    Honestly I was just confused on what topics in khan academy would come under "Standard English Conventions" because I wanted to practice them since I struggled with them on my PSAT. You seemed to have cleared that within the first minute of the video. Thank you 🙏

    For the Spivak question, after the blank it’s a dependent clause tho, how cld u use a semi colon? Is it bc the last second after the blank is an independent clause? Shld I only be looking at the last sentence of a passage after a blank them?

    • @345tutoring
      @345tutoring  3 місяці тому

      Yes, that's it exactly. There is a similar example (also involving a semicolon and "rather") in this video: ua-cam.com/video/nkYQC3zxSVE/v-deo.html

    In 9- answer D could be a better option 👍

    • @345tutoring

      No, not here. The comma before "Marie Tharp" isn't necessary in this case.
      In contrast, the comma would be necessary in the following case: "The field of geological oceanography owes its origins to one very special American geologist, Marie Tharp."
                
      I go over some similar examples in this video: ua-cam.com/video/1eiwqv-_xSg/v-deo.html

    This is extraordinarily late, but for the question at 5:57, why isn't populations' possessive? Is it not the customs that were from the local populations'?

    • @345tutoring
      @345tutoring  11 місяців тому +1

      Yes, it is the customs of the populations, but when it's written that way ("of the populations"), there is no need for an apostrophe.
      What I was saying in the video at that point is that another possible correct answer could have been "the populations' customs" (although "customs of the populations" is still preferable, I'd say).
      Another example:
      correct: "the lion's teeth"
      also correct: "the teeth of the lion"
      not correct: "the teeth of the lion's"
      Does this make sense?

      The main issue with all of the incorrect answers on this question is that they are not finite verbs (i.e., main verbs), meaning that each of them would result in a sentnece fragment. We need a finite/main verb to pair with the subject ("the International Astronomical Union""). I could have explained this more quickly in the video, but I was focusing too much on the verb tense.
      This video does a better job of explaining the different kinds of verb questions on the DSAT: ua-cam.com/video/WohsPC93ePk/v-deo.html

    how many points do standard english conventions make up

    • @345tutoring
      @345tutoring  8 місяців тому

      Well, they make up roughly 1/4 of the questions on the R&W, so I would estimate it's around 200 points (1/4 of 800).

    I don't agree with the answer in the 14th question. How can there be a comma after 'and'?

    • @d3rinnn
      @d3rinnn Рік тому +1

      ,in the process, is an extra information

    • @345tutoring
      @345tutoring  Рік тому

      As the other commenter said, it's because "in the process" is an interruption. You're right that there typically wouldn't be a comma after "and," but this represents one kind of exception to that rule.

      That's a funny way to put it. :)
      I don't know -- maybe the actual test questions are still harder than what the Khan Academy has up? Unfortunately, I have no way to see the actual test questions (apart from the Bluebook practice tests).
