December ACT 2008 Reading

<p>guys about the erraneous data??? </p>

<p>i put that the scholors supported a untrue fact that went on untested or something…</p>

<p>how could it be erraneous data?? the choice was erraneous data about the first floor…erraneous mean not correct…they knew a lot of correct data about the first floor and the scholars thought that that all the floors were just as the first floor so the exiting of the people was fast…but they werent…some were small and people had to crawl…</p>

<p>Indian Music passage</p>

<p>Why does Iyer’s quotation in lined 35-38 (exposed to American music and parents took him to Indian musicals as a kid) suggest?</p>

<p>A He prefers American music over Indian
B He is an expert
C He appreciates Indian musc but doesn’t fully understand it
D I forgot</p>

<p>I chose C</p>

<p>^That’s what I thought too…but then later I switched it to b. Cause it said he couldn’t pretend to be an expert, but I mean, after going hundreds of concerts, wouldn’t he just be and how could he be unsure of it when it’s something he’s so into?</p>

<p>^Yah yatrik, that’s what I put. I don’t think it was erroneous, it was the scientists assumption.</p>

<p>I didn’t put erroneous data, I put B or something. At the time I could swear it was right.</p>

<p>I second yatrik.</p>

<p>It clearly said right after the part about the floors about scholars making the wrong assumptions or something.</p>

<p>Also, it was not his love for his girlfriend, it was marine biology.</p>

<p>I think it was love for his girlfriend. In the passage it was about this guy who videotaped the squid because his girlfriend loved marine biology.</p>

<p>And for the “expert” one the guy said that he’s not an expert because he said to be an expert would require a “lifetime” of experience.</p>

<p>what was the one that was like “[something in italics] was the name for…”
i put giant squid only or something to that equivalent</p>

<p>I agree with hipster. The guy was on an oil boat and he brought a video camera because his girlfriend loved marine biology and he unintentionally taped the squid. I skimmed most of the English readings but it’s weird I can remember almost every detail of the reading.</p>

<p>Architeuthis you mean? I reread that thing like 5 times lol… I chose giant squid only.</p>

<p>what were the other choices for the love question? i think i put squid =/ poo</p>

<p>the love question - love for GF. I am 100% sure on this.</p>

<p>the architeuthis was giant squid only</p>

<p>wow… got everything right so far… how many questions have we discussed? Anyone remember anything else?</p>

<p>I don’t remember ‘‘erroneous data’’ as an answer. I’m not sure if this is the same question, but I chose ‘‘Scientists assumed something without studying it further’’. I know 100% this was a right answer for one of the questions; it was stated in the passage.</p>

<p>Colosseum passage</p>

<p>the question mentioned the Assyrian and Saturn Temple. Was the answer that both had construction done them after they were built?</p>

<p>What about the one that said: Which of the following were mentioned first?</p>

<p>A) Bombay…
B)…
C) London after jazz was created
D)…</p>

<p>I put C 10 char</p>

<p>^uhh I don’t think so rjacob… I don’t remember the answer choices, but I certainly didn’t put that down</p>

<p>For the two temples I put that both are being re-inspected by 3D technology. For the one alebeau asked, I put that London after jazz was created or something (something about it appearing in London first)</p>

<p>Yeah I put C too because that happened in the 60’s</p>

<p>Wasn’t the London part in like 3rd paragraph? In that case I don’t think it was right.</p>

<p>It was in the third paragraph. First the author talked about Bombay’s creation at 2004, then he delved back into the origins.</p>

<p>Yeah, but they said CHRONOLOGY. Not by the order the ideas were mentioned.</p>
