Having been originally scheduled for demolition, the old building was instead moved
it was no error wasnt it?
having been sounds awkward
the orginal had nothing wrong with it

Or maybe im not remembering correctly. I think the first part of the sentence is in present tense. Does that make a difference?

there was some other error, ymazing.

Wait...i think you're remembering the question wrong.

Does no one else think that the Louisiana question was "that of Louisiana?"

"The system of principles for the 48 states were influenced by English law, that of Louisiana was influenced by French law."

OR

"The system of principles for the 48 states were influenced by English law, whereas Louisiana's was influenced by French law."

Louisiana's WHAT?

thoughts?

No I was thinking about it some more Andrea. Both work; the reason is that the shorter answer is better.

There were so many other questions where two or three variations of a sentence work; the best answer (which is what the SAT is looking for) is almost always the most concise.

@mollified
i think it has nothing to do with present tense or past tense.
the only difference is one uses passive voice while the other doesnt.
so why we cant use the one with passive voice?

I think you're remembering the question weird, but the second construction is right, a1r

@ymazing
I chose e for the demolition problem. It sounded weird, but the 'having been scheduled for demolition...' is the only answer where the verb describes the subject in appropriate order.

@a1rplanes
'that of louisana' makes the sentence a fragment. and i don't think you remembered it correctly anyway.
you say its "The system of principles for the 48 states were influenced by English law" but it was more like "In the United States, the models of judicial systems of 49 states are influenced by English Law, _____ is influenced by Roman and something else systems.

So the subject in the blank should reference the 'models' of the judicial system of the states.

'that of louisiana' is usually correct, but what that sentence lacked was a conjunction after the comma (but, for, nor, yet, so). However could work ONLY if it was "however, [comma] Louisiana's"

so therefore i think "whereas Lousiana's" was the best.

Same answers for both.

For the first question, E was the only answer choice without a misplaced modifier, and it was in the correct tense.

which is aimed to is correct because the plan is not a person. a person can aim at something but the subject that "which" is refering to is a plan to reduce the greenhouse gases.

@gthopeful: i don't remember that question. it was probably experimental.
@Oscarlany: same thing

Alright now we're discussing the Chancellor Q.

I put 'no error.'

Also, @Oscarlany,
- 1 MC and a 10 Essay should be 790,
- 1 MC and an 11 or 12 is possibly an 800

I had an extra writing MC section. Which of the two was an experimental section? One section seemed easier than the other. I believe the second section had a question about zen rocks and waves or something.

ZMCIngus

The writing section that talke about the electoral and popular votes = experimental one. I asked my friend which writing section she had bc she only had one writing section and an extra math experimental.

What would -10 with a 10 essay be? I haven't read the threads yet, I've had a marching band competition all day after the SAT, so that's just a fearful guess, after glancing at a thread or two...
