<p>“…will result in your scores being cancelled.”
^ I was assuming the ellipsis included a subject that “will result,” so the rest was a separate clause… but I suppose that the verb phrase “will result in” must be followed by a nominal or object of the preposition thus making “being” a gerund in any case, so I concede haha.</p>
<p>btw, my English teacher recently told us that it is now considered proper or standard to always include an ‘s’ after a word with an apostrophe showing posession-- have you heard anything similar? I personally hate writing “___s’s”</p>
<p>darnit i missed the whales question. i knew swam didnt sound right! i used like 4 mins on that question and just put E. and then i probably mixed the next one about the camel. but those are the only 2 i missed, and unfortunately its not experimental bc i had 4 math sections</p>
<p>You can’t take off the object and use that as evidence: my point is that the verb’s transivity renders “for” wrong. All of the dictionary sources I’ve check thus far support this idea.</p>
<p>about the agency: as best I can remember the sentence; “The agency reported that by enforcing state regulations, pollution levels were reduced to acceptable levels.”</p>
<p>My reasoning was that “by enforcing state regulations” was a participial phrase and that as such it would more successfully describe the agency rather than pollution levels (somehow I can’t picture pollution levels enforcing state regulations). I believe I chose answer E, if that was the one that changed the sentence to “The agency reported that by enforcing state regulations, it had succeeded in reducing pollution to acceptable levels.”</p>
<p>The entries make clear that “provide for” is not the appropriate phrasal verb and is intransitive. The verb in question #21 is being used transitively and in a way semantically different from the meanings offered for “provide for” in any dictionary.</p>
<p>We must use the transitive verb form of “provide,” which has no intrinsic, phrasal preposition. We use “to” in order to link to the indirect objects, the photographers.</p>
<p>I don’t really feel like petitioning again, though. :(</p>
<p>^@antonio, funny you should use my name as an example; “charles’s”</p>
<p>I hate writing that second ‘s’… must it be pronounced as well if it is always required? Or if it is not required may it be excluded in pronunciation?</p>
<p>i put E at first but then went back to A cus i thought E was too verbose</p>
<p>is 790 in range for -2(or maybe still -1 :D) and 11 essay?</p>
<p>would you, silverturtle, consider an essay(not so neat) but with 3 examples (Gatsby, Lyndon B Johnson, financial market crash of 2007) as a 11? mechanics were fine and i threw in just a teeny amount of high profile words :D</p>
<p>would you consider Jay Gatsby as a victim of hte pressures of time?</p>
<p>I noticed several prepositional mistakes throughout the two big sections of writing that I took, but I took them one after another (tests 5 and 6… and writing is my least favorite section, yay!), and I honestly don’t remember whether the resources question was one of them. Like… basically everyone else, I feel like I’d probably be able to remember my answer if I were given the entire question.</p>
<p>As of right now, I kinda buy silverturtle’s argument, but I’m not sure if College Board was looking for something so nuanced with the question. It really would be great if someone could remember the entire question and post it on here, though.</p>
<p>Also, I agree with cjester and silverturtle about the agency question.</p>
