<p>This is for the SAT Writing. Answers to questions:</p>

<p>I dont remember any, lol, so when you guys give me some, I will keep updating the list</p>

<p>1 …Monkey’s through sign language… – Correct
2 Mosque question-- Correct
3 Hemingway question – more/most unified (Controversy on this)

5 The Era of Greek tyrants, who ruled… (No error??)

<p>Coffee Passage</p>

<p>1 Delete nevertheless
2 Coffeehouse… “the debate would continue into the night”
3 “The authorities’ fear of coffee drinking” may seem ridiculous</p>

2

<p>Monkeys and mosque were correct, I think.</p>

3

<p>for number 4, to is correct…the question went like …will present puppet show…earlier this year…</p>

<p>so its obviously a tense error?</p>

4

<p>I think the whole sentence was written in future tense, so I put to. My reason for to is because the sentence says …will present puppet shows for the delegates to the United Nations. Changing to the to to a from or of makes the sentence sound better.</p>

<p>Edit: Ok, now I dont even remember whether I put the tense or the ‘idiom error’</p>

5

<p>Yeah, there was an /awful/ tense error on the delegate UN one. It said something like
“The puppet guy WILL PRESENT a show to the delegates … EARLIER THIS YEAR.”</p>

<p>On the Greek tyrant one, I put A-- there was nothing wrong with it, right?..</p>

6

<p>Yes, it was the tense error. “Delegate to” is idiomatically correct. Type the phrase in the NY Times website. It is used quite frequently.</p>

7

<p>I dont think there was anything wrong with it</p>

<p>From June 2008 Writing Thread:</p>

<p>topick19: there was this other question about ‘being dependent to’
i said it was wrong because i thought it was dependent on
the question was about this girl who wanted to be independent but something until she found a job i think…</p>

<p>Coffee passage #3 is wrong. The paragraph was talking about the Kings and legislation, the authorities (police) were mentioned as a sidenote in the beginning. The sentence was referring to coffee’s ban by Kings. The paragraph went something like this: “Although it may seem ridiculous, it was justified. Coffehouses stirred up anti-monarch sentiments which posed a serious danger to King Henry…”</p>

10

<p>I dont remember that being an answer:</p>

<p>A. Leave it as it is
B. Change it to …doctors…
C. Change it to “The authorities’ fear of Coffee drinking”
Don’t remember the other 2.</p>

11

<p>i don’t quite remember the greek tyrant question… wasn’t there something wrong with the original that had to with singular/plural? like “the era of … MARK…”?</p>

12

<p>I thought that the original question was “the era of… marks…” I saw in the answers a bunch of mark.</p>

13

<p>ok… now i think i’m starting to remember. did choice b have “the era of… marked” ? and if so, what was wrong with it?</p>

14

<p>The answers:</p>

<p>A. Same
B. who ruled from…marked/marks?
C. although…
D. ruling from… marked…
E. ruling from… marks…</p>

15

<p>B was: who ruled from … mark</p>

<p>so that’s why it was wrong</p>

16

<p>do you remember any more of the sentence (B)?</p>

17

<p>can someone please refresh my memory as to what the mosque question was. does anyone remember the question regarding Latin American influences?</p>
