April 2011 ACT English Discussion

<p>i remember that as being a different rhetorical answer though…</p>

<p>it should have stayed because she was talking about the flood as if it was a detriment because it was killing the tree at first. in the last paragraph she transitioned into how it allowed other plants to grow better than when the tree had been in her yard.</p>

<p>Did you guys put NO CHANGE in a lot of the questions? I did, especially in the beginning.</p>

<p>drought lol^ kinda polar opposites</p>

<p>i put a/f 16 times</p>

<p>Yeah that’s what i figured! Thanks!</p>

<p>oh wow yeah. science was the flood. it obviously tired me out! ):</p>

<p>was the very last question NO bc it only discussed the events in a backyard???</p>

<p>Yeah it was something along those lines.</p>

<p>@highteeld</p>

<p>that’s what i orginally put but after a closer inspection, I felt like the essay did show that drought management was ineffectice. The arbatror(sp?) came and told the lady that trees all across town are dying because of the ban on watering.</p>

<p>I thought it was yes. The tree represented how the whole town was suffering. But now i thuink I’m wrong because the tree wasn’t native.</p>

<p>Wow, I am not so sure anymore</p>

<p>i feel like the essay would have discussed the town as a whole throughout the passage more often if it were to be “yes”</p>

<p>I’m am 90% sure it’s not drought management. It did not show how the city managed the drought; it only showed the effects/consequences of the drought. I could be totally wrong, but that was the trickiest question in English imo.</p>

<p>no, the last question asked if it was an acceptable critique on water conservation or drought management or something along those lines. she mainly talked about the effects of the drought in her own yard.</p>

<p>Did you guys decide to keep the name of the festival in in the Cleopatra bust passage? I think that was the hardest in the section for me…</p>

<p>@smashing Nearly confident it was yes, but not sure which yes it was. It was either to show how the statue originated, or give details about the event…</p>

<p>i did but it was a guess, it kinda described what was happening</p>

<p>i kept it, i chose the second one. pretty sure it wasn’t the first one because in the passage it says that the sculpture was made FOR the event. the first answer said WHERE it was made, i didn’t think it fit as well. i wasn’t completely sure though, that one was weird.</p>

<p>It was the centerpiece of the event, the most well liked among the convention attendees. So it was kept.</p>

<p>so it was B?</p>
