Yeah, I chose 'A', but I thought about it for a while because I really wasn't sure.

@UChalpz1
You too? In the past two weeks, my predicted score has dropped about 300 points.

No way am I staying up until scores come out. I'm on the East Coast, but I'll probably go to sleep early and wake up early and do any homework/studying I didn't finish earlier until the scores come out. I'm pathetic.

@s13nior, that was basically my reasoning when I chose B on the test (though I think the choice was actually E). Let's hope we're right! I agree that that was the hardest writing question.

@s13nior and @StudiousMaximus , I'm pretty certain the answer was A. There is proper parallelism because the antecedent of "that" in the sentence is energy expended. Since expended is a modifier, then you can assume it's replaced by the word "that" as well.

Let's not spend the last 4 days arguing over this question which no one is 100% sure of.

^ I agree. I also chose A (It was D on the actual exam.) However, there's a fair chance I'm wrong, and at this point it's easier to just wait; this is one of those questions that we won't know for sure until the scores come out.

3 more days =)

Hey guys, for the folks who had the CR as a dummy section, which one do you think is the actual dummy? (First passage/ Second passage/ Last passage)

I think it's B. I don't think "of" is correct in A. Be sure to post the correct answer when you find out!

s13nior's analysis is correct.

You cannot say "the energy of traveling . . ." Just because you understand what the person is trying to say does not make it correct.

So, "B" is wordy (but grammatically correct) and "A" is incorrect. "B" wins.

For the reflection question... why is it (-1,3)? Shouldnt it be (1,-3)?
Starting is (3,1). Reflected over the y axis which is (-3,1). And then reflected over y=x. So then its (1,-3)

^ You mixed up the order. The point was reflected over y=x first.
