English ACT Question Type

<p>I found that I have trouble on questions that are asking what would happen if one were to delete/add a specific line or paragraph and ONES that go like "Suppose a writer wanted the author to write about some topic, would this passage be right for that?" </p>

<p>What strategies do you guys use on these types of questions? Thanks!</p>

<p>Some examples of the delete/add questions are below: </p>

<p>The writer is considering deleting the following phrase
from the preceding sentence (and revising the capitalization
accordingly):</p>

<p>If the writer were to delete this final paragraph from
the essay, which of the following would be lost?</p>

<p>You need to understand the point of the article. What is the writer trying to establish? If you can understand that, then you should be able to decide whether that specific article was right given the question’s intentions.</p>

<p>I feel that sometimes the “because …” reasons following a Yes,/No, are really strange and don’t adequately answer the question. I usually get the Yes/No right, but I personally don’t agree with the reasons, as I see them being out of context of the passage.</p>

<p>80% are NO choice, just see whether the reason is related to the context.</p>

<p>omg I thought I was the only one that had trouble with these. They’re so confusing sometimes. I also really hate the ones that ask you where the author should place this sentence.</p>

<p>Well just because it is related to the context doesn’t necessarily mean it should be put into the sentence? Or is ACT just superficial like that?</p>

<p>Sometimes the reasons they give after the “because” look weird…</p>
