>@ alarge</p>
<p>I still don’t quite see your reasoning here… the sole presence of an idiom doesn’t mean it’s the best sentence.</p>
