Blue Print Practice 5  Prompt: A man who waits to believe in action before acting is anything you like, but he is not a man of action. It is as if a tennis player before returning the ball stopped to think about his views of the physical and mental advantages of tennis. You must act as you breathe. -Georges Clemenceau  Assignment: Is it true that acting quickly and instinctively is the best response to a crisis? Or are there times when an urgent situation requires a more careful consideration and a slower response? Plan your response, and then write an essay...

Adjective vs. Adverb

Adjectives modify nouns (The good boy; The loud noise, etc.) Adverbs modify verbs and adjectives and usually end in “–ly” : He speaks slowly; She runs quickly, etc. On the SAT, adverbs and adjectives are switched only with one another. If an adjective is underlined, stick in the adverb; if an adverb is underlined, stick in the adjective.

Examples The patient recovered quick although he had been very ill earlier in the week. (quickly) Because the man’s clothing seemed oddly, he attracted a number of stares. (odd)

Parallelism

A. Lists In any given list, each item should be in the exact same format. Either noun, noun, noun, verb, verb, verb, or gerund, gerund, gerund. Any deviation is incorrect. Ex: Susan likes to run, swim, and going horseback riding. (go)

B. Binary (Two-Part) Parallelism The construction on one side of a conjunction must match the construction on the other side of the conjunction as closely as possible. If one side contains noun + of + noun, the other must contain noun + of + noun; if one side contains a gerund, the other must contain a gerund, etc.

B. Binary (Two-Part) Parallelism Ex: The researchers called for strict enforcement of existing tobacco regulations as well as investigating teenagers’ motivations for smoking. (an investigation of)

Prepositions

Certain expressions always require certain prepositions. For example, one has a familiarity with something, not a familiarity in something. Because they are idiomatic, preposition questions must be done by ear; there is no way to anticipate what preposition will appear on a given test. Ex: A familiarity in Latin is useful for anyone who wishes to pursue serious study of a modern romance language. (with)
