<p>It said many ‘innocuous bacteria’, didn’t it? I’m pretty sure.</p>
<p>kid is right. The subject, city, was qualified by the word ‘ancient’. It’s now present-day, not ancient.</p>
<p>yeah, but i thought it included many</p>
<p>so ‘many innocuous bacteria’</p>
<p>can you count bacteria??? I was so confused about that one…</p>
<p>yeah i had initially put that has the answer since you cant count bacteria, so it should have been “much bacteria”. However, i ended up putting E, which i think is the right answer. This is why I think the SAT is really stupid in some aspects. In some cases, you can count bacteria, while other times it is not possible.</p>
<p>ughhhhhhhhh</p>
<p>yeah…</p>
<p>I agree with that. </p>
<p>Persistent use of antibacterial soaps both kills many innocuous bacteria and encourages even more resistant strains.</p>
<p>“even more resistant” strains compared to “many innocuous bacteria” : i.e. using soap kills a lot of bacteria, but the amount of killed bacteria is offset by the even larger amount (even more) of bacteria that becomes resistant.</p>
<p>does anyone know the answer to the identifying sentence errors about “some guy arrived 10 minutes late for his job interview because of traffic”</p>
<p>ya the answer was “had ran”, it’s supposed to be “had run”.</p>
<p>OH YEAH… i think i circled “for” but that was pretty much a guess</p>
<p>ugh i hate the bacteria question</p>
<p>SHOOT i was going to put run but i wasn’t sure… UGHHHHHHHHH</p>
<p>i thought ran could work because you can say
“he had killed…” which is past tense
…but maybe that’s just really stupid logic so i don’t know</p>
<p>UGH i better have gotten a 12 on the essay because the mc SCREWED ME OVER</p>
<p>Can someone please detail the Algebra teachers one? Please?</p>
<p>was the ALSO SYNDICATION one put before secntence 8 or 10</p>
<p>should have been put right before the last paragraph started. i don’t remember what sentence that was (probably 10)</p>
<p>the first part of the grammar section was easy.
obstinacy/determination is right</p>
<p>finding errors:
E - teachers
E- bacteria
I put that the spider one wasn’t parallel, since the comparative structure of but indicated a need for parallelism…but it said …of the spider’s making but webs made by female spiders. </p>
<p>verge of disappearing for the avante-garde one
had run </p>
<p>For the paragraph section, what did you put for the correction with the salary and college students question? I said to merge them together with a semi-colon </p>
<p>And also, for the sydication question about placing it into the paragrpah, did you say that it should start the paragraph or it should be the 2nd sentence of the paragaph (sorry, don’t remember the exact line numbers). </p>
<p>Also, what did you put for the one in section 10 about reading literature blah blah blah but it also sparks an interest in them to study </p>
<p>and also the one about the large fish and small fish and how the large has a higher level of mercury?? </p>
<p>I thought I got one A --;;</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>YEa, that was a perplexing question. What was the answer??</p>
<p>for the correction with the salary and college students question:
I put choice (C) I think, I don’t remember the exact details but it was something like taking out “…” and adding “…” with a COMMA at the end</p>
<p>The syndication question should start the 3rd paragraph.</p>
<p>For the section 10 reading literature, I said reading literature blah blah blah<br>
“,AND it also sparks an interest in them to study”</p>
<p>I said the large fish compared to the small fish (or something like that) have a higher level of mercury (or something like that)
Basically it was the choice where they mention the large fish, then the small fish, then talk about the mercury level. I don’t remember the words that connected those three.</p>
<p>Anybody agree/disagree?</p>
<p>i thoguht the syndication should come AFTER the sentence that had syndication in it already</p>
<p>because it was like</p>
<p>“syndication ALSO blah blah blah”</p>
<p>ya the sentence with syndication was in paragraph 2. I’m saying it should be the start of paragraph 3, so after the part where it already talks about syndication</p>

<p>"
“even more resistant” strains compared to “many innocuous bacteria” : i.e. using soap kills a lot of bacteria, but the amount of killed bacteria is offset by the even larger amount (even more) of bacteria that becomes resistant.
"</p>
<p>exactly!</p>
<p>also, the very last error id one was totally no error. you guys are saying something about the to ____ (cant remember the verbs) and ___ing verbs having to be parallel. wrong! Entertain this sentence:</p>
<p>I was going to wash the dishes, thus accomplishing the task my mother gave me.</p>
<p>^uh no. </p>
<p>it had to be “to (verb)”</p>
<p>the example you gave is not the same as the one on the test.</p>
