<p>@rlaghdcks3, was it the one on the same passage where one of the answers had the word “comprehensive” in it? 
That’s all I remember, and I’d like to know the question and possible answer too :|</p>
<p>The main idea was that he was a businessman who was reluctant to disclose his wealth to anyone.</p>
<p>@1a1:</p>
<p>I think I put:</p>
<p>“Author’s name, an English writer, blahblahblah…”</p>
<p>correspondence with clients seem pretty direct to me?</p>
<p>ya…correspondence with clients is direct and it very well may have been the right answer. However, I think that the diaries answer may also be another possibility. Oh well, I guess we can just wait till December to find out.</p>
<p>I think the answer to the “additional paragraph” question is still debatable, between the “nature of challenges” answer and the “not only unique to the character” answer…</p>
<p>Going back to the evidence question…</p>
<p>I’m still standing by my idea that the question was not asking about his business affairs, but rather his personal life. That’s what the paragraph the question was using said, at least. So that’s why I chose the diary answer. If it didn’t quote a paragraph, and was asking about the entire passage, I think the answer would be the correspondence with clients choice…But it wasn’t asking about the whole passage…</p>
<p>Honestly, I’m surprised the PSAT has sparked so much debate. I don’t even think any recent SATs have so much discussion in one topic!</p>
<p>I’m hoping for a nice curve…</p>
<p>so can anyone explain why the answer is Having ascended the ridge for the writing?
i think it should be no error
the climbers ascending the ridge, they blah blah</p>
<p>@rlaghdcks3, I don’t remember the sentence fully but based on what you wrote, that would be incorrect. :P</p>
<p>I think the actual sentence was something similar though…I seem to recall a comma splice similar to the “they” after the word “ridge” in your sentence. I don’t really remember where the error was, but I think there was an error…</p>
<p>something about a comma splice. i guess CB is answering peoples complaints that standardized testing does nothing to show intelligence…by giving us these nuanced things that only someone who really understood the passage coudl answer, maybe. either way, its dumb. instead of demonstrating a subtle way of thinking, its just nitpicky and fussy</p>
<p>Why would it be the nature of the challenges? It doesn’t seem like it relates to the passage that well. The previous paragraph had already concluded the story.</p>
<p>so long since lost is no error
vice president one is no error
and ascending the ridge is error
dang…
i missed 3 so fat in writing then
would that be like low 700?</p>
<p>Hey, do any of you guys remember the problem about two spheres in a cylinder and finding the volume of the cylinder in terms of the radius of one of the sphere (r)?</p>
<p>It was 4 x pi x r^3.</p>
<p>Can anybody clarify their answer to my question?</p>
<p>because every other choice basically seemed ■■■■■■■■
it was almost like a DUH question</p>
<p>Why not the answer about “how challenges did not only apply to him”? I see how you might put the nature of his challenges, but previous paragraph concludes the story, sort of like “happily ever after”, and it would seem kind of weird to name the challenges when the paragraph was much more broad.</p>
<p>“so long since lost is no error”</p>
<p>acutally the CB could mark this wrong as a usage error… “long since lost” is always used prior to a subject. Not after.</p>
<p>ok then i have some hope</p>
<p>1a1
yeah but paragraph was not over
we are adding a sentence to the paragraph where the story is mentioned
so adding the specific challenges would help the passage</p>
<p>rlagh i thought the guy’s specific challenges was the obvious answer. that whole section was fairly easy.</p>
<p>i know
but 1a1 thinks it’s not the right answer</p>
<p>The specific challenges is right because I remember when I read the paragraph it ends with the guy saying like Resayya (or whatever the name was) had to face many different challenges throughout the story. And then the paragraph just ended. The specific challenges is definitely right. I think we are all looking into everything a bit too much.</p>
