April 2011 ACT English Discussion

<p>You guys may be right. I can’t really remember that question well.</p>

<p>What was the one where the guy was twirling his flashlight?</p>

<p>It was a tough one. I’d be surprised if anyone was 100% confident in their answer.</p>

<p>I said he should keep it because it added to the mood or something.</p>

<p>I said keep it for the flashlight as well, added to the scenery.</p>

<p>What did u guys say for the statue passage which had 4 different phrases and it asked about its relevance with the rest of the passage. I said something about I went to see them one evening because the passage was a personal narrative</p>

<p>Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using CC App</p>

<p>@CollegeBound That’s what I put too. Wasn’t that the DC passage? I put that he would go out to see them too.</p>

<p>^lolz to the tagline</p>

<p>It was definitely about taking a walk.</p>

<p>^ also said went to go see Washington DC in the evening. Otherwise there’s no good transition into the next paragraph.</p>

<p>I had trouble with the drought and the tree, where the the narrator was like “It was a horrible sight, teh tree kept dorpping needles” i dont know if it was laft as is or if there should have been an as after the comma</p>

<p>@timmyvirus exactly.</p>

<p>Yeah with the drought and the tree, was it horrible sight or horrific?</p>

<p>@Reag I got stumped there too. I put drop (I think B). I think it was the only one that had the same verb tense as the rest of the sentence.</p>

<p>One of them (I believe the drought passage) asked about an intro like “to my surprise”. Should be kept because it was a logical transition right?</p>

<p>About the tree, when he watered it with the shower water did you include the “with that” or not?</p>

<p>@sbl0323 Same here!</p>

<p>It was drop. If you look at parallel structure it was like
“the needles began to turn (color) and _______ off.” </p>

<p>turn= same tense as drop</p>

<p>I put horrific.</p>

<p>@Reaganomics</p>

<p>No ‘as’, I believe.</p>

<p>@timmyvirus Yes, I said “with that” because it was with that bucket/water.</p>

<p>damn, didn’t put ‘with that’ just because it was a terribly constructed sentence. -_-</p>
