December 2010 ACT Reading Discussion

<p>

</p>

<p>That was a different question, but that’s what I put. I’m talking about the photography one.</p>

<p>I also put broader base, but I forget what I put for the photography one. I just remember I was disgusted by the choices since none of them were really substantiated by the text.</p>

<p>And yeah, I put invented</p>

<p>The passage read like this paraphrased
“not until photo’s was their pictures as accurate as random dutch artists.”
So the gist of the answer i put was:
He had an above average attention to detail.</p>

<p>Also I don’t think it’s morale. I looked for evidence of that over and over again, it mentioned happiness. Didn’t it seemed like it referred to experimenting a program that might be “temporary.”?</p>

<p>

It said “majority”, so the answer was “passed down from generations”.

Oh, then I don’t know.</p>

<p>shawn, but it was talking about in last paragraph, how everything distorts reality or something.</p>

<p>FROM THE PASSAGE, there is no indication that the previous generations creted the rest FROM THE PASSAGE about the dance. right?</p>

<p>Yes there is, its just near the beginning. like third paragraph or something.
and the WPA one was to raise morale and create paychecks/employ people</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>It talked about the spirit, which relates to morale.</p>

<p>

You’re confusing the question. It asked where “the majority of the Midnight (or whatever) group” got their dances, not just the dance that the narrator invented. The answer was definitely “passed down through generations”.</p>

<p>The passage stated (second paragraph?) that the main char couldn’t remember learning a new song or dance because they were all traditional and passed down.</p>

<p>What where some of the tree ones? anyone?</p>

<p>BTW what happened first did she get the piece of clothing or perform in front of the president?</p>

<p>i put get the piece of clothing.</p>

<p>I did so horrible on this section… I don’t even want to see all the correct answers.</p>

<p>^What the? I put eagle at beach house, this was probabaly wrong, though.</p>

<p>

Yeah, parka was the right answer.</p>

<p>Wasn’t the dance thing right? It said it happened many years ago.</p>

<p>what was the piece of clothing question?</p>

<p>@yale: No, it said she had performed for the president many years ago. She must have gotten the parka before performing.</p>

<p>Some other answers I remember: trimmed= embellished, compounded= increased, hedge= defense.</p>

<p>Parka first is right. The trimmed is adorned or embellished or something like that.</p>
