October 2010 Writing SAT thread

<p>@rzee28</p>

<p>the while still making a profit didn’t fit the structure as the previous two so it has to be something that would be parallel with the other two. I don’t remember the exact words/forms but i’m sure its while still making a profit</p>

<p>need the poorly question also!</p>

<p>what was the essay prompt?</p>

<p>@HBassi</p>

<p>mine was is it important to go outdoors and appreciate nature?</p>

<p>why are people posting with different essay’s?</p>

<p>East Coast and West Coast have separate essay prompts</p>

<p>Attempt at Consolidated List</p>

<p>Mammals-pretty sure there is an error, unsure which one was incorrect though.
so poor-poorly
vegetables- By comparison
Plus being-incorrect (one i am unsure about)
While still maintaining -(should be maintain)
Would of (Should be would have)
its (should be those) I believe talking about voices of women
among my friends and I -(among my friends and me)
emphasizing-(should be emphasis)
tornado-unsure
vegetables-(insert proponents)
confirmed-(should be to confirm)
kindergarten soul mates- (each instead of he)
professor-(issued)
frequency-(were reduced was error), should be was
astonishing-should be astonishingly
Role of actor-place considered his best role yet, at beginning
but also because (i am unsure, but i believe this is correct)</p>

<p>I got 1 NE. I didn’t remember which one it was though. I did not put NE for mammals.
Update this list, as you please.</p>

<p>@jolly, it didn’t. There was a different error.</p>

<p>"Attempt at Consolidated List</p>

<p>Mammals-definitely has an error, sorry guys. I hear it is “that”, but i forgot what i put."</p>

<p>Stopped reading there. Your list just lost its credibility. -.-</p>

<p>Wait a second…</p>

<p>Wait…</p>

<p>YES!!!</p>

<p>THANK YOU SO ***ING MUCH!!!</p>

<p>“among my friends and I -(among my friends and me)”</p>

<p>THAT WAS THE SECOND NE! YOU’RE WRONG! MOST OF US ARE RIGHT! YEY!</p>

<p>wth? wth??</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the people emphasizing sentence?</p>

<p>I changed it, I am becoming more skeptical about the mammal one. I don’t remember the full sentence verbatim, what was it?
^^Emphasizing should be emphasis</p>

<p>@Mike, I think among my friends and I was incorrect. The second NE should be the “the fact” sentence.</p>

<p>Can you remind me of “the fact” sentence?</p>

<p>among is preposition therefore me is the object of the preposition and must be me not I. This is the same for “between you and me.”</p>

<p>Attempt at Consolidated List V2</p>

<p>Mammals-Unsure, am told NE.
so poor-poorly
vegetables- By comparison
Plus being-incorrect (one i am unsure about)

but also because (i am unsure, but i believe this is correct)</p>

<p>i thought the mammal one should have been “the MOST dominant mammal” but im 99% sure that’s wrong</p>

<p>While still maintaining -(should be maintain)
its (should be those) I believe talking about voices of women
can i see the questions for those?</p>

<p>I apologize, I may have confused the exact verbs and nouns. I know the “those” has to do with women’s ______s (plural), but I think i was wrong about voices.</p>

<p>The while still maintaining may be “while still making” from the test. The sentence breaks parallel structure. it should be “and make” or something similar.</p>

<p>It goes in the same format (not sentence, i forgot) Cats work, eat, while still making rent. It should be Cats work, eat, and make rent.
^^this is not from the test, but is the same idea.</p>

<p>I remember it was
that (should be those) – the sentence was about lives of women</p>

<p>To the best of my memory, it went like:
The reason the mammal is the dominant species ___ is its ability to adjust its body temperature to practically any habitat.</p>
