<p>post 510: that was a misplaces modifier, I forget the whole sentence though.</p>
<p>writing question
his or her was wrong since individuals is plural. if it were individual then it would be his or her</p>
<p>“onto which muted colors were projected when flipping a switch”
muted colors is not the subject anywhere- the verb is passive (were projected), so “when flipping a switch” implies the same outside subject as the one that projected the muted colors. It’s not a split descriptive phrase like the PSAT likes to use so often… So it would have been correct.</p>
<p>Ok, for the gardening one, there was the question that asked the “tone” or something along those lines of the first paragraph. What were the choices and what was the answer? haha, can’t seem to remember what I put.</p>
<p>Agree with kayshoe</p>
<p>If the sentence for flipping above is correct, then the answer is no error. Had the sentence said “while flipping” then the argument about canvases not flipping switches would have been valid.</p>
<p>I agree with post 495.</p>
<p>I also put E. It sounded like the sentence would flow better.</p>
<p>does anyone remeber the sentence for the canada one?</p>
<p>Simplebmw ( nice contradictory name) r u talking about the writing soulless one?</p>
<p>another answer for the garden one was wistful nostalgia and there was also bitter resentment I think. I put wistful nostalgia because it said “ever since his comments, the garden has been effectively eliminated from discussions about nature” and I thought that mean he was yearning for the time before the comments. I hate questions like that one.</p>
<p>And can someone tell what a -8 CR, -2 Math, and -2 Writing would be?</p>
<p>Yeah I am talking about the soulless one. It was between soulless and E. E just seemed better to put in between sentence 2 and 3 because soulless sounded very repetitive.</p>
<p>@glenn, it was asking about a specific couple of lines, and I don’t think that quote was part of that section.</p>
<p>wry disapproval?</p>
<p>I don’t remember the canada one, but I remember it was correct because it alternated between pluperfect and perfect showing order of events. It was something about its gaining independence. It was definitely a no error.</p>
<p>yeah wry disapproval was the consensus, and I think it’s probably the right answer, although I did get a little of the nostalgia sense from the ever since then part.</p>
<p>I’m so sad I screwed up the parents and kids one. It’s always the easy ones. I almost left the perimeter one as 3/12 too. This is depressing :P</p>
<p>Does anyone have any idea of how this years test compares to past years? do you think the cutoffs will generally go up or down? last year it was pretty high (atleast for ny)</p>
<p>well i was aiming for the scholarship but not so much now
what do you guys think this is?</p>
<p>math -1, -2 on the grid in
cr - 3
writing -3</p>
<p>and what opportunities open up for me with this score?</p>
<p>i put nostalgia as an answer too because he seems to really miss the times ppl wrote about nature in books as gardening…</p>
<p>I really believe the flipping was a dangling modifier, because part beginning with “a canvas” is saying that when the switch is flipped, the muted colors would project on the canvas.</p>
<p>However, the example said a canvas onto which muted colors were projected when flipping a switch. The flipping a switch is about the muted colors being projected, but in context, it’s saying that the canvas is doing the flipping or at leAst there is no indication that the girl is doing the flipping.</p>
