<p>Anon posted it in page 15. it was like "he painter received recognition in 1960 with his painting, which he created with thick oil paints. created was underlined</p>

That was one of the three that I put NE. I think some were debating whether or not to put “had created”. I still think the sentence has no error though.</p>
<p>What was the question like:
Designers of traditional Greek castles (or w/e), unlike traditional Indian castles (or w/e), blah blah blah. </p>
<p>traditional before Indian castles was highlighted and I selected that one as the incorrect one… b/c wouldn’t you compare designers of traditional Greek castles with designers of traditional Indian castles not the castles themselves???</p>
<p>Also, what were the 3 “no error” ones for the choose the error section?</p>
<p>What were the 3 “no error” questions?</p>
<p>@danielle2013
yes the error was in (A), it was Italian and Chinese gardens though :P</p>
<p>in 1960 with his painting, which he created with thick oil paints…</p>
<p>“created” vs. “had created”</p>
<p>we have to identify the error;
I am convinced that “created” is not necessarily wrong.</p>
<p>When a sentence contains two actions or events that occurred in the past, the action that occurred first should be in the past perfect. “Created” has to be changed to “had created” to indicate that the painting was created before he received the recognition in 1960. (Atleast what I think)</p>
<p>I once made an 800 in writing, but I’m sure it was only luck! I appear to have missed 4! That lava question is ridiculous, by the way… Saying, “they combine to,” implies that the reason they were combining was to create the toxins or whatever. Ughhhh.</p>
<p>What was the answer to the lava question?</p>
<p>^“lava combines with water to form corrosive gases” something similar to that</p>
<p>Cool, I believe I chose that</p>
<p>Hmmm… I did better than I expected. STUPID LIKE/AS… changed it right as I was checking over my answers. So I’m probably at 2- with hopefully a 9 or 10 essay - better than 730? I basically retook just to increase my writing score.</p>
<p>Who can tell me why the correct answer is B, but not E. I’ve been confused for a long time.

The reason first novels are so often their writers’ best work (((is that it draws upon))) all the experiences of childhood.
(B) is that these first efforts draw upon
(E) is their drawing from</p>
<p>Thx a lot</p>
<p>what was the question that was like “in 1954, when they had been internationally known, Louis Armstrong and (some girl) collaborated on …”</p>
<p>^ it had to be lava combines with water which was D. The “combination…combine” answer choice had a subject/verb disagreement. Because it was a singular “combination,” it needed combines.</p>
<p>Any consensus on created vs had created? Could -1.25/11 be an 800? -2.5/11? -2.5/12?</p>
<p>I’m an advocate for No Error on the artist sentence.
-1.25/11 could be 800, but very slim chance.</p>
<p>@eu4ria
The past perfect can be used in the case in which two distinct clauses need to understood relative to time. In this case past perfect OR NO past perfect is acceptible. Since had created is right, but the original was also right, the answer is no error.
@bob
You are right. -1 11 800 is only if the test was hard. Our was relatively easy. Especiall the MC></p>
<p>Okay, I put E there so that’s good. I’m pretty sure I’d have an 800 in the bag if I didn’t change as to like at the literal last second. I don’t know why I did it. As sounds better. I’ve read it used like that a million times. I guess I need a 12 now. Nobody said if 12 -2.5 is ever an 800 though? But I’m pretty I didn’t get any more wrong.</p>
<p>I don’t remember the artist sentence. Which section and what question was it? Does anyone know the sentence verbatim?</p>
