it’s wild bc me and my coworker were just talking 2 seconds ago about how much money these consultants make and how ain’t a black face among them and they are so fucking incompetent
Page 802 #8 why is E wrong and D is right? D sounds so weird!!
What’s weird about it?
Pro tip: correct answers in SAT grammar OFTEN “sound weird,” because you haven’t yet, in your young life, become an encyclopedia of grammar and syntax. It’s OK; forgive yourself for that. When you come across something that sounded weird to you and ended up being right, instead of disbelieving that it’s right, trust that whoever wrote the question knows a little bit more about English than you and file that construction away as something you’ll recognize as correct next time.
Page 803 #12 Why is this one no error? All the answer choices sounded so weird I couldn't pick one or the other.
It’s no error because B-E have errors. B has a pronoun disagreement (giraffes and it). C is in the passive voice and also has weird causal implications. D and E have verb tense issues.
Blue Book test 8 section 10 #3 How do you differentiate between the answers? They all look so wordy/awkward to me.
I agree–these are all kinda crappy.
A has verb tense errors.
B is right.
C has a one/you error.
D seems to suggest that everyone comes to the same passage in multiple letters. Whaaa?
The “in which” in E is unnecessary.
BB page 855 #14 Can you explain a little bit on what the author is stating in that paragraph? I didn't get what he was saying. Thank you!
The narrator was saying that the typical narrative of a rugged, wandering loner who moved west (think gold prospectors in the 1840s or something) is not a good descriptor of his grandmother.
BB p. 836 #1
The first three choices are fragments–they have no main verb. Only choices D and E contain the “is” that you need, and of those only D makes logical sense. The “so” in choice E doesn’t work. The “where” in choice D does.
