<p>yeah I thought chromosome X was incorrect as stated, for the Chromosome is still named “X”?</p>

<p>petit, was it the one with 2 becauses?
Yeah i think i put no error</p>

<p>Guys, for those with WRITING or MATH experimental section, which passages did u guys have?</p>

<p>Im trying to figure out which section was CR experimental.</p>

<p>For WRITING experimental, I had a “correct the passage” thing about My Grandpa’s D-Day.</p>

<p>@awesomemath: yeah, there was two becauses… it went like this</p>

<p>Chromosome X was named that way because it did something, not because of its resemblence to the letter X. </p>

<p>I think it’s no error… so i’m glad that you got no error, too</p>

<p>I know I had writing experimental, but I seriously can’t remember anything about what the passage was…</p>

<p>but I don’t reeally remember anything about a grampa…</p>

<p>for q. 17
is the correct idiom composed of or composed from?</p>

what was the question about again?</p>

<p>for the windmill one… i think its B “Granted…” i was struggling between these two and i plugged them in the sentence. C sounds repetitive because it was something like: “some people think bla blah blah so people think…”</p>

<p>I have questions…I am trying to see if someone asked this already but it’s hard with so many posts lol</p>

<p>about the NY apple and orange question. I said that “sold in” was wrong because the rest of the sentence was in present tense, and I thought that part being in past tense was kinda weird, after a long time thinking =[
At first it seemed right, but don’t all verbs have to maintain the same tense?</p>

<p>also, the fence painting question, (I omitted this)
can someone explain why the answer is “were they to be painted”(something like this)?</p>

<p>It’s NOT GRANTED. I don’t understand WHY people think that sounds good, because it absolutely doesn’t. Granted means “Okay, I know that you and I know this, it’s GRANTED.”</p>

<p>“In addition” continues the list that the author was making about the bad things about windmills. So it’s C: “In addition”</p>

<p>@almafuerte:</p>

<p>The fence painting was “Were they to be painted” in the late afternoon, they would be dry in tomorrow night or something.</p>

<p>That goes with the construction “subjunctive clause, conditional clause.” Subjunctive relies on doubt, and conditional depends on the subjunctive to function.</p>

<p>Subjunctive is “were.” For instance, if I were a girl.
Conditional is “I would…” For instance, I would wear D-cup bras.</p>

<p>All together: “If I were a girl, I would wear D-cup bras.”</p>

<p>i agree with Kean about “in addition”</p>

<p>wow it seems so far that every question is debatable…no one really agrees on anything :(</p>

<p>Kean, what are your thoughts on the “provided resources to/for photography enthusiasts” question?</p>

<p>NO. Because it’s repetitive! In addition some people think… they… blah blah. It didn’t make sense. It’s GRANTED.</p>

<p>silverturtle, I need that whole sentence, but right now, I think I put No Error.</p>

<p>Riley
i’m pretty sure it’s “in addition”</p>

<p>Kean, what are your thoughts on the “provided resources to/for photography enthusiasts” question?</p>

<p>I put provided resources for was wrong…
sorry I don’t know how to quote other ppl’s messages</p>
