<p>but I didnt say that - I dont want to **** off the ACT people.</p>
<p>Glorious color is not needed. nowhere in the passage does it describe what the pottery looks like, how it is decorated, or what color it is.</p>
<p>The anamoly was the warming climate of today</p>
<p>ahh warming climate i think that was the anomaly, but glorious color was definitely needed, the two explanations that said it wasnt had absolutely nothing to do with the style or rhetoric developed by the author</p>
<p>aghh i got killed by science. i hate how if you miss 3 you go to like a 30...</p>
<p>thats not always the case</p>
<p>The white-water kayaking --</p>
<p>Was it necessary to keep the "kayak is completely covered except for the seats" part? I said it wasn't needed, but that kinda stumped me.</p>
<p>I kept that in there, just felt right to me.</p>
<p>lets start posting all the science questions we remember</p>
<p>I got rid of that seats part. It just did not fit with the sentence. But I don't remember what reason I put why...I think maybe I said it was wordy? I don't know, but it definately was one strange sentence.</p>
<p>I have a bad memory. So...I'll contribute what I can.</p>
<p>Ugh...I was feeling better about this test earlier...but now I'm doubting myself. The whole flat soda thing screwed me over.</p>
<p>yea the soda and the bacteria both were hard for me</p>
<p>Wow I really can't think of any more...I guess just sit and pray for the best</p>
<p>For the transmitter one, my test only gave the radius for ONE of the transmitters (60 mi) and their distance apart. Was mine a typo on the ACT's part? (I serioudly just stared at that question for about an hour before giving up...).</p>
<p>iin77: ?Each of my parent?s/parents? backyards?--??--depends on whether his parents have separate back yards, or they own two together"</p>
<p>Well, not exactly. If they had separate backyards, it would still be parents'. Because the plural s tends to confuse people, replace "parent" with "child" and "parents" with "children." Would you say "Each of my child's [parent's] backyards" or "Each of my children's [parents'] backyards"? Since the passage was referring to two parents (or, in our example, children), it must be parents'.</p>
<p>"Each of my parent's backyards" means "Each backyard of my parent" [NOT "Backyards of each of my parent"]
"Each of my parents' backyards" means "Backyards of each of my parents."
In the first case, 'each' is modifying 'backyards.' In the latter, 'each' is modifying 'parents.' ("Each" can't be modifying "backyards" in the second example because you wouldn't say "each backyards.")</p>
<p>Hmm. In the kayak passage, I kept the seats part. I thought that it gave the reader more information in order to visualize the kayak. Any more thoughts?</p>
<p>does anyone remember the answer to one of the line problems. Two lines crossed and it said the angles created were equal and it gave u the equation of one line. Then it asked the slope of the other. Was it -2 or unable to tell?</p>
<p>i kept it for the same reason....i was pretty confident</p>
<p>i bombed the math part, im so mad. Does anyone know what around 8-10 wrong is in math?</p>
<p>elloque10: I don't know how accurate this is, but I've heard that if you divide your score by the number possible and multiply by 36, you'll get a close approximation. (E.g., 10 wrong in math would be 50/60, which is .8333. Multiply x 36 = 30. That sounds wrong, though...)</p>
<p>elluque, for that problem all you have to do is put a negative on the slope of the equation they gave you, which im not sure what it was so i dont know if the answer was -2, but just tack on a negative</p>
