<p>I put confident and straightforward for the question which asked us to describe the twin. </p>
<p>He seemed confident when answering people about “his brother’s whereabouts”.</p>
<p>I put pessimistic and irritable. It says he is dyspeptic which means irritable.</p>
<p>what resembled the simple gift? What do the players mean? Slow and brutal question? What does miracle mean? When we didn’t go to school we still dressed the same fake twins, ironic,? Those are all the questions I remember</p>
<p>@ephemeralbliss - So that’s what that word meant…</p>
<p>The clams bit for the eels passage had one sentence mentioning how the eels provided rhisomes or something. That was the answer, I think.</p>
<p>thats right</p>
<p>I’m unsure of the question about getting out and the gift.</p>
<p>Weren’t there two about the " twins"…the narrorator was pessimistic…there was one about the brother…I think I put something about being an attention seeker because I saw that in the passage</p>
<p>The 8-9 line/paragraph references in the twins passage instead of asking about traits of the passage as a whole made me spend about 12 minutes on that passage…Simply ridiculous. Once I got to the split book review passage of the test I was so confused on what ACT was trying to do with this horrible reading section. I didn’t get to the last 5 eel questions…Which is a shame, it seemed easy.</p>
<p>Also, here’s the Eelgrass passage:
[Audubon:</a> True Nature](<a href=“http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://archive.audubonmagazine.org/truenature/truenature0309.html]Audubon:”>http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://archive.audubonmagazine.org/truenature/truenature0309.html)</p>
<p>I despised that reading section, especially the first passage…</p>
<p>Honestly…that story was all over the place…shouldn’t have been on act</p>
<p>Kudos to those who have found those two stories thus far.</p>
<p>ACT sure likes to pull stories from the NY Times… literally at least one every time.</p>
<p>I can’t seem to find the Ford one anywhere… and I can’t remember the dual passage enough to search for it. Not worth the trouble.</p>
<p>I didn’t find the twin to be pessimistic at all, but that probably has more to do with my character.
I’m surprised so few people are talking about the comparison of passages one, there were like 3 questions I was unsure about. The first passage was probably the most humiliating way to start, but it made complete sense after rereading it at the end.
Does anyone remember any question/answers from the comparison passage?</p>

<p>In the eels passage, why don’t some animals eat the eelgrass? I thought I read something about a column of air, so I put that answer.</p>
<p>amrita - The answer to why some animals don’t eat the eelgrass is because of cellulose. It was in the passage.</p>
<p>For ford I put that he was straight-foward and self-critical or something along those lines.</p>
