| I believe 'need not' is correct. Just like: Someone does not need to be perfect to get into an Ivy League. Comparatively: Someone need not be perfect to get into an Ivy League.
While 'need not' is definitely not vernacular, it's not grammatically incorrect. Remember that the SAT tests English, not American. They try to be tricky and include questions like the one cited above. Even if it sounds funky, if it's not wrong, it's right! | |

| out of the 5, there were 3 negatives--x^3, x, and x^-3.
so it must be one of those.
and the largest negative was x^3 since the number was b/t -1 and 0 | |

| @ page 42....
23(n-1) = (50-p)90
(n,p) ={ (1,50), (91,27), (181,4) }
-- why was it necessarily the point (1, 50)? | |

| ""need not buy" was WRONG the subject of the sentence was "Someone" so the correction would be "needs""
no need not is correct. it's like saying, "you need not stress so much over this" or "i need not stress so much.." or "SHE need not stress so much"...
i forget what it's called but there is DEFINITELY a rule about this... you know how for the subjunctive it's "if i WERE... " well, in this case, the verb is always in that present third person tense. i don't remember what that is called though... | |

| Regarding the "someone need not..." question, I found something online that answers our question. It seems that there is a rule that in the third person singular, when need is followed by an infinitive without "to", "needs" becomes "need." For example- "He need not do it. vs He needs to not do it." How are we supposed to know that?? I got it wrong too  Conjugation of the verb "need" | |
