Official US November SAT Discussion II (Test with Negative Campaigns)

<p>was number 29 D?</p>

<p>I think it lacked a subject.</p>

<p>SheepGetKilled 29. was E, even though D lacked a subject, it was considered right because if there was a subject (it) then there HAS to be a comma before and (,and), if there is no comma after and, then the subject cant be repeated.</p>

<p>The question in writing about the apes drawing,
what was the answer to the question that was like
“how would you improve this sentence?”</p>

<p>it is was underlined in the sentence, and it had to do with the fact that the ape’s artwork could be described as real art.</p>

<p>Hey can we get a list of no errors for the writing section with apes (real one)</p>

<p>Pretty sure 29 had an error</p>

<p>My no errors were one on Jane Goodall, one on a lexicographer, and the penguin birds that can’t fly one. </p>

<p>So I had three total no errors. Agree or disagree?</p>

<p>Was “it” underlined, i put something about whethere artists appreciate as a real art is debatable or something like that</p>

<p>@bioduderay </p>

<p>pretty sure it was replace “it” with “apes can create.” It was like 32 (?) in the writing section on correcting paragraphs. Agree?</p>

<p>it was the pronoun for “ape art” so replacing it (pretty sure ambiguous) has to be something related to ape art</p>

<p>does anyone remember the answer to the number of years to get 600 deer problem? you were given a huge equation? does that ring a bell?</p>

<p>for penguins can’t fly one
isn’t the error the
idiomatic expression with evolve [in] absence of predators</p>

<p>600 deer: 15</p>

<p>@smooch</p>

<p>thought about that for a second during the test, but pretty sure it works.</p>

<p>[Use</a> evolve in a sentence | evolve sentence examples](<a href=“http://sentence.yourdictionary.com/evolve]Use”>Examples of "Evolve" in a Sentence | YourDictionary.com)… has an example with evolve in… or what do you think it should be instead</p>

<p>i think the evolve in … is from “in tandem” not “evolve in”</p>

<p>evolve in “the” or evolve from is what i decided after choosing it was wrong</p>

<p>I thought the penguin error was in “are” or “is”, wasn’t the sentence is past tense (i.e. it said believed…)</p>

<p>“are” is definitely fine because if it were “were”, it would mean it is no longer believed today. “Are” means it is still believed today, which is true. </p>

<p>@smooch, read this wiki link on flightless birds… I feel they took the question from here. Exactly same as on the test. [Flightless</a> bird - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flightless_bird]Flightless”>Flightless bird - Wikipedia) </p>

<p>just search for “evolve” in the article</p>

<p>also, pretty sure it was “evolved in the absence of predators…” I was debating whether “in” should be “from,” but left it as “in the” and marked no error (almost sure that is correct)</p>

<p>Once again, can we consolidate list of no errors on spotting the error</p>

<p>I believe it was on penguins (flightless birds), Jane Goodall, and a famous lexicographer</p>

<p>that most flightless birds evolved [in the absence of] predators </p>

<p>the correct idiom is in THE absence of
i thought it was lacking something… it was lacking the article
evolve is isolated from the expression next to it</p>

<p>on another note:
jane goodall and lexicographer i got no error for
as well as no error for the painting “and so gave”</p>

<p>edit: no the question was 100% evolve in absence of</p>

<p>i got three no errors: number 29, another one in the 20’s (around the top of the second column on the second page of the sentence ID, and second column of the first page)</p>

<p>then yes, dchenfire, you are right it was no error!!!</p>

<p>Also for the apes questions at the end of WR section, i disagree with your answer that “nevertheless” should be in the beginning of the sentence. According to previous BB tests, nevertheless is only used when comparing something. Does anyone else agree it should be started with “afterall”</p>

<p>yeah, it also wasn’t evolved either
it was evolve in absence of predators
so verb tense could’ve been the problem too</p>

<p>I’m wondering about the “no errors” too - I think I put that for the Jane Goodall one (…striking similarities between chimpanzees and humans…), the penguins that evolved in the absence of predators, and the one about the fellow who had been compiling word lists since the age of whatever and had published his lexicon on whatever date… What did you guys put?</p>
