December 2010 ACT Reading Discussion

<p>It was the mongoose.</p>

<p>the animal one was the mongoose, and for the WPA I said it was started by a small group of individuals in the 1920’s because at least there was a mention of that? idk</p>

<p>i believe it was mongoose.</p>

<p>And i think it was broad base of support b/c didn’t everybody like spread out over U.S.A and write stories or something like that?</p>

<p>What did the word social experiment most closely mean?</p>

<p>referred to the WPA so the creation of a program to spread welfare or something? and it never mentioned a broad base, in fact it specifically mentioned a few men and women I think</p>

<p>

[Colleges</a> that super score ACT | College Admissions Counseling](<a href=“http://www.collegeadmissionspartners.com/college-testing/colleges-superscore-act/]Colleges”>Colleges that superscore the ACT - BS/MD Admissions by College Admissions Partners)</p>

<p>Several of those top colleges superscore the ACT but do not recalculate the composite, so in effect, it means nothing anyway.</p>

<p>The second part was not subjective either. By definition the population of superscored 35s and 35s is greater than the population of 35s in one sitting. It doesn’t require a high one sitting to super score a 35. A 34 at non-superscoring school would likely be better.</p>

<p>Quote from ACT’s website:

</p>

<p>That’s pretty high for a 1 point superscore.</p>

<p>the social experiment, I put something like it helped the unemployed get jobs</p>

<p>I think I put the broader base thing too I think. And I debated the social experiment thing for a while but I remember one of the choices was something about bringing the employment and morale up of the people… but i’m not sure I put that</p>

<p>

Yep, this was the reasoning that I had.</p>

<p>You guys can ask me for any other Reading questions apart from the “broader base” one. I’m pretty sure I got them all. :)</p>

<p>Social experiment - I put that it meant something about reviving morale or something.
The 2nd sentence or so in the first paragraph mentioned something about that.
I don’t remember the exact quote though :p</p>

<p>It was definitely the mongoose - the mongoose ate the rats or whatever. Something kinky like that. ;)</p>

<p>IT was to bring up the morale and fortunes of the people. That was the answer. I am positive.</p>

<p>ACT, What was the photography one? What did the author comment on it by comparing that to the Viwaleaman guy or whatever?</p>

<p>Okay, so is the question about the Harlem renaissance that it had a broader base of support? because I thought the passage said after the harlem renaissance was already started, the actual renaissance was larger than originally thought</p>

<p>Wong, that was a tough one. I said it was a mix of fact, error and fiction (or something like that).</p>

<p>I’m almost certain it WAS broader base.</p>

<p>@Wong, I think I put something about distortion of reality or something? I was probably wrong. I felt like it was a tough reading test :/</p>

<p>wow thats exactly how many i had left too… Sad day</p>

<p>I remember something on the photography one that real life is somewhat a delusion or fictitious or something and that paintings provide insight or something like that?</p>

<p>For the photography, I said it ignored reality to portray an artistic vision but idk.
and ****t, I had broader base then doubted myself</p>

<p>I think it’s def. narrator because it said who seemed like they created most of the dance. tHe narrator created the bird dance “invented”, so narrator?</p>
