<p>I still don’t see how “and so gave” can possibly be correct. First of all, I do not believe “and so” is grammatically correct in this context; it isn’t a replacement for therefore or thus or which.</p>
<p>“and so gave” may sound awkward to our ears, but is actually not grammatically awkward. “And so” indicates a sequence of events. Event x → and so → event y. This is the structure of this sentence. I strongly believe that 29 was “no error”. @dchenfire, I thought we’d gone over this before…</p>
<p>@ameyazing I do not think are correct for the following reason: the phrase “and so” is only grammatically correct if it links two independent clauses. In this case, it links an independent to a dependent. For “and so” to be correct, it would have to be “, and so the people were given” rather than “and so gave the people”.</p>
<p>Okay, about the I/II/III question:</p>
<p>Let’s say a = 2. By the given, b = 3. This cannot be changed.
Now let’s say that b = 6. From some claims I’ve heard, some people think that a = 2 could be possible in this case. However, this is FALSE. As soon as a = 2, then b must = 3. However, this is voided by your previous statement, which declared that b = 6. Thus, you are voiding the given, and a cannot = 2.</p>
<p>@strom23: Didn’t the sentence say, “and so gave the critics a better picture…”? Wouldn’t that make the qualification you’re talking about?</p>
<p>For writing, on the sentence fixing portion ( the first part of the section) did you guys get two A’s (no error)?</p>
<p>@ameyazing That is what it said, I believe. However, the phrase “and so gave the critics a better picture” is not an independent clause.</p>
<p>oh another note, did you guys all choose fanaticism
also, if I were to get 3 CR wrong, 3 math (1 grid in) and 1 W with an 11 essay, would i still have a chance of getting 2300 or higher?</p>
<p>Can anyone confirm that “and so gave the critics a better picture” is exactly how the sentence ends? It sounds familiar, but I can’t confirm for sure. In other words, are there any words after “picture?” If not, there is an error because yes, and so must combine two independent clauses.</p>
<p>@dchen I’m pretty sure it ended “and so gave the critics a better picture of her…”, but it was definitely not an independent clause regardless of the last few words.</p>
<p>for the question about why was positive italicized was the answer something like:</p>
<p>“to indicate that the person didn’t think positive was really an appropriate word”</p>
<p>@strom are you sure about linking independent clauses only? Because that would make me very happy, since I only marked “and so gave” because of awkwardness. I’m not that great at grammar rules, but I usually have good instinct. Can you link me to something that gives proof of this? Thanks!</p>
<p>Hi guyz which examples did you choose to write on the essay ??</p>
<p>So what is the general consensus on the visionary question?</p>
<p>@dchen: [Coordinating</a> Conjunctions](<a href=“http://www.englishclub.com/grammar/conjunctions-coordinating.htm]Coordinating”>http://www.englishclub.com/grammar/conjunctions-coordinating.htm). Because the first part was an independent clause, the second must be an independent clause as well.</p>
<p>tenis, you’re looking at a 770-790 CR (more likely 770), 720 Math, and 800 Writing. Assuming you got a 10 on your essay (more likely than 11), you would have a 790 Writing. In other words, it would be really close.</p>
<p>If I got 0-1 Writing, 6-10 CR, and 0-1 math with an essay of around 8-10, what score would that net me? My goal is 2350+, and I’m not sure if I should keep this (b/c I may not do better), or cancel it (colleges that don’t do Score Choice)</p>
<p>It’s not possible to get a 2350 solely because of the reading.</p>
<p>so, is consensus 3 no errors with 29 as an error?</p>
<p>@Classic Yeah I know, I’m just trying to decide whether to keep this or not.</p>
