SAT January 2012 - Writing

<p>@SAT100 , That’s exactly what I put, #11 was the semi-colon with the longest choice</p>

<p>@SRhett It was A. The evidence one right?</p>

<p>I thought the Writing section was extremely easy. No problems except “Each of the men” “is” or “are” I chose “is”</p>

<p>no… i think you wrote ur essay off topic</p>

<p>the question was whether progress and improvement come from the setbacks faced along the way</p>

<p>anyone remembered something about this vet who used x rays to find some vitamin then she won a Nobel prize i think for her work?</p>

<p>@Ark : I remember the question but I forget which word I chose.
@Swedish : The essay topic was whether “improvements or progress involve a significant setback or problem of some kind”.</p>

<p>@Arctk3, What part of the grammar? #1-11 or #12-29</p>

<p>as 000 said i think the nobel prize one was A cuz the rest created comma splices</p>

<p>Was the answer “as evidenced by”?</p>

<p>I put semi colon at first but then changed my answer…what was it?
“and results in difficulty…”
or “;as a result, it is…”</p>

<p>I put “;as a result, is is…”</p>

<p>yeah. can anyone tell me what the last question of section 10 was. which is #14. was it A?</p>

<p>ANSWER MAH QUESTION!! </p>

<p>what about the one with the nobel prize?</p>

<p>I got it: blah blah, winning the prize or something?</p>

<p>The quinceera one didn’t make sense. Each girl, and then it says her… her really didn’t seem like it fit</p>

<p>both of you guys r correct and are referring to different questions</p>

<p>@jman I think I put A. I remember for one question all choices except A gave a comma splice.</p>

<p>@Loseyourself, I think you are referring to the question about the 200,000 species of plants, and animals in Madagascar. I am pretty sure the answer for that one had a semicolon.</p>

<p>@brother Each is singular, Collegeboard often uses each,either, neither, none, every, etc. to confuse the test taker into thinking the sentence (or whatever the grammatical term is) is plural.</p>

<p>her refers to each which is singular so it makes sense</p>

<p>For the quinceera, the mistake was “her” it should be “their” as it talks about more than one girl.</p>

<p>for the quincera one. i got NE and for the speed of sound i also got NE. anyone got that??</p>

<p>Why so much confusion. The essay topic is as written below:
The essay topic was whether “improvements or progress involve a significant setback or problem of some kind”.</p>
