ACT October 26 FORM 73A English Discussion

<p>Let's post here. It's easier to divide the 4 sections.</p>

<p>1) hurtled was correct</p>

<p>Agreed. Respite was correct as well.</p>

<p>I believe the correct comma placement was “he quipped, in retrospect ironically,” because there were only two answer choices with a comma directly after ironically. There needed to be a comma there because there was a quote immediately after ironically. The other option (I think) was “he quipped in retrospect ironically,” which needs more commas. So I went with the first placement with commas around “in retrospect ironically”</p>

<p>@proflamel Same here.</p>

<p>Same as Proflamel.</p>

<p>I can’t believe I choked on the respite v. remittance question and the hurtle v. hurdle question. I really hope a -2 is a 35 on English, because the ACT has been testing way too much random vocab lately.</p>

<p>Was rendering correct? I guessed on that one</p>

<p>@Ketann</p>

<p>I think I put rendering for one of the questions.</p>

<p>@TeachMeHowTo34 I am in the exact same boat as you. I seriously think I got everything correct on the English besides hurdle/hurtle and respite/remittance. I am sincerely hoping that a -2 will be a 35 but that’s a very rare English curve</p>

<p>Yeah, I think rendering was right.</p>

<p>I put rendering as well.</p>

<p>What did yall put for the jet black ink one…?</p>

<p>the jet black ink was weird I don’t remember
bump bump bump</p>

<p>I can’t even remember if I put hurtled or hurdled… I kept on flipping between the two. I think I chose the wrong one.</p>

<p>HELP
so the he quipped in retrospect ironically</p>

<p>is it “he quipped, in retrospect, ironically”</p>

<p>it wouldn’t be he quipped, in retrospect ironically,"</p>

<p>because you only need a comma before a quotation mark if its a verb of communication like
she said, “how are you”</p>

<p>and ironically is an adverb…idk me and my friend really think we got this hahah</p>

<p>I put the comma because “in retrospect ironically” is not a necessary part of the sentence and therefore requires commas both before and after</p>

<p>was “skill” the answer to one in the rosalind franklin essay?</p>

<p>I’m confused on whether a comma is needed in that sentence that went something like "popular X-ray crystallographer Rosalind Franklin blah blah blah. Can someone explain if a comma is needed and why?</p>

<p>I think I put a comma after “crystallographer” just because it felt right. I could be wrong.</p>

<p>no comma because it didnt say “a” before crytallographer; there, it would of been a dependent sentence. anyone else agree on the no comma?</p>
