<p>in page 669( section 8, pr 8), there is question #7, asking a vocabulary meaning of " MECHANICALLY" in its context clue.</p>

<p>i am really confused about this "correct" answer and its explanation. </p>

<p>according to the passage,
"UNLESS he is writing MECHANICALLY, the writer does NOT experience his writing as an act of creation ; he experiences it as an act of discovery."</p>

<p>I think the " unless" is used only in some CONDITIONAL SATEMENTs ( usually in LSAT) as a meaning of "if not".</p>

<p>so i equated this sentence like this...
NOT writing MECHANICALLY, Then NOT experience his writing as AN ACT OF CREATION. </p>

<p>so in its CONTRTA-POSITIVEly re-made statement...
Experience AN ACT OF CREATION, Then writing MECHANICALLY.</p>

<p>an answer choice C of #7 is "correct" according to its "correct" answer sheet and "explannation".</p>

<p>(c) un-imaginatively</p>

<p>i think, an correct answer rather ought to be like the word "IMAGINATIVELY" rather than the word "UN-IMAGINATIVELY"
because i equated the word "CREATION" with the word "IMAGINATIVELY".</p>

<p>Guys please, please, please help me? am i wrong? or am i right?</p>

<p>Unfortunately, here is your explanation:</p>

<p>When you see KAPLAN and practice tests for the SAT in the same sentence, ignore and move on. </p>

<p>Sounds harsh, but the example you offer is why some of us insist to NEVER use the PRACTICE TESTS produced by Kaplan, PR, Barron’s, Gruber’s, etc. </p>

<p>Throw them away!</p>

<p>I agree with Xiggi. I found that these type test questions are not what you will see on an actual SAT.</p>
