act english section 2012 february

<p>@Hopeful, yes, the English writers seemed to have a thing for of/have errors on the test - that, apostrophes and their mother’s hands…</p>

<p>I felt the English section was fairly straight forward.</p>

<p>I feel as if it was definetely harder than the Dec Test. Any1 agree with me?</p>

<p>it was definitely cradling. what was the last question (#75)? was it C or D. both were very similar but I couldn’t decide which was the “better answer”</p>

<p>this was the question about whether the last passage fulfilled the purpose of the early success of the railroads people or something like that. I’m pretty sure it was NO, it did not. But c and d… arg both sounded right</p>

<p>I put D for the last question</p>

<p>i forgot the railroad part. something about a standard gauge</p>

<p>i put D for the last one also, that was the hardest Q for me</p>

<p>sweeeeet. I changed it to D last minute. I think that one was a little bit better b/c it was more specific.</p>

<p>The very first question was the one that stumped me, was it “famous photographer [name]” or "famous photographer, [name] "?</p>

<p>Was it rails or many rails?</p>

<p>cheesecak, there should b no comma b4 his name</p>

<p>i put many rails also cheesecake i put the one without the comma</p>

<p>i agree, there should not be a comma. the information is not a btw phrase - rather it is important to the meaning of the sentence, so ergo, the comma is unnecessary</p>

<p>“Railroads are more complex today ___________” Was it “than ever before”?
and
Was that one question “livelihood of”?</p>

<p>yes! livelihood was right!</p>

<p>at this point, I’m just praying for a nice curve where -1 is still a 36 but I doubt it</p>

<p>Yea, I put livelihood of.</p>

<p>Does anybody remember changing “have arose” to “have arisen” on the author parody passage? I kept it “have arose” and I’m pretty sure that’s wrong now.</p>

<p>i put have arose… but i think that it was probably have arisen</p>

<p>I put have arisen, but i had NO idea about that one. I thought the first passage was hard lol.</p>

<p>I put “have arisen”. </p>

<p>Also, for the railroad one that was something like “moved ______ closer to the other rail”, did anyone else get “one rail”? I was thinking it had to be singular to match with “the other rail”, I’m not sure if that’s the railroad one you were mentioning earlier.</p>
