<p>Indeed is used to reaffirm facts, but the author of the paragraph introduces new information (the percentage), so I’m not too convinced Indeed would be a better choice than “By Comparison”.</p>
<p>Indeed, i m pretty sure.</p>
<p>What do u say for the mammal one? still diff opinions?</p>
<p>Indeed vs. By Comparison
Too close to call if you ask me. I’m with everyone else that said it could’ve been either in this situation. It really just depended on the person’s logic at the moment when he/she encountered the question. In retrospect, there’s no way that anyone could’ve weighed the pros/cons of each choice adequately before selecting an answer. There was bound to be some bias, where the test taker saw an answer seemed “more” correct at the time and tried to find instances in which to other answer wouldn’t work.</p>
<p>
…The author is affirming the fact that organic foods are more expensive than non-organic foods by giving a statistic.</p>
<p>Well besides the mammal question and the indeed/by comparison question, we can all agree that it was pretty easy right? So it will probably be a harsher curve.</p>
<p>But the statement about conventional food was only secondary compared to organic food. I’m pretty sure conventional food was mentioned as a subordinate clause, with organic food in the main clause. Therefore the point of the sentence was about organic foods, making indeed as a choice that would support the previous sentences.</p>
<p>it was on the easier side but i wouldn’t call it ridiculously easy</p>
<p>We can continue to pull out grammar rules and denotations/connotations that support both sides for a long time. It really won’t solve anything.</p>
<p>It was all pretty easy and forgettable. I remember going over my answers in both sections and going “Hmm… confident of this one… this is definitely correct… this one is true…”</p>
<p>Yeah, I’d agree that on the whole this passage was on the easy side.</p>
<p>Too bad we can’t come to a consensus about the mammals question and the comparison/indeed question. </p>
<p>Looks like we’ll have to wait until the 28th to find out for sure</p>
<p>I don’t remember what I put for the mammals q haha. And I’m 95% sure the answer is indeed. Hopefully average curve.</p>
<p>Wait…is the mammals question unanswered? What was the rationale for not picking NE?</p>
<p>There is none.</p>
<p>I was actually hoping the writing experimental was real, because I used my experience to answer that last error ID question right. I’m sure 90% would have put NE.</p>
<p>^^ Mammals question - …the reason is its ability…, should be the reason is because it has the ability or the reason is because of its ability…</p>
<p>Is it agreed that there is another NE other than the mammals one? I had 2 NEs in that section.</p>
<p>Reason is because is definitely wrong. I would bet my life on this.</p>

<p>If you don’t trust this source, just google “the reason is because” and click on any link and I am almost 100% it would tell you reason is because is wrong.</p>
<p>The whole idea behind the mammal question was not to use the word “because” or “why” since those words are redundant with the word “reason”. I don’t know if SAT strictly requires “reason… THAT” I think it still makes sense to say “reason…IS”.</p>
<p>Again…
reason is because is wrong. (so repetitive)</p>
<p>and what was the other NE besides mammals?</p>
<p>I remember the two NEs were on pages back to back to each other. One of them was in the last few, and one of them was in the page before that. Which one was the mammals one? I can probably remember the other one if you can remember which page the mammals one was on.</p>
<p>i got 1 no error… bt im not sure which one it is</p>
<p>sooo</p>
<p>you know how the spot the error is on the left page, right page, back of right page</p>
<p>was the mammal one on the left column of the right page or right columnn of the right page? :D</p>
<p>thanks</p>
