<p>Please Help with Consolidating Answers</p>

<p>Please post any additional Writing questions for which you remember the answers here: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/854387-consolidated-answers-january-2010-sat.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/854387-consolidated-answers-january-2010-sat.html&lt;/a&gt;. Make sure to avoid posting experimental questions.</p>

<p>Silver, I don’t remember the photography question. It seems that people are saying it was a NE, but I only had three no errors (Saturn, NY apples, x chromosomes). What’d you put for the more clean question?</p>

<p>Can you offer anything else to jog my memory about it?</p>

<p>wasn’t it wrong because it was supposed to be more cleanly?</p>

<p>Or I’m thinking about something else.</p>

<p>The question was something like new technology produces (a noun that I forgot) which burns more clean than (another noun I forgot).</p>

<p>And I was going back and force b/w selecting the second noun (because it should have been than did) and the more clean part (b/c adverb). I selected the more clean.</p>

<p>Silverturtle et. al. I’ve looked at the thread “consolidated…”. how can you do this? Did you write down your answers while taking the test? many looked so familiar but i really can’t recall any questions/answers in their exact format. i wish i could join the discussion. even more, i wish i knew what i got RIGHT NOW!</p>

<p>i’m pretty sure if it was an adverb error i put “more clean” as the error</p>

<p>about saturn’s rings…</p>

<p>does anyone rmember if it said “composes of” or “were composed of”?</p>

<p>No we don’t write down our answers. Usually each of us remembers a few different ones or maybe the same ones, but usually details from other people jog our memories and help us remember what we put.</p>

<p>Unless some of you really write them down, because I don’t.</p>

<p>I remember now. “more clean” was definitely wrong. Are we sure that this was not experimental? If so, I’ll add it to the consolidated list.</p>

<p>100% sure it’s not experimental.</p>

<p>hey</p>

<p>about saturn’s rings…</p>

<p>does anyone rmember if it said “composes of” or “were composed of”?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>There’s a consolidated list on both the Math and Reading sections which I made from 40+ pages of discussion. Silver just put them on a single thread.</p>

<p>I definitely remember it was “were composed of”–I double checked because we Koreans (in Korea anyway) are inculcated about “comprises” “be composed of” and all that **** and was forced to look at it again. I think the Saturn ring, New York oranges, and X chromosomes were indeed No Error.</p>

<p>And hey, “their voice” in that noisy kids question is wrong, right? was kinda confused about that one…
hoping for a 800.</p>

<p>o good so there where three NE’s in a row: X chromosome, saturn, and NY apples.</p>

<p>allegedprincess i think that was no error. shouldn’t it be “their voices”?</p>

<p>They were not in a row, but they were each 1 question apart</p>

<p>It should have been “their voices”</p>

<p>ummm i don’t really remember noisy kids, did you have an experimental section?</p>

<p>oh nvm i remember now it was their voices</p>

<p>“allegedprincess i think that was no error. shouldn’t it be “their voices”?”</p>

<p>I thought it said “their voice” in the sentence, so it was an error?</p>
