<p>ok nevermind people, I got an answer from another thread :)</p>

42

<p>SimplySweet: Could you by any chance post where you found the four questions with no error (or just copy and paste here?). Thanks.</p>

43

<p>I remember the 4 NE ones specifically: </p>

<p>-The one about the composer Bach (can’t remember exactly how it was worded)
-“That the park comprised more than 200 trails came as a surprise…” (I got this one wrong.)
-“The migration of several thousand birds to… intrigued scientists, who sought an explanation of the phenomenon.”
-“…unseasonably warm”</p>

44

<p>Awesome. Thanks fledgling.</p>

45

<p>So…is the “That the park comprised more than 200 trails came as a surprise” writing question NE?</p>

<p>How about the building at the center of Washington?</p>

46

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes, it had no error.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>The error was “suggested to build.”</p>

47

<p>How many no errors were there in total? I just received my scores today via email from my counselor (232). I don’t even know my breakdown, and can’t obtain my score report until January.</p>

48

<p>When l’enfant suggested TO BUILD…he also offered TO DESIGN…</p>

<p>why is it to build…? (can’t be suggested building can it?)</p>

49

<p>can’t be suggested building can it?) </p>

<p>It can and it is. But your suggestion ^ completely supports the the parallelism idea. I mean “suggested building…” is not really grammar. Its principle is similar to that of an idiom: it just is what it is, period.</p>

50

<p>Yes, “suggested to build” is unidiomatic. Parallelism yields to idioms. See [verbs</a> followed by gerunds and infinitives](<a href=“http://www.iei.uiuc.edu/structure/structure1/gerinfvbs.html]verbs”>http://www.iei.uiuc.edu/structure/structure1/gerinfvbs.html) for similar verb phrases.</p>

51

<p>Hey everyone…what was the recycling question and the answer choices on the writing section? I remember that there was a debate about this…</p>

52

<p>Does PSAT has any resemblance to actual SAT? Is it worth practicing the old PSAT for upcoming SATs? Thanks</p>

53

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes, they are very similar in question style.</p>
