April 2011 ACT English Discussion

<p>There was some problem with history “into” or “onto”… which one was it? Can’t remember.</p>

<p>@Stanford Yes, it was definitely wintry… I think that was the only actual word that was a choice lol.</p>

<p>@ anon the one before that. there was an option to put a comma before “had” and that’s all I remember… I was debating whether a comma went there</p>

<p>i put wintry, i dunno if winteringly is even a word, into history i think is what i put</p>

<p>Okay, so there was this one about keeping a plastic bucket in the shower to water the tree. Did you delete the underlined portion or put “from there?” 'Cuz otherwise it was</p>

<p>I used dirty dishwater to water the tree. I kept a plastic bucket in the shower and watered the tree in there. </p>

<p>In there didn’t make sense, but without that the “watered the tree” seems random, and the two ideas are unconnected.</p>

<p>Also, the one about the Vietnam memorial, was it:</p>

<p>adorning the wall with flags etc.
or
the wall was adorned with flags etc.</p>

<p>The second one made more sense, but it was passive voice, so I wasn’t sure.</p>

<p>I said no comma, I believe.</p>

<p>It’s definitely ‘the wall was adorned’ because it was the wall was etched, not the visitors or the flags.</p>

<p>i put the wall was adorned… i think thats called a dangling modifier if its not corrected</p>

<p>@firesoul Same answer here.</p>

<p>kay good, because that’s what I put. But what about the tree one?</p>

<p>That tree one was really weird. I put “from that” but I am not sure.</p>

<p>Also, was one of the answers: “at the shopping mall”</p>

<p>Which one was it? “Bring forth” or “come up with”?? haha, you guys are mixing the two. I put “bring forth”</p>

<p>what tree one? i remember the last question was asking about the essay as a whole, and i put no since it was only his back yard or somthing</p>

<p>The one with “from that,” “in there,” delete, and something else. The shopping mall was one for the statue one.</p>

<p>What was the answer for the one that asked about the tree asking which one provides new and relevant information, I put at the shopping mall.</p>

<p>bring forth my bad, shopping mall sounds right</p>

<p>@agn I put from that, otherwise the sentence doesn’t make sense.</p>

<p>@bio Yes, I remember putting shopping mall for an answer.</p>

<p>What was the answer to the Chinese Passage about why the “shop” was expanded. I put that it needed more room for business, I think. I said that because in the passage, it talked about all of the storage that the expansion resulted in. I may be completely msitaken. What was the answer?</p>

<p>Definitely shopping mall, because it added new information.</p>

<p>Damn, I said expanded because one woman had eight children…I didn’t think that it discussed significant growth in the size of their business.</p>

<p>Actually, I think it was the 8 children. That’s what I said.</p>

<p>Yesssss 10char</p>
