SAT Writing

<p>@Justin, that’s what I put…it shouldn’t be when it should be that</p>

<p>i thought “when” was the error for the “it wasn’t until…” question it should be “that” instead</p>

<p>I put “of traveling in the opposite.”
Why wouldn’t this be right?
Can someone explain this to me…:(</p>

<p>anybody remember what they think were the no error sentences?</p>

<p>parallel structure - you’re comparing the amount of energy expended, if you said “of traveling in the opposite” it wouldn’t match</p>

<p>@giraffe: for that energy one was it “than that used…”</p>

<p>i think i put the one that started with “that…”</p>

<p>oh wait yeah, same one</p>

<p>i at least change between however and whereas for 5 times…now i dont remember what i really put…</p>

<p>Ah fudge. Because of Earth’s gravity, the energy expended in traveling from the Earth to the Moon, is greater than that of traveling in the opposite direction. I don’t think parallel structure matters here though. What does matter is what you are comparing. Here i think they’re comparing “energy expended” and “the other energy expended”. so why can’t the other energy expended be implied?</p>

<p>I’m with bleach but I could be wrong.</p>

<p>I agree with bleach as well</p>

<p>if you look at other writing questions, they demonstrate the same principle </p>

<p>this is from a practice test: </p>

<p>“Meals prepared by the Algonquin Indians, who were farmers as well as hunters, included more maize and <strong>pumpkin than other Indian tribes</strong>” </p>

<p>answer: “pumpkin than did those prepared by other Indian tribes”</p>

<p>Was it NE for the one with the fish and researchers??</p>

<p>Number 28 - I forgot the whole context however I do remember that WHO was underlined and i chose that. anyone else recall?</p>

<p>Did anyone write “That of Louisiana” or am I alone on this one?</p>

<p>And did anyone change the New Jersey sentence to make New Jersey singular?</p>

<p>that of louisana is wrong, its whereas Louisiana’s</p>

<p>I think it was that of traveling in the opposite direction because it is parallel as a gerund is implied as an adjective (I see it as saying the same thing as: kinetic (IDK?) energy is used here more than that used there." I think adjectives are implied and a gerund acts as an implied comparison.
Who in AP Latin used Book One of De Bello Gallico for the essay (with Ariovistus?)? I was so proud of that.</p>

<p>eh, I think I had a difference exam from the one you’re talking about, are you guys international? I had Writing as Experimental with One of them the passage was about Egypt. Any discussion about the writing of this exam?</p>

<p>I can see the problem with that question since it is comparing pumpkin and maize to Indian tribes. However this sentence is comparing energy expended of one thing to that of another. I’m no a grammar expert so if I’m doing something wrong here please say.</p>
