<p>I was wondering what the answer is (and why) to these two Writing questions:</p>
<p>Because they provide realistic models for decision-making in situations involving risk and uncertainty, games like poker interest many politicians and military strategists. No error</p>
<p>To a degree, the past is what people have interpreted it to be; nevertheless, it is fixed, and to suppose it changeable is to be foolish indeed. No error</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Do you know the answers, or are you just trying to make sense of it?</p>
<p>1st sentence: I don't think there's any error.
2nd sentence: I think "indeed' is unnecessary and a bit awkward. That's the only error I can find in the sentence.</p>
<p>Nope, I don't know the answer to these. I put No Error for both of them, but I'm not sure if my answers are correct.</p>
<p>Hm, well I'm not totally sure of my answers, so leave it up to the other forum members to either verify or disprove my answers.</p>
<p>Ah ok, thanks for your input!</p>
<p>I think both of them are no error.</p>
<ol>
<li>Instead of "models for" it should be "models of", so B is wrong</li>
<li>No error (note that fully deleting a choice is not allowed, so even if indeed is wordy as long as it grammatically sound the sentence is correct)</li>
</ol>
<p>For 1, it's sort of ambivalent, but I think "of" serves the sentence far better than "for" does.</p>
<p>Hm... I thought about the of/for thing for number 1, but decided to keep it as it is, because it still makes sense with the for, but I'm not 100% sure about that either =.</p>
<ol>
<li>I agree "models for" should be changed into "models of"</li>
<li>"to suppose it" should be "to suppose it to be", I think</li>
</ol>
<p>^ #2 already has to be,
my answer is 1 E and 2 E =l
where did u get this? how can u not know the answer lol</p>
<p>but the "to be" you are talking about has a different function, the same function as "to suppose": to suppose ... is to be foolish. what I mean is: </p>
<p>"... to suppose it to be changeable is to be foolish indeed."</p>
<p>no, you're adding extra lot of stuff, suppose it changeable is perfectly sound, to me at least.</p>
<p>like: i consider the flower pretty
i consider the flower to be pretty.
i'd say the former is better than the latter. im not even sure if the latter is grammatically ok lol.</p>
<p>Yeah definitely nothing wrong with number 2</p>
<p>so what are the actual answers loaded?
i won't add my input bcuz i'm confused myself- but i would like to know the answers to see if my guesses are correct
and where did u find these?</p>
<p>^Did you read the thread? Loaded doesn't know the answers.</p>
<p>Yeah, sorry guys, I don't have the answers yet =. These questions are from a packet of Writing questions from previous official SATs and PSATs that my SAT teacher gave me. I <em>should</em> have the answers by this Sunday, so if I do get them, I'll definitely post them up.</p>
