January 2013 SAT I CR (Japanese Rice, and others)

<p>what other no errors were there besifes the guy employijg techniques</p>

<p>A number is plural.</p>

<p>@koolkatkoolkat were was the answer, that(…)+was.</p>

<p>[Is</a> “Number” Singular or Plural?](<a href=“http://www.dailywritingtips.com/is-number-singular-or-plural/]Is”>Is "Number" Singular or Plural? - DAILY WRITING TIPS)</p>

<p>i forget how exactly “number” was used but this is just for reference</p>

<p>Can anyone talk more about the CR part? I think the Seahorse one was hard…</p>

<p>thankskool its definitely were sine a number of universes is plural</p>

<p>what did everyone get for the last question of section 10? I picked E which had “…; although one might assume” but I wasn’t sure if it should be “…,not, as one might assume”. I picked “although” because it seemed closer to the meaning of the original which was “but one might assume”</p>

<p>i said not as one might assume which was b i think</p>

<p>So “exist” was correct since it was “a number of.”
And “were” was the wrong part?</p>

<p>“That there exist an infinite number of stars were developed …” exist and were are underlined.</p>

<p>Yea the answer was B</p>

<p>np. does anyone know what the passage having to do with the “spirit of the decade”?</p>

<p>that(…) itself is singular.</p>

<p>I said “not, as one might assume” because it sounded correct if you took out all the “as one might assume” crap. It’s awkward but I thought it was the best choice.</p>

<p>the train question on math…is it 5x4x3x2x1 or 5x5?</p>

<p>E might be wrong. Since although is a conj, but there is a ; before. I picked the one that doesn’t have the ;, but has “but …” OMG. I really don’t know how I did for the test</p>

<p>The train question is 5!
because you can choose from 5 children to put in the first car.
After that, there’s four left so you have four choices for the second car, three for the third car, etc.
So 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1.</p>

<p>@dkimmy it should be 120, which is 5<em>4</em>3<em>2</em>1</p>

<p>The question about the universes should be “was” since the first part was just functioning as the noun clause and would be singular</p>

<p>Yep in the universe question, were was wrong.</p>
