<p>The last sentence on my essay is only half done, will this reduce m score?</p>
<p>is it possible to get a 9 on the essay with only writing a 1.25 pages?</p>
<p>I left the politician question the same </p>
<p>I believe it was: although more skilled a politician.</p>
<p>I waffled back and forth on the politician question between leaving it the way it was and changing it to “Yet a more skilled politician.” I think I ended up choosing the latter. Kicking myself now :/</p>
<p>section 10 tricked me up with the foreign language one, the salmon one and the practice one but i think i did alright with it,
what section was the politician one on? was it in the long writing section or the short one?</p>
<p>For the guitar one, I put
After a few weeks of playing it, the guitar…</p>
<p>i think i did too? deathbynukes, i think it was “Only after playing it for a few weeks” and i was stuck between “did i start to feel comfortable with the guitar” and “did the guitar start to feel comfortable to me”</p>
<p>did the guitar start to feel conformable to me is incorrect. First of all, that is passive voice. Secondly, u would have a problem with modifiers. The subject should come right after the comma.</p>
<p>it was “I began to feel comfortable with the guitar.”</p>
<p>the reason is because the sentence started “Only after playing it for a few weeks” the it refers to the guitar, and the guy speaking is “I”. so you could rephrase the sentence to like, Only after I played it for a few weeks, did I begin to feel comfortable with the guitar, if that helps you see it a bit more cearly. but raza was right in saying that the subject has to come right after the comma. the subject was “I”.</p>
<p>Oh well that sucks. At least I can learn from my mistake.</p>
<p>Someone explain why the Honking Geese question is No error…its so awkward</p>
<p>^Awkward doesn’t necessarily mean there’s an error, and plus, Collegeboard isn’t asking us to make the sentence sound better, they’re simply asking us to identify the error. What did you think they error was?</p>
<p>@Aiminghigher: The politician question was in the last section, #10.</p>
<p>feeling an 800… trying not to jinx myself.</p>
<p>Consolidated list anyone?</p>
<p>The guitar question was 100% not “I began to feel comfortable”, since it said , after playing it for a few weeks, you have to ask yourself, after playing what? after playing the guitar. the guitar has to be the subject of the sentence after the comma. The answer would have to be something like “Only after playing it for a few weeks did the guitar feel comfortable to me” or anything along those lines as long as “the guitar” came right after the comma.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the answer to the salmon question?</p>
<p>other way around lilshady127.</p>
<p>when you introduce something with a participial phrase, you first must answer who’s doing the verbing. </p>
<p>in this case, the guitar isn’t doing the playing, you are. So the answer has to start with I.</p>
<p>I’m sorry that you can’t make up rules of grammar to fit what you answered on the SATs.</p>
<p>how much would -4 be?
and maybe im ■■■■■■■■ but i thought honking of geese would be singular?</p>
<p>Why honking geese question is NOT N.E.:</p>

<p>@Skorpius 7, quoted from that website (second set of boxes):</p>
<p>"If an exception or condition is just a few words, and seeing it first will avoid misleading users, put it at the beginning instead of the end.</p>

<p>Hence NE for the honking geese one.</p>
