<p>i remember the sentence, but i dont remember what it said, clarify?</p>

<p>PTang: Wandering was the problem, because it implied that the place he went to was wandering, not that he was the one doing the wandering.</p>

<p>What did you guys have for the Jane Eyre question?</p>

<p>you rememeber the improving sentence...one in section 10....the one with columbia and equador..." more than twice...something something...
what was the asnwer???</p>

<p>was it when compared to?</p>

<p>I put the error on wandering cuz it looked like the wandering was describing the place and not the subject.</p>

<p>I said that wandering was the error because a building or whatever can't be wandering. i don't know</p>

<p>it was something like this:</p>

<p>"quioa [or something like that] is a grain that provides all our body's protein; thus being a complete and (something something)"</p>

<p>is section 3 always your experimental?</p>

<p>nah the sentence was:"what i put is in quotes"</p>

<p>quoia is......a complete protein, "one that provides....." </p>

<p>otherwise its a comma splice.</p>

<p>2 or 3 is USUALLY exp.</p>

<p>what did u guys get for no error?</p>

<p>did anyone get #28 (second to last one) no error?</p>

<p>i chose the option that had no punctuation (semicolon or comma at the beginning) i think</p>

<p>and no, experimental is a random one, otherwise people just wouldnt do it</p>

<p>My essay was hilarious dudes/dudettes! It sounded like a good idea at the time, I couldn't stop myself from writing down this truly messed up crap, but now I'm having second thoughts. Hopefully my readers will read my essay after reading a trillion others, so that it may make them laugh themselves into giving me the high score.</p>

<p>yeah mine was kinda lame too. I talked about america and bill gates and alexander the great. And i think in each of my paragraphs i just stated the same thing like 4 times. then as a conclusion i said something completely random just to use some big word. Its kind of funny to look back.</p>

<p>For the seeds of peace... where did you guys move the sentence? To the beginning of paragraph one.</p>

<p>likeatuesday, that was about the camp thing right? If so, yes, I moved it to the beginning (after sent 4, before sent 5.) of paragraph one. </p>

<p>Does anyone know what the experimental was?????</p>

<p>nyjunior,</p>

<p>Wouldn't that be the beginning of paragraph <em>2</em>? That's what I chose, I believe.</p>

<p>Which one was the bird one?? Was that the one involving the choices of "as inhabit" and "than inhabit"?</p>

<p>Yes... it is the one with "as inhabit" and "than." My answer was "than."</p>

<p>Oh yeah, that's what I meant, before the first sentence of paragraph 2, sentence 5... <em>slaps his face</em>. I'm way too exhausted now, as you can see.</p>

<p>For the bird one, I chose "than..."</p>

<p>"did anyone get #28 (second to last one) no error?"
Yep.</p>

<p>The bird one was the only one that really stumped me. Usually grammar just 'clicks' for me... but that one didn't =( I think that it is definitely 'than.' I put one of the 'as' ones (b?) but I know that's not right... "As" is used when two things are "equal" (as many as, as good as, etc.) AAaaggghh. It's depressing to think that I did better on the PSAT Writing than on the SAT Writing...</p>

<p>The essay was so easy. I used the Great Gatsby as an example- I thought that everyone would.</p>
