for the paragraphs about air conditioning, did you pick "delete this sentence from the passage"?

Guys why the hell is there a writing thread? That is the most useless section. We need math and CR way more.

Can someone help me i need to know which section was the experimental

Ok so i had 2 wr sections back to back but i dont remember which one was air conditioning and which one was sputnik. If anyone else had the same thing as i did can you PLEASE tell me if the first of the two was experimental or the 2nd. If it the first is not experimental then i have to cancel my scores so i would appreciate if somebody could help me!

@airparth sputnik was experimental because I didn't have that passage. And everyone had the A/C section

@airparth there's different versions of the test with different orders. All I know is that the sputnik section was experimental but I as far as the order of your test goes I have no idea

Just to be clear: "when" was the correct answer for the plastic bags question.

It was not until 1982 when I got a car.

It was not until 1982 *that* I got a car.

The first construction is a fragment. When I read it, I'm still left wanting a "that" (like, "It was not until 1982, when I got my car, that I graduated from high school.).

Also, evidence is singular, so the verb should have been singular.
