December 2010 ACT English Discussion

<p>Lol, I agree with masta on the aroma one. But I put whiff, so hopefully he’s wrong</p>

<p>ACT: I also put “,and there”</p>

<p>I’ll ask the question again: did anyone else get 2 sets of AFAF?</p>

<p>hmm. I agree with mastablasta, I was talking about the one where she talked about moving to somewhere else in carolina?</p>

<p>How is it “and there”? I put “which”? Wasn’t it referring to the appointment? So the appointment was a small price to pay for getting x back. (idr what x was)</p>

<p>^I put whiff because it contradicted “overpowering.” I was going to choose aroma because of the positive connotation… but whiff just seemed so… wrong in there. and I have heard aroma being used even in a negative situation, albeit rarely.</p>

<p>also, for the one about “farm,” the answer was that it supported a point made later in the paragraph. If you read (I think it was the next sentence) on, there was some mention of her “simple” living and something about hard work? idk but it basically screamed “FARM”</p>

<p>Ah, I don’t really remember it. Who put “whom” for either of the two choices? I don’t think it was the right answer for either of them, but I’m not sure.</p>

<p>I put that as well, the intimacy thing I mean (with the farm)</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the one where it was like something and parenting has taught/ have taught… Etc?</p>

<p>I too put that the farm thing provided context for the next paragraph because the next paragraph stated that the artist had to adjust to a “simple, back-to-basic” lifestyle.</p>

<p>The answer wasn’t the “precise place” because saying that she lived on a farm does not reveal the “precise place” where the artist moved-- there can be several farms in Northern California (where the passage does say she moved to).</p>

<p>No, whom wasn’t the right answer.</p>

<p>Dang it. -_- Also @masta, I think I put “whom” for the first who/whom question and “who” for the other one.</p>

<p>For the “whom” question:</p>

<p>The sentence was structured in the passive voice (I’m not sure of the context of the question), so the underlined portion of the sentence was the SUBJECT of the sentence and therefore “who” is the right answer.</p>

<p>lol i put no whoms at all…and I have a track record of 36’s in English</p>

<p>I think i put that too tennis wait I put intimacy ? Were they the same question?</p>

<p>No whoms. And I also got “have taught” for one of them. What did you guys get for the Monopoly one where it was “celebration of” or “chance to experience”?</p>

<p>I put celebration…</p>

<p>“celebration of” </p>

<p>I don’t think it was right tho.</p>

<p>I also put celebration.</p>

<p>I said experiment, but it was basically a guess</p>

<p>Definitely celebration, after rereading the question it indicated for the most [adjective] that led me to cross out change experience</p>

<p>AROMA: pleasant characteristic odor, as of a plant, spice, or food: the aroma of roses. See Synonyms at fragrance. </p>

<p>So def. aroma.</p>

<p>Also farm SHOULD be kept is what I put because it related to the intimacy she had later on, and she said “where money was the biggest money making issue” or whatever…</p>
