<p>the length to which he would go to obtain it.
OR
the painting itself</p>
<p>i second guhraycee’s request. what was the answer to the cellhphone question</p>
<p>I feel like a bit of a newbie for asking this, but does the CB have a precedent of responding to queries about SAT questions that are emailed to them? I mean, have any of you emailed in past and been given some sort of actual human response?
I’m very curious reg. the Bartholemew question- I marked no error because I didn’t know how one would “obtain” an interest, since in this case due to the preposition used it’s very obviously a desire/interest, and one can not obtain a desire, it just is outside the function of the verb, in my view.</p>
<p>barthelemow q was definitely the it</p>
<p>i made sure on that question, since the “it” was too vague, it didnt give a lucid answer to whether it referred to the painting or whatever the object is.</p>
<p>the bee one, i wasnt sure. i thought it might be C, but I think i got that one wrong</p>
<p>and also (reading back now)</p>
<p>it definitely was “it”</p>
<p>even though IRJunkie’s statement seems logical, if you read the sentence again, you’ll realize that the previous part before it reaches “it” can be referred to two factors :</p>
<ol>
<li>the painting, which is suppose to refer to</li>
<li>what Mr. Barthlahglas;ghahg could obtain/ the feeling of satisfaction</li>
</ol>
<p>i guaranteeingly knew that one was the answer “it”, since it was wayyyy too vague. I literally will support my answer 100%. I considered the factor of No Error, since everything else seemed good, until i saw it, and checked a lot.</p>
<p>wait jsungoh why does 99 percent of people say no error, even like ppl in my skool</p>
<p>unless collegeboard made it a really really hard idiomatic eror or meant to be e</p>
<p>im so confused what they will do with this problem, it could affect a score by 20-30 pts</p>
<p>I also think the answer is “it” because it’s an ambiguous pronoun.</p>
<p>And, most of the people I know chose “it.”</p>
<p>what was the answer to the cellphone question? “By just” “just by” or “just”?</p>
<p>I’d be surprised if the College Board considered there to be an error considering the relatively close proximity of “painting” to “it.”</p>
<p>“just turning off your cell phone can reduce blah blah blah”</p>
<p>wow i put “by just”</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, I’m sure Mr. Bartholomew went to great lengths to obtain his interest.</p>
<p>“I’m sure Mr. Bartholomew went to great lengths to obtain his interest.”</p>
<p>That’s illogical.</p>
<p>hey can anybody tell me the entire question/answer for the greek/roman literature one (i kind of forgot about this one)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>My argument implied by the sentence or the sentence itself?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Whatever had “many of which”</p>
<p>“My argument implied by the sentence or the sentence itself?”</p>
<p>I was joking. :)</p>
<p>kobe</p>
<p>because whenever a question has an it (ive studied those practice collegeboard stuff etc)</p>
<p>and if it involves the subject and an idea or process, then “it” was considered vague/ the answer</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Just checking</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>People have a tendency to see a pronoun and automatically think it’s ambiguous. I’ve seen plenty of CB sentences with pronouns that were No Error.</p>
<p>how the hell is there discussion over this??? take out the unnecessary clauses and you have:</p>
<p>although he was really interested in the painting, i never thought he would go to such lengths to obtain it.</p>
<p>IT? WHATS IT? THE CHOCOLATE BAR? THE BUNNY? lol. its the painting. no error</p>
<p>^ With that said, jamesford, have you ever seen a question that requires one to rely on semantics in determining the correctness of a pronoun’s use? I’m not being rhetorical; if you can find one, go ahead and post it.</p>
