<p>Around a 65.</p>

<p>I think the “pizza, salad, cake” problem is solved like [url=<a href=“http://ameri-cantraders.com/psc.jpg]this[/url”>http://ameri-cantraders.com/psc.jpg]this[/url</a>].</p>

<p>Or, simply find the lowest common multiple of 3, 6, and 8 (24), and determine the pizzas, salads, and cakes needed for 24 people. For 24 people, one would need 8 pizzas, 4 salads, and 3 cakes, contributing to a n value of 15. Then, plug in n = 15 into the answer choices and see which choice yields 24 as a result. Only (A) works.</p>

<p>is there anyone who can prove why the “manuscript…had begun” question right or wrong?</p>

<p>i’m thinking that the verbs “was” and “had begun” have to be parallel b/c the predicate structure around “and” has to be alike.</p>

<p>^ I put that one as no error. But my friend said she put it as wrong because it should be “have had begun”. :frowning: ahhhhhh.</p>

<p>I put that one down as no error as well. The sentence demonstrates a correct use of the past perfect tense. The action of disintegrating started in the past, before the manuscript was discovered, so it should be correct.</p>

<p>so how do u know if the manuscript disentigrated in the past?</p>

<p>“have had begun”
tell your friend to look up perfect tense verbs</p>

<p>Didn’t it say “when the archaeologist found it?” Began might work too -_-" ahh I’m confused.</p>

<p>yeah, i thought it should be “began” b/c that woudl be in parallel to “was” so i had “had begun” as my error. man, i cant find anything that talks about this rule. if anyone does, it would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>what did you guys put for the napoleon one?</p>

<p>I don’t think clandestine and the choice with cosmopolitan were correct answers. But I could be wrong, lol</p>

<p>For the question about selling cards… how many cards did people buy the most? The $2 ones or the $5? The wording confused me…</p>

<p>They bought the 2 dollar ones the most. Two times as many $2 as $3, and two times as many $3 as $5. The money earned was $57, and it wanted to know how many $3 cards were sold. I’m pretty sure the answer was 6.</p>

<p>what do you think my score on the math section will be with one grid-in omit, assuming all my other answers are right?</p>

<p>77 or 76 most likely, =)</p>

<p>Guys, was there any way that “Burden” might not have meant the mathematical equation one? I think I put like “Inventing new numbers out of limited symbols” or something. >.< I was looking at ur posts and most of u seem to have put “Burden” as the mathematical equation one. </p>

<p>This is really stressing me out. =[</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure it would be the mathematical equation one, as the “burden” related to the “attention and memory of the reader”. When the reader reads IV, he or she must remember that IV is 5-1=4</p>

<p>So was the burden when the reader has to “recall a simple mathematical operation” right?</p>

<p>Yeah, that’s what I put.</p>
