USA June SAT 2011 Writing Discussion

<p>@rl It was something about historical landmarks and preservationists.</p>

<p>Speaking of which the one with the question about the “Landowners will be pleased to find that it would increase the value of their property” was the answer remove it from the essay?</p>

<p>the architecture preservationists was not experimental. </p>

<p>also what did people put for the one that was like had the schools taught certain languages, the state would have provided incentives for them?</p>

<p>Mindy, completely agree with your daughter. I had the same things, and I think I aced the architecture one, and got 1-2 wrong on the tech one (which luckily turned out to be experimental)</p>

<p>@rosh I think I left that one as it was.</p>

<p>were 19 and 22 both Es?
i think 19 was something about geese.
and for the very last question of the very last section, was the answer “you practice”? (or “to practice”?)</p>

<p>For the schools teaching certain languages:
I put ‘Were schools’ teaching… because the rest of the sentence was a ‘would have’ clause. Conditional and past go together.</p>

<p>The answer was you practice</p>

<p>i had were schools as well, and i put you practice too</p>

<p>@alauren: I also put Were Schools teaching.</p>

<p>so was the answer “you practice” for the last one on Section 10? That’s what I put. How is “do practice” right?</p>

<p>I feel like I put practicing, but I don’t really remember the structure of the sentence</p>

<p>Apparently the answer is “do practice”, but I put “you practice” =(</p>

<p>what was the salmon one?</p>

<p>How about the English and Scottish flag combining question: I put
Combined English stripes AND Scottish stripes</p>

<p>Another choice replaces AND with “also with”</p>

<p>another option: “was a combination of …”</p>

<p>How about the building where it said “were innovations of their time” I put D which identifies their and it should be its, because the antecedent is that Russian building.</p>

<p>does anyone remember the specific phrasing of the “practice” question?
I remember “you practice” being the only one that made any syntactic sense</p>

<p>Wait does anyone know for sure the answer to the practice one?</p>

<p>I put the one that had more words and and a comma’d phrase that said “years, before super skillyfully, they return…”</p>

<p>Its definitely “you practice”. That’s a test of English subjunctive and that is correct. If you know Spanish, you can see how it would carry over well into English</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure it was “you practice”</p>

<p>@goodscores
how does “do practice” work at all?
i recall the sentence as something like “…that, dependent clause, practice”
if you take out the dependent clause, how does “that do practice” make sense grammatically?</p>
