<p>Desperatechoas thanks a ton!</p>
<p>I’ve been trying to remember the wording of that question to desribe it to my friend…</p>
<p>That one I was really stuck between “no error” and “would be”. I was debating whether “would be” is the proper substitute for “was” or “would have been”…</p>
<p>I ended up circling “would be”, and that one was driving me nuts.</p>
<p>i put no error for the fairly certain one</p>
<p>damn i missed one for sure then. Can someone plz explain the correct answer? i foolishly put A, the one with the semicolon and exhaustive</p>
<p>many always has to have a noun following it, specifically a countable one. Some is the same as much and many, they need nouns to follow to indicate what there is some of. I just feel that since there could be many interpretations of some, it has to be wrong since the SAT’s strive to make questions as uncontroversial as possible</p>
<p>VWITME - exhaustive does not describe someone who is tired. FOr example: A list is exhaustive if it contains all the possibilities. A person is exhausted after a run. The others had some major grammatical errors.</p>
<p>Did anyone get a question about:</p>
<p>Alaska, hunter, gatherer, still they build “buildings”</p>
<p>I can only remember fragments of the question as it was really long for a writing one… or was that experimental?</p>
<p>I don’t remember it, although I could be wrong.</p>
<p>well what about the sentence “i exhausted all my resources”…wouldnt that mean used up as well?</p>
<p>and the ? about the orchestra director:</p>
<p>to conduct band, orchestra, and direct choir
or
to conduct band, orch, choir</p>
<p>technically you don’t “conduct” a choir so wouldnt that change the meaning of the original</p>
<p>Just to clafiry, did everyone have the same essay topic of being impolite? If so, I used McMurphy from One flew over the cuckoos nest and then a personal example I made up. How high do you think like 1.7 pgs with two examples and a full conclusion can score? I’ll be happy with a 10 cuz I don’t think I missed more than 1 or 2 MC</p>
<p>"conduct band, orch, choir</p>
<p>^ I said that. I’ve never heard that you can’t conduct a choir? Then agin I know nothing about choir</p>
<p>I put direct cuz you can’t conduct choir and changes meaning if you don’y put direct</p>
<p>You CAN conduct a choir, just like any other music ensemble.</p>
<p>The SAT would not ask to distinguish such even if it was the case.</p>
<p>Ok but doesn’t it change the meaning?</p>
<p>“Conducting is the act of directing a musical performance by way of visible gestures. Orchestras, choirs, concert bands and other musical ensembles”</p>
<p>they call our orchestra the director, too, so I think its interchangeable</p>
<p>It was conduct for all three musical things… that choice was the only one that maintained parallel sentence structure.</p>
<p>And wasn’t there a different problem with the “direct” answer?</p>
<p>the orchestras, choirs, and concert bands had too parts to it: 1. paralellism, the orchestra, the choir, the concert band or w/e and 2. not only… but also…</p>
<p>no the answer with all conducts was wrong. I remember after the conducts verb it said “but also manage” or some other plural verb. It should be singular and the only one that had the singular verb was the one that had conducts and directs.</p>
<p>No, I think “manage” was meant to be an infinitive, because her first duty was expressed as an infinitive and so the second one needed to be too…</p>
<p>crap i think your right. was it “but also TO manage” or “but also manages”?</p>
<p>No, it was just manage, but you don’t need the “to,” you can just say “her duty was to conduct and manage.”</p>
