<p>Omg! Thank you so much! I’ve been looking for things like this to help me prepare for my SAT :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>(B) is grammatically correct, but it isn’t logical. A daily routine is not awaiting its flawless execution as it is being planned; such simultaneity is indicated by “all the while,” however.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>In a nutshell: when it could logically and grammatically be referring to something other than what it apparently intends to refer to or when it cannot be logically and grammatically referring to what it apparently intends to refer to. If that guideline sounds lacking in objectivity to you, you’re right.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, technically you’re wasting several hours (and likely much more time if you prepare) because the entire thing is a mildly conspiratorial and decidedly maniacal plot perpetuated by foreign-derived entities residing in the US to manipulate the minds of college-bound high school students.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>For now, perhaps. But you just wait…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>By practicing (if you dare).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What? I don’t even understand the original sentence… Can someone tell me what it means?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>More context would be helpful; we don’t what “it” is. But the colon is basically serving as an introduction to the description of “an image of perfection.”</p>
<p>
Yeah, about that. This is one rule that bugs me, because it’s just not objective (just like when you’re supposed to delete the agent from a passive sentence).
If you have, for example: The parents informed their children that they would be going out for the night.
Logically, it’s pretty clear that ‘they’ refers to ‘parents’. Grammatically, I’m not so sure, but I think it’s an ambiguous pronoun. Do you have any elaboration on this?</p>
<p>silverturtle, in all honesty do you think i can raise my 2160 (690CR, 720math, 750writing) if i study hardcore until the Oct 9 test?</p>
<p>o oops. i meant to say raise that score to a 2300+. lol. thanks!</p>
<p>sporty04, I’m sailing in the same boat lol. Scoring ~2200, but want to get a score of >2300 (Well, who doesn’t?). I know (of?) lots of people who’ve been able to raise their scores from 2100 to 2300+, and many who’ve been able to raise it only by a few points. It’s all upto you. Practice, and believe. Don’t let anyone tell you that you cannot get a 2300 with just a month of practice left. It’s totally possible! :)</p>
<p>
‘they’ is ambiguous.
The parents informed their children that they (the whole family/the children/the parents)would be going out for the night.</p>
<p>
<<bears an=“” expression=“” of=“” incredulity=“”>> What do you mean? I hope you were kidding! Everyone here (including me) takes everything you say, very, very seriously.</bears></p>
<p>This is the SAT question of the day, was wondering why A is wrong?</p>
<p>The accident left Tom not so much incapacitated as -------: he was left weak, but the doctors gave him reason to expect -------.</p>
<h1>A) enfeebled . . progression</h1>
<h1>(B) inconvenienced . . deterioration</h1>
<h1>(C) frustrated . . enervation</h1>
<h1>(D) vindicated . . complication</h1>
<h1>(E) debilitated . . recovery</h1>
<p>in context, progression (progress through ranks) fits somewhat awkwardly into the sentence, when compared to recovery (which directly means to return to a normal state of health). In this case, both are technically correct, although E just fits more appropriately.</p>
<p>OMG how did I not know of this guide’s existence before??!!</p>
<p>And I know you’re probably sick of hearing this, but THANKS for doing this. Honestly. I didn’t get much out of the math section, but seriously, the CR and W (especially the grammar guide) was so immensely helpful…what I knew subconsciously and would draw on when I was merely lucky to think of them, you actually had clearly outlined in the guide.</p>
<p>And the grammar guide was amazing. I think most the stuff I tentatively knew, but after reading everything you wrote it solidified. And I learned why I was getting some stuff wrong that I didn’t know about before. 
So thanks so much.</p>
<p>I have a writing question</p>
<p>High school graduates do not end up earning as much incom,e as college graduates do, this being why so many high school students go on to pursue college degrees.</p>
<p>The answer is </p>
<p>C. do; this fact explains why so many high school students</p>
<p>why cant it be
do, explaining why so many high school students</p>
<p>the CB explanation is kind of not making sense-it basically says that the explaining is not properly modifiied, so it is not clear what/who is explaining. In my opinion, the statement explains why so many students go on to pursue college degrees, right?</p>
<p>@kbbm24,</p>
<p>try to put it like this:
High school graduates do not end up earning as much income explaining why so many high school students.</p>
<p>See? Doesn’t make sense.</p>
<p>another question</p>
<p>something of a phenomenon in the entertaintment world, political satirists are admired by conservatives and radicals alike…</p>
<p>there is no error in the sentence, and I was correct, but I had a sudden doubt…</p>
<p>Political satirists is plural, correct? And phenomenon is singular? How is this correct then?</p>
<p>sorry, last question!</p>
<p>Although he played a leading role in planning expeditions, Dr. Sagan refused to accept praise for the plans he designed nor otherwise profiting from later advancements in space exploration</p>
<p>the answer is had designed or otherwise to profit</p>
<p>whats this sentence even saying?</p>
<p>After marching for foiur hours in temperatures exceeding ninety degrees, the band members were as asoaked as “if marching” through a rainstorm.</p>
<p>b) having marched
d) if they had marched</p>
<p>Why is B wrong? I want to understand the college board explanation that : Choice (B) involves a faulty comparison. It compares the degree to which the band members were soaked with “having marched.”</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
