<p>On the one with the students and microscopes (I suck at math, don't laugh):
(if he gave every student a microscope, there would be six microscopes too little, and if he had twice the microscopes, he would have 6 left over. how many students)</p>

<p>i did</p>

<p>s=m+6
s=2m-6</p>

<p>m+6=2m-6
m=12
shoot</p>

<p>heh, now i realize what i did wrong. stupid.</p>

<p>12+6=18</p>

<p>crud.</p>

<p>it was singular mask and was a subject-verb agreement question</p>

<p>i had no error too, but some people say like change "its" appearance should be their appearance.
I argue that the masks donht change teh appearance of a person. The person is the same. The intercahbngeable parst, howver, xchange teh appeareance of teh MASK, so NO ERROR.</p>

<p>there was one with an business and market reports.</p>

<p>some of the answers were vaunted, beguiled, enervated. i answered beguiled, anyone did the same?</p>

<p>was "its" in the original sentence?</p>

<p>I thought it should have been changed to their, because it was referring to the faces of the people who wear the masks</p>

<p>dont remember</p>

<p>I got risks acceptable on the CR question. Why? He doesn't comment on whether it is riskier or less risky, instead brushing it off by saying we eat GMOs anyway in natural food. he does spend a lot of time discussing the benefits, however.</p>

<p>it was vaunted</p>

<p>inthemonkey,
I dont think so bc the people's appeareances stay the same. The only thing that changes is t he MASK's appearance. IT.</p>

<p>i concur with mathwiz, it's definitely it</p>

<p>I dont know, u might be right I cant remember the question very well</p>

<p>i thought vaunted was an adjective, which threw me off</p>

<p>but masks was plural
it wasn't "mask", it said "masks"
the right answer was "it"
it is ambiguous</p>

<p>for the writing section......... the question in the last part, about the best way to combine the sentences, what was the answer?</p>

<p>I asked my English teacher (went to Harvard, if that means anything) - he said it's plural because there is NO singular antecedent for "its" to refer to: the only two possible antecedents were Masks and People (yes, it was masks, not mask, and i'm 100% sure), and both are plural so "its" is wrong so E is wrong - it should be their</p>

<p>Tell your English teacher that he obviously needs to go back to harvard.
Also, I would check if he has a teaching degree.</p>

<p>We concluded the answer is E!!!!!</p>

<p>IT</p>

<p>How many E's in the find the error in writing diod people get?</p>

<ol>
<li> look in the past 35 pages. we said it like 20 times. it was "their" ftw</li>
