April 2011 ACT Reading Discussion

<p>@loveny 30-31.</p>

<p>really that high?
I was thinking like a 29</p>

<p>WrightBros questions:
I think you guys were confusing two questions as one.</p>

<p>There was one question:
What made the creation of planes <em>easier</em>?
–Automobile Engine invention</p>

<p>What did the Wright Brothers do that no one else before them had done?
–They created vert/horiz things(not rudders) to make sure the plane didn’t <em>roll</em></p>

<p>*stuff marked with asterisk are keywords directly from the test.</p>

<hr>

<p>littlepenguin, I think you are correct. The keyword in that answer was <em>imitators</em>. The brothers went in remote fields to experiment where no one else would watch their invention and try to copy it.</p>

<p>it was definitely refurbished shed, cellar, and pits. the courtyard was an addition to the house but was irrelevant to their ink business.</p>

<p>the one about why the wright brothers wanted to fly in a private area was the one that said something about how they didn’t want imitators to see and steal their idea before they got it working right.</p>

<p>@Littlepenguin
Yes! I also put something about making a profit :))</p>

<p>What does “battery” mean on the fish passage?</p>

<p>I said that “battery” meant the arrangement of the fish or something because it directly mentioned the arrangement in the sentence.</p>

<p>@rtfish I put arrangement of fish muscle.</p>

<p>I also put arrangement of fish muscle…where there 2 answer choices that had the wrod muacle in them?</p>

<p>Wow typo…WORD MUSCLE in them**</p>

<p>what was the one where they asked the difference between the two fishes…it was referenced back to the last paragraph?</p>

<p>Can someone post the exact wording of the pits question? I don’t want to debate it, I just would like it know.</p>

<p>@loveny I put swimming as the difference between fishes.</p>

<p>fin location is correct</p>

<p>Yes, that’s what I put too! Yay!</p>

<p>Wait i put swimming…was fin location a choice? I am sure fin location wasn’t a choice.</p>

<p>@heyjjj It was like Which of the following accurately describes the locations of the ink making?</p>

<p>they swim slower than other fish, we may be confusing questions</p>

<p>wasn’t the swimming the answer to the question about the differencec between the orinary fish and the other fish?</p>

<p>i think so, but fin location was an answer somewhere, i found all of my answers in the text on the last section so im sure they are correct</p>
