<p>i see the argument for capacity, but doesnt the word “gift” imply suitable?</p>
<p>gift = ability = capacity</p>
<p>Where in the Zora article are you guys looking at? I’m reading pages 17-18 and I can’t find “Gift” or “friend” anywhere.</p>
<p>@ddd2012, I thought it was suitable too :p</p>
<p>gift of friendship =/= ability for friendship</p>
<p>just read the article uhh just search between 16-20, its there somewhere… Read on, and you will see that she wasn’t a perfect friend, eliminating suitabiltiy.</p>
<p>sour, page 18 near the bottom. the sat took out the middle section of page 18. also, what was your CR score last time?</p>
<p>can anyone else confirm that the penguins sentenced had “in absence of” underlined? The wikipedia article for flightless birds cites that sentence almost word for word and has “in THE absence of”</p>
<p>i remember the wording was “in the absence of” and “evolved in” was underlined</p>
<p>@happylemon, It was “in absense of”? I thought the question underlined “in the absense of”</p>
<p>it would be a trivial error w/o an article, and i thot there was one.</p>
<p>@ tenisgirl</p>
<p>Then what was your error for the penguin question?</p>
<p>i said there was an error @happylemon</p>
<p>but i know i got it wrong</p>
<p>@sour and @happy, wat you guys put for 29? I believe that is a much more disputable question. Did you mark 'and so gave" as an error, or put no error?</p>
<p>@dchenfire, I marked “and so gave” as the error, but I now I wish i picked no error. I feel like it’s one of those questions that make you want to choose the seemingly obvious, awkwardly phrased option, but knowing that it’s number 29 … I think it was a trick question.</p>
<p>i dont think writing q’s get progressively harder, only for math.</p>
<p>also awkwardly phrased is almost always an error, its kind of like trust your gut. usually awkward phrasing = grammar error</p>
<p>I think 29 should be “giving” or “thus giving” rather than “and so gave”, so I marked ‘and so gave’ as error.</p>
<p>guys, just because 29. “and so gave” is awkward doesn’t mean if its wrong. On sentence ID’s, the rules “shorter is better” or “awkwardness” does not apply. If it was on sentence revision then yes, “giving” or “thus giving” are improvements to “and so gave”. There is nothing wrong with the sentence and so its no error.</p>
<p>Also, another reason why “and so gave” is not an error because the question focused on comparison question. Mostly, comparison questions come at the end, and because the comparison in this sentence was right, there was no error.</p>
<p>Just my two cents.</p>
<p>is this similar to the problem you guys are talking about? It was from a 2009 PSAT…</p>
<p>"If x = 4, then y > 3.</p>
<p>If the statement above is true, which of the following statements must also be true?</p>
<p>A. If x > 3, then y = 4.
B. If x ≠ 4, then y ≠ 3.
C. If y > 3, then x = 4.
D. If y < 3, then x ≠ 4.
E. If y < 3, then x = 4."</p>
<p>Option A doesn’t necessarily have to be true, and neither do C, E, and B. Given the information, when y is smaller than 3, x simply cannot be 4, so choice (D) is correct. At x = 4, the y-values can start from 3.0000001 and go up, but they all MUST be greater than 3. Now when they’re SMALLER than 3, their x-value CANNOT be 4, because otherwise that would mean they would HAVE to be greater than 3.</p>
<p>…hope that made sense…</p>
