<p>Tell that to PR. o_o</p>
<p>Yay, I guessed them all right.</p>
<p>For the second one, it really is a bad question. But ask instead of asked is the most intuitive answer.</p>
<p>The last one is incongruous tenses. The parents are not (past tense] citizens, nor *beginning<a href="present">/i</a> that process. They both should be past tense.</p>
<p>What about "everyday"?!?!?! Also, this.</p>
<p>Also, how is "are not" past tense? o__O</p>
<p>I saw that; it really is just a bad question. Ask was the only part that made sense intuitively to me, despite what you said.</p>
<p>Are not isn't past tense, sorry. I'm not quite sure what I was thinking. Are you seeing the parallelism with the "are", as applying to both phrases? In that case, the only thing I can say is that the sentence is constructed really poorly and sounds like crap with beginning there, in which case changing it to 'have begun' flows much better.</p>
<p>Edit: IDK, I really got through the grammar based on how it should sound, and the basic concepts of subject-verb and tense agreement.</p>
<p>Yeah, it flows terribly, but I can't put my finger on what is technically incorrect, except for the clause thing I mentioned earlier in the thread. </p>
<p>I got through Writing based on intuition and basic knowledge, too. You know that I didn't spend any of my time studying grammar rules like some people on this forum do, lmao. And I KNOW that "everyday" is wrong. >:[[[</p>
<p>I know, you're right. But with my experience on the SAT, if it sounds wrong, it is. For the purposes of the practice, I think knowing it sounds wrong is sadly useful enough.</p>
<p>On the everyday thing, I now clearly see why it is wrong. That seems to be a bit nuanced for a real SAT writing question, though.</p>
