<p>from wikipedia:</p>
<p>An adverb is a part of speech. It is any word that modifies any other part of language: verbs, adjectives (including numbers), clauses, sentences and other adverbs, except for nouns; modifiers of nouns are primarily determiners and adjectives.</p>
<p>Of course adverbs can modify adjectives. If you like your steak well done, then you know this.
(that was probably a bad example, but you know.)</p>
<p>Yea…you can DEFINITELY use adverbs to describe adjectives…hahah
btw, do any of you remember the one about like how the people were distant…?
it was something like</p>
<p>“though distant…we opted to walk to see the city”
it was something like that
i don’t remember the whole sentence</p>
<p>which ones were the 4 no errors?</p>
<p>The one with the museum and the city was awkwardly phrased. I reread it maybe 10 times because I thought I was missing something. I think B and C were fragments, D had a verb issue, and E didn’t make sense. Therefore I just went with A even though it seemed wrong to me.</p>
<p>i’m so sorry if this q’s already been asked & answered but i’ve neglected the writing forum - what was the ans to the q about what would come after the last sentence for the bird migration? i think i chose a) that if young birds didn’t see stars that would affect their navigational development … i was stuck btwn a) and c) something abt young able to fly even when separate from the rest of their group.</p>
<p>^ thats right. </p>
<p>how many E’s did you get? I got 4: desert landscape, asking prof after class, something about journals or something and would not have, etc</p>
<p>I think that the consensus is 4 Es. I did but knowing me, they weren’t the right four…</p>
<p>thanks delian! yea i got 4 e’s but they’re probably diff from everyone else…</p>
<p>i’m not sure about how many e’s i got…but 4 sounds abuot right?</p>
<p>so, any new insight on the cat rent/own metaphor vs danger debate?</p>
<p>i still think its metaphor…but thats just me</p>
<p>for the black holes question, do you guys remember if the singulars were the bottom choices? i recall putting a B…</p>
<p>I got metaphor for rent/own.</p>
<p>Ichiruki: Sorry, A and B were plural. I think it was either C or D, don’t remember.
SHS: I put A too for that one because it sounded best.</p>
<p>And for the 4 no errors, are you guys talking about JUST the ID Error section? Because I too got 4 no errors. It was: pro aviator person, desert landscape, student asking question for which there was no time, and one other one I can’t remember. The last no error was like in the 20s I think.</p>
<p>For the cat question, I didn’t get metaphor. That is not a metaphor, if anything, personification. The “cats owning instead of renting” was used to emphasis the danger of cats or something like that. A metaphor does not use a verb, it is an object to object comparison. For example, “The cat is Hercules” would definitely be a metaphor.</p>
<p>I was looking for personification too, but since it wasn’t a choice, it was still metaphorical in nature.</p>
<p>Metaphorical in nature? No, collegeboard will not accept metaphor as an answer for ANYTHING LESS than a metaphor.</p>
<p>A metaphor must compare and contrast NOUNS. Typically, a metaphor is used when comparing to unlikely objects.</p>
<p>Neither of those are true. Even if you were comparing cats that own to cats that rent(which the statement DOES NOT), I would still be hard pressed to say that it is a metaphor.</p>
<p>is the black hole question where or whereby?</p>
<p>The black hole question was unrelated to that one. The main thing about that one was plural useage.</p>
<p>In the where vs whereby question, I’m fairly certain it was whereby. The reason had nothing to do with where or whereby, rather, it was a grammatical error that came later in the sentence.</p>
<p>for the desert one i put C, “to some” because it was ambiguous…it could have been to some extent, to some people…there was no pronoun!!</p>
<p>What were the other choices for the cat one, then? And can someone plzzzz tell me if you remember the exact wording of the black hole answer? I can’t figure out if I picked the right one or not out of C, D, or E</p>
