<p>The butterfly one was about the pattern made of oxygen and something else.</p>

262

<p>The Wendy question said something about how the writer of Peter Pan invented the name “Wendy”.</p>

263

<p>the wendy thing is improving the sentence.
a. there is some speculations that wendy is blah blah blah
c. wendy is by some speculations ( or suspicions?) peter pan blah blah blah.
don’t know why they say a is wrong.</p>

264

<p>I thought the original Wendy sentence was good?</p>

265

<p>oooh yea nvm about the butterfly i remember</p>

<p>and the wendy one, i forgot which one i picked! but i didn’t pick A, that’s all I remember.
“a. there is some speculations that wendy is blah blah blah”
if that was indeed choice A then it wouldn’t be right because it should be ARE…</p>

266

<p>i picked a too. c is shorter, but i check my dictionary and there is no idiomatic expression that says " by some speculations/ suspicions"</p>

267

<p>Yeah, I thought so too. “There is some speculation” is a lot better than “Wendy is by some speculation”. The second one is just awkward.</p>

268

<p>I put A I think - are you sure it said There is some speculations, not speculation (singular)?</p>

269

<p>i don’t know. it could have been speculation/ suspicion.</p>

270

<p>i don’t remember it saying suspicion…it said speculation</p>

271

<p>So the answer was definitely A, right? Anybody contradict?</p>

272

<p>It said speculation (singular, not plural).</p>

273

<p>@1a1: the collegeboard might contradict. that’s the end of the story. :)</p>

274

<p>anyone remember what the other choices were?
somehow I don’t think i chose A…</p>

275

<p>@snargaluff: i don’t remember the other choices, but i think they were awkward so could be eliminated.</p>

276

<p>ooh okay so i guess it’s A then?</p>

<p>what’s a -3 or 4 going to make the writing score?</p>

277

<p>did anybody put no error for the last find the error question? something about revising work before sending to the editor?</p>

278

<p>@1a1: I did!</p>

279

<p>last time i took the SAT, got -4 and 10 on my essay. it was only 710.</p>

280

<p>What was Sentence Completion architecture one? Was a choice… “Having never seen”?</p>
