<p>The first No Error was about someone who voices “Japanese anime”, right? Or am I mixing that up with another one?</p>
<p>do u guys rememer the wroding of the egypt pyramids question. it was the writing section</p>
<p>purple potato poeple are saying that it was supporsed to be “better”, not best, but i think it could be no error, but the consesus is “best”</p>
<p>@Iwantthis ok. That doesn’t surprise me… that section of Writing was the section of the entire PSAT that I was most worried about after finishing the test. Hoping for the best :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I put A for that question, and I believe it was discussed earlier on this thread, with some dispute over A vs. E.</p>
<p>It said “Best known for…” while listing two achievements - voice-overs in cartoons and her appearance in the 1964 movie - which indicated to me that it should read “Better known for…” although some people disagreed.</p>
<p>iwantthis:</p>
<p>i was unsure about that, i put no error- any confirmation?</p>
<p>@purplepotato, I think the Japanese voice actress one should have been “Though better known” because it compares her renown for two roles that she has had. </p>
<p>@altamash, the Egypt pyramids question went something like: The research has discovered ancient ruins that are believed to be built (insert ancient year here) ago. I chose “to be built” as my error because I felt it should have been “to have been built.”</p>
<p>Is there a possiblity of retaking a PSAT if it’s being offered at another location on Sat? Can I somehow cancel my score for today’s test and register for Saturday or is it too late at this point? I worked so hard and bombed the first section only because I was overanalyzing and ran out of time. Left 8 questions unanswered. Did great in the other 4 sections.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>^ Agree, “to be built” didn’t fit the tense indicated in the sentence.</p>
<p>thnx susie and i wantthis</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>While “better known” may have been better to contrast the two achievements mentioned, there was no indication that a contrast between those two was intended instead of a contrast between that achievement and all her other achievements. Although “better known” may have changed the meaning, “best known” shouldn’t be wrong, because the intended meaning was unclear.</p>
<p>@purplepotato, I chose no error for this question and only found out later when my friend pointed out the error. I think because the construction says: Although she is better known for her voice acting in cartoons, she is ALSO known for her voice acting in (something else, I forget). My friend’s reasoning is that “also” indicates a comparison of two items, and “better known” is more logical for the sentence.</p>
<p>I interpreted the sentence in such a way that it was comparing two sources of her fame, suggesting that she is better known for her role in cartoons than her seemingly less popular appearance in a 1964 movie. </p>
<p>I don’t exactly remember the sentence, and I may have over-analyzed it when I answered. I could certainly be wrong. :p</p>
<p>do u guys remember the tone of the girl when the father was distracted. the choices were resigned, disdain, and outraged. i put outraged, is tht right</p>
<p>I put resigned.</p>
<p>first: oh shat the egypt one said “thought to be built around 4000 years ago”? if so i failed to notice this obvious error.
second: for the japanese actress one, the sentence compared “her work in japanese cartoons” to her having “also starred in” a 1960’s movie. This would indicated the need to change “best known for” to “better known for,” but i failed to notice this error as well, so i said no error.</p>
<p>I put disdain. Several other people are saying resigned.</p>
<p>definitely, without a doubt, resigned for the girl and her father</p>
<p>I’m certain it was resigned.</p>
<p>outraged is too harsh. in the passage she simply resumes playing- this is resigned.</p>
