<p>If a noun is preceded by a preposition its the object (object of the preposition), so it's "between you and me" right?</p>
<p>@ ithebigc, "that" was ok. I'm pretty sure "has shrunk" is now ok. "has shrunk" is also correct, but since the sentence as is has no error, I now believe the correct choice was E.</p>
<p>Dang.... -1 on writing for me =/ (prays for 11-12 essay)</p>
<p>If you disagree w/ me and think it should be "had" please please step forward and make me feel better :P</p>
<p>Ugh! So there was nothing wrong with A, "That"?</p>
<p>Crap. I was going to put no error!</p>
<p>i put A lol</p>
<p>wellll, lolcats, </p>
<p>that the theives WERE unable to sell the jewelry meant that the market HAD shrunk.</p>
<p>or whatever the sentence is.
I put D like you too, i thought it was "shrunken" but that's definitely wrong.
However, .... maybe the tense is the issue?</p>
<p>if you wanted to use "has" the sentence would be:</p>
<p>That the thieves ARE unable to sell the jewelry MEANS that the market HAS shrunk.</p>
<p>a difference between past-perfect and present-perfect? </p>
<p>who knows!</p>
<p>still debating ovwer hte has shrunk lol i hope it's d but i have a feeling its d</p>
<p>eh i hope collegeboard won't only throw one no error at us xD
/hopes its E</p>
<p>For the improving paragraphs one, with the shovel</p>
<p>Did you guys put the sentence that "ppl were outraged" after sentence 2 or sentence 3? Honestly, I thought they fit into both pretty well.</p>
<p>i put after 2, before they talked about the quotes from the people
three and four were quotes from people i think</p>
<p>Yeah, 3 and 4 were quotes. Too bad that sentence fit perfectly between them and before them too -__- Anyone else? What did you guys put? The more opinions the better.</p>
<p>to all who had the writing section with the strip mall,</p>
<p>do you remember what you got for Benjamin Franklin negotiating a treaty question in section 10?</p>
<p>^that was a complicated one. i think i put either b or c.</p>
<p>it was B; "and, in effect, represents"</p>
<p>i put that too</p>
<p>what was the twins one???????????????????????????????????????</p>
<p>i put no error cause i couldnt find any.."need not" seemed fine</p>
<p>I put after sentence 2 for the paragraph one.</p>
<p>And astro I totally agree, that was the line of thinking I used to pick D as wrong. But you know what tells me it was E? </p>
<p>a. There was only one other E
b. A lot of people were tricked thinking it was supposed to be "shrunken." So that makes it most likely a wrong answer. </p>
<p>Because although "had" is good, there is nothing wrong with saying "has" now that I think about it =/</p>
<p>But I really hope I am wrong about this! :P</p>
<p>What about the one with the author, how he "has been described" as something with spending money? At first I thought they might mean that his contemporaries described him like that, so it should be "had described" but I ended up putting no error for the heck of it.</p>
<p>And what about the last writing question, how the shovel-paragraph could be improved? I said that an example of how it's appealing would be nice, but I'm not sure at all. =X</p>
<p>^ yes, that's what I put for the shovel one.</p>
<p>crap, i missed the treaty one, i put in effect, it represents.. but i guess thats an ambiguous pronoun</p>
<p>Anyone remember the one about buying a car?</p>
<p>My father suggests that before buying a car, I have it inspected.
My father suggests that before I buy a car to have it inspected.</p>
<p>I think I put the first one. I don't see how "I buy a car" can function as an object of the preposition "before."</p>
