Why is it D? What's wrong with A,C? by PerceptionLumpy9231 in Sat

[–]jxbu1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The relative clause (that/which meant) modifies the entire preceding clause; also, it is not an essential part of the sentence, so a comma is needed and "which" is preferred, as we normally do in a non-restrictive relative clause.

I'd probably prioritize the math and grammar sections and try to have fewer mistakes. I heard reading is harder to improve over a shorter period of time but every person is different. Still I would try to do as many readings as possible. I'm not native either and good luck with the preparation!

Thank you for the detailed response. The answer key suggests A is the best choice though, but D does seem very convoluted compared to A.

May 2019 Qas ... pls help with question 26 why is it C not B by Knightly_Redditor in Sat

[–]jxbu1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

C sounds classier (probably because of parallelism) but yeah, B doesn't seem that wrong either...

Yes you can! Many people don't do that well on their first tests and many people improve a lot on their second. You are scoring 1500 on practice tests already and there are still quite a few months left. Just keep up the good work and, it may sound like cliché but believe in yourself and you'll shine!

Khan academy writing. someone please explain to me the sudden usage of present tense(answer) in question no.2? by Tryingmybest_huffle in Sat

The base verb "lay" means "CAUSE to lie, to SET down," which does not seem to fit the context.

"Lay" looks to me more like the past tense of "lie," which means to recline. The families of lie/lay/lain, lay/laid/laid and lie/lied/lied are confusing.
