<p>‘Denied of’ in any context is very colloquial and informal. Plain ‘denied’ is grammatically incorrect. Regarding the question, we’re pretty sure it’s something to do with media, information, and the public being denied their rights to form an opinion (or something like that). Nonetheless, you can’t say ‘denied of her right’ either.</p>
<p>@i2400ezpz
You’ll probably have to give us more clues than that. It’s been over 24 hours.</p>
<p>About trouble ease question, I think put disappointing something like that…</p>
<p>@i2400ezpz
@bestsatever </p>
<p>The answer is something along the lines of ‘she was disturbed (could be anxious or dissapointed) that she could not remember her innocence leaving her, or such important aspects of her life.’ </p>
<p>Does anyone remember the word pair sentence completion that had "vivacious"and another word that starts with a “v”? Was that the answer?</p>
<p>It was something like someone can’t be like another person because the person is energetic/animated.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>what was the answer to the question about the girl on memorial parade passage where the thing fell from her pocket and she didnt even notice? I think i put down she didnt want to seem dissapointed? Does that sound right?? </p>
<p>And for what question was “slanted” the answer?</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>i think i put slanted for that one too — i think the question was about like am african american poverty magazine or something and the photographer only used celebratory photos in it i think </p>
<p>@thegrant is right, @gourmand </p>
<p>Also, the falling out of pocket is the same as my previous comment.</p>
<p>Thank you guys!</p>
<p>What about the one with vivacious as an answer choice?</p>
<p>it was like exuberant and something</p>
<p>idk if im talking about the right one tho</p>
<p>I believe it was exuberant – exhausted something like that because it said only to people who shared her energy were exuberant, and to others it made them exhausted</p>
<p>How do you guys think you did on your essay? Mine was trash I think. Took up both pages, but trash otherwise.</p>

Should be a 10 at least. I wished I had used a bit better vocab, since I did have some time in the end. 3 examples, filled both pages. </p>
<p>Alright guys, so there seems to be 3 big controversial questions so far.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Deprived/denied of: I don’t remember what I put so I won’t discuss this</p></li>
<li><p>Alice setting vs attitude: this one is very clearly setting. If you read the passage (which is online) it is completely obvious that the answer is setting. Adding that it was her birthday establishes the setting that the rest of the passage is based in. Also, note that the question does not just refer to the first paragraph, it asks about the entire passage.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Answer: setting</p>
<ol>
<li>650 vs 8whatever: I have no idea why this one is debated because it is not a difficult question at all. It says that X people were injected with A (not x people were only injected with a), y people were injected with B, and z people were injected with both. Since z is represented in both a and b, the number of people who only took either A or B was (x-z)+(y-z)= 650. Sorry but this question is not debatable. </li>
</ol>
<p>@lovearcanine from what I’ve read the only one we haven’t come to a consensus on is #2 attitude vs. setting…“denied of” is definitely the error for SURE. 650 is definitely the right answer yes. Another controversial one was the “in which” question.</p>
<p>@lovearcanine </p>
<p>Funny you should say that. Here’re my opinions:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Deprived/denied of. Rather obvious. If you had ‘deprived’ then ‘deprived of’ is right. If you had ‘denied’, ‘denied of’ is wrong.</p></li>
<li><p>Alice setting vs attitude. Not “obviously” setting. In fact, considering the fact that she was anticipating something (evidenced by the earlier question in the SAT, and the imagery in the first paragraph), the birthday does clarify her attitude. Whereas, the introduction does not raise any issue regarding setting, so there’s nothing to clarify.</p></li>
<li><p>Yeah, this isn’t debatable.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>@fireonice
‘In which’ isn’t really debatable either. That was more of a ‘did you/I remember the question correctly?’ sort of thing, just like the deprived/denied. </p>
<p>@Woandering I don’t really want to return to the topic again haha but the first paragraph was imagery of the day, so description of the day could = setting so 2nd paragraph first sentence could be clarifying it. Again, debatable.
For “in which” the debatable aspect is if there was an “in” at the end, just tough to remember…
And unless we got different tests, I’m 100% sure my test said “denied of” because I looked at that question for a long time.</p>
<p>@fireonice
Same here. But, if you don’t want other people saying things like “you’re obviously wrong, my answer is OBVIOUSLY right” then you’ve gotta compromise. What is definitely obvious is that if you did have ‘denied of,’ as you and I did, then that’s wrong.</p>
<p>Also, I’m pretty sure the question asked for how the birthday paragraph helped/clarified the introduction. Unless the introduction raised an issue about the setting, there’s nothing to help or clarify. </p>
