<p>SilverTurtle: I understand your argument now.
Your argument holds true, if “people” acts as a direct object. However, I’m not sure if that is true…we have to first delineate each part of speech…</p>
<p>provide resources for people to use</p>
<p>Since people is preceded by “for”, is “people” still a direct object??
…that’s the fundamental question…
I think “for people” is a prepositional phrase??? I’m not sure though…</p>
<p>@antonio- “i would still argue that hte original phrasing was more succinct and, for the most part, free of grammatical errors”</p>
<p>You would argue correctly; the original phrasing was more succinct and free of grammatical errors, however it contained an error of logic by suggesting pollution levels, rather than the agency, enforced state regulations.</p>
<p>@qwerty- “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>which question are you talking about?</p>
<p>“resources” is the direct object.</p>
<p>The one with Saturn wasn’t B? Hahaha, I probably just put it because I was overthinking.</p>
<p>Thought “agreed” couldn’t work because usually you see “agreed upon” (idiomatically), as in “Blah blah, generally agreed upon …theory”</p>
<p>Whether or not silverturtle is a “writing god”, the people who makes these tests aren’t the brightest people in the world. It’s possible that silverturtle is right but the ETS did not give it that much thought. I guess we’ll just have to see.</p>
<p>I’m sorry if you guys have posted this before… (I’m quickly scanning the threads.) What is the answer for “thus becoming” one??</p>
<p>If by answer you mean the choice that was grammatically incorrect then I think (hope) so.</p>
<p>I remember thinking that it was something like blah blah blah is so ______ thus becoming… it should be it’s so _____ THAT it is…</p>
<p>@Almafuerte - Yes! I’m glad to hear that I’m not the only one who chose “sold in” for NY oranges! I think we’re the minority.</p>
<p>Could someone please write the question for the photography question? I don’t remember it at all. Maybe it was on the experimental writing.</p>
<p>@ sakuraino: I don’t remember it at all either, and I’m positive I didn’t miss anything. Maybe it was really an experimental question…</p>
<p>How do these answers look for numbers 30-35?</p>
<ul>
<li><p>“Windmills have their roots deeply ingrained in history.”</p></li>
<li><p>“However, it is not without its harmful effects.”</p></li>
<li><p>give more examples of the benefits</p></li>
<li><p>“In addition…” This one may have talked about people not welcoming the windmills somewhere.</p></li>
<li><p>Insert before sentence (9)</p></li>
<li><p>Delete solar power sentence</p></li>
</ul>
<p>I’m sorry if this question has been asked already but HOW MANY NO ERRORS DID YOU HAVE??
I had 3:
<p>@ silverturtle: I agree with all of those. 
</p>
<p>See, you’re not going to get a 200-800 as your predicted score range… :P</p>
<p>Well, technically he is because whatever score he gets will lie in that range ^___^</p>
<p>haha, his score range would more realistically be like 750-800… :P</p>
<p>silverturtle, do you remember the confines of the first two questions you have up there? for the windmill ones</p>
<p>
I don’t remember it either, but it seems that a lot of people had that one so I don’t think it was on the experimental.</p>
<p>silverturtle, I think the photography one was experimental…</p>
<p>I SWEAR I put no error for that question, but when I went back and counted how many no errors I had, I had 3. </p>
<p>And I also agree with oranges, x chromosome, and saturn questions are all no errors…;</p>
<p>that means I either counted wrong or photography was experimental.</p>
<p>Chi, I had the same no errors. Three in total I believe. </p>
<p>Whoever had the experimental writing section (section 5 and 6), which one was the real one? I forgot which questions were in which…</p>
