101

<p>silverturtle, the resources for photography is not experimental, and I think the answer was no error…</p>

102

<p>

</p>

<p>Here’s my reasoning for its being incorrect:</p>

<p>One says, “Provided resources for them to use” or “Provided resources to them.” I think “for” requires a clause.</p>

103

<p>Anyone care to consolidate the answers</p>

104

<p>violin, you mean you had 3 no errors? or you didn’t have to fix 3 thing for the paragraph itself.</p>

105

<p>i know it has been asked but what is the final verdict on the agency question, the last of section 14. A or E</p>

106

<p>What was the Greek statue thing? I narrowed it to plain/ornate and austere/unadorned</p>

107

<p>I meant 3 for no errors.</p>

108

<p>I was asking how many improving sentences questions did you not change? Not identify sentence error questions</p>

109

<p>i think austere/unadorned, ornate is the opposite</p>

110

<p>What question is that?</p>

<p>Wasn’t that agency…, it …?</p>

111

<p>I put A for the Agency question. Can’t justify my answer though.</p>

112

<p>What was the answer to Agency one was it the one that had “it”</p>

<p>what about the interview one?</p>

113

<p>we established that the interview one was the one with “during the interview” coming before the sentence…</p>

<p>as for the agency one, it’s still either A or E.</p>

114

<p>I put the “it” one as my answer-- but now that I think about it the meaning WAS changed by that option (that said, I’m still not sure the “it” one was wrong).</p>

<p>Any ideas on what a 10 essay and -2 would be? This writing was hard!</p>

115

<p>I do not remember the agency question. Does anyone remembers fragments of it?</p>

116

<p>

</p>

<p>Probably around 760-770.</p>

117

<p>^ The agency stated through strict adherence to government restrictions, pollution was reduced to a normal level</p>

<p>Something around that</p>

118

<p>silverturtle, it was the last question of the entire SAT exam…</p>

<p>something like,</p>

<p>The agency reported, in their annual report that, the industrial pollution was successfully reduced to acceptable levels</p>

<p>or</p>

<p>The agency reported, in their annual report that, they have succeeded in reducing the pollution to acceptable levels…</p>

<p>something like that</p>

119

<p>silverturtle, you’re smarter than collegeboard is so although you’re right, nobody elses mind can spot errors that small. hence psat question</p>

120

<p>Oh, I remember it now; I put (E).</p>
