<p>So there has been some contriversy about what the correct answer is, I am gonna post a link to a poll, pick the one you put on the test. In a week I can count the number of votes per each and determine this one and for all.</p>
<p>Why do this? It is clearly argumentative and not informative, especially the last paragraph. I have yet to see a legitimate argument for informative. You can clearly see several arguments being formed, especially through the quotations that were selected by the author. Also, if you read the rest of the answer for informative it said about indie booksellers which it hardly even mentioned let alone informed the audience about, so the answer was argumentative.</p>
<p>“if you read the rest of the answer”. Please enlighten us of the second part of the answer and explain how it is not true. I personally chose informative. Reasons have been stated by many people and I do not really want to reiterate them.</p>
<p>someone please tell me what the central argument of the essay was and then i will believe it is argumentative… everyone says he has an argument but no when says specifically what the argument it. how can it be so absolutely argumentative when his argument isnt even made clear</p>
<p>Picklechicken, if you read after, I said the answer choice was something along the lines of, “Informative about indie booksellers,” which is wrong because if anything it was informative about the way things are happening to the indie booksellers, not the booksellers themselves. If it was informative about the booksellers then the author would have gone in depth to describe and inform readers about indie booksellers which he does not do.</p>
<p>If the seller in half of the answer was completely and obviously wrong I wouldn’t have chosen it. If you can give me the actual second half of it rather than giving your memory’s summary of it then maybe I will agree with you.</p>
<p>guys it’s argumentative, i put that and got a 36 on the reading section</p>
<p>How do you know what you got?</p>
<p>Yeah how do u know what u already got?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>How do you expect him to remember it word for word? Nobody remembers the exact wording of the questions on the ACT, that’s an unrealistic expectation. Nevertheless, he is right - the answer choice was informative about indie book stores. Half the passage had nothing to do with Indies, but superstores, making that answer incorrect. You can make a good argument that it was informative, but there’s no way you can argue that most of the passage was about indie book stores, making the answer choice incorrect.</p>
<p>considering how much controversy there is over this particular question i would say a -1 would still be a 36 so remain calm</p>
<p>I’m praying for a curve like that; I cant stop thinking about the test. I wish reading was as easy as the April 2013 test… then I’d be very confident in my score</p>
<p>baileyj, you seem to have a propensity to make very arbitrary comments on here when people don’t agree with what you think lol. I can remember the wording of most ACT questions and answers that stumped me. I’m not saying you’re wrong. I’m just saying you need to learn how to justify if you’re going to contest what someone else says.</p>
<p>If you can’t even recall why you picked a certain answer choice, why even support that choice? top lel</p>
<p>There is ample evidence already stated in the official reading thread. Read through page 1 to the end. Bailey is probably frustrated by people on the informative side, because (no offense) have not be able to make a solid argument, yet still keep disagreeing and arguing</p>
<p>QUICK UPDATE ON VOTES: out of the 67 received, 42 say argumentative, thats 64%</p>
<p>IMMA LET IT RUN FOR A FEW MORE DAYS BEFORE FINAL RESULTS</p>
<p>Obviously people are going to vote for what they feel is right because they chose it… I say informative is the correct answer I saw no reason to believe it was argumentative from the passage in the TEST not online. All answers are from the passage not its original source.</p>
<p>I can see you guys understand sarcasm very well</p>
