English Feb 7 ACT

<p>■■■■ got -1 in december english but i alrdy got like -3ish</p>

<p>If you’re talking about the question I think you’re talking about, the subject of the sentence was the product, not the company. But I distinctly remember a question with a couple of trick answers, one of which was “its”. I call it a trick answer because a lot of people probably saw it and went, “Ah, that’s right, its doesn’t have an apostrophe!” But its wasn’t the right answer.</p>

<p>Edit: Yeah, the answer was “the”. “Their” and “its” were both distractors. Very clever question.</p>

<p>yeah i put the product.</p>

<p>i don’t remember if this was on english or reading but the one where the girl went into the castle was it SQUEEZED?</p>

<p>It was squeezed, because it said to find a word that would point out the differences in their size or something.</p>

<p>i put “too” as well
the sentence was about some box</p>

<p>it was english, and i put squeezed also.</p>

<p>If anyone wants to know what the answer to a specific question was, and they remember it well enough to ask, I will answer. I’m 99.99% sure I got every question right.</p>

<p>yeah what about that problem in the mistletoe article… it was near the beginning and it was worded like “The leaves have spiky leaves, though. A parasite, mistletoe is seen as a problem”</p>

<p>ok i really paraphrased that but I just put No Change for that one, leaving it saying “leaves, though.”</p>

<p>right?</p>

<p>Oh, right, where the other answers wanted you to splice the sentences together. I remember that there was a question where the correct answer was to leave it as “something something. A parasite,”…is that what you’re talking about?</p>

<p>Right right… I was just sitting there thinking about it…</p>

<p>Right in the first paragraph…</p>

<p>it was something like ". . . They have conifered leaves, though. A parasite. . . ".</p>

<p>So leaving it as “leaves, though. A parasite…” would be correct? It was just odd that the though was seperated by the comma and then the sentence ended. All the other choices tried to combine the two sentences using commas though, and this also seemed awkward.</p>

<p>did you guys get ‘dense’ for a answer, all the others seemed ridiculous.</p>

<p>^Yes. The “which world would NOT fit” type of questions seemed quite a bit easier this time, although they’re usually easy if you know your vocab :P</p>

<p>yeha i got a 24 last time on the english part but this time id be suprised if i missed more than 5-8</p>

<p>i don’t think i put dense…wat were the other choices</p>

<p>The other choices were stuffed, crammed and something else</p>

<p>wat about that one the parasite prompted the tree…the tree was prompted…something like that</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the very first question on the test? It was something like, “their careers in … ______way” Sorry, I can’t remember which word was in the blank
but I do remember getting down to to answers: “their” or “his or her”. I think I put their in order to keep it consistent with the rest of the sentence but I can never remember that rule for using their vs. his or her.</p>

<p>I vaguely remember that question. The point was that the parasite was the subject of the sentence, iirc.</p>

<p>yup. i put dense. thats comforting!</p>

<p>“Their”. That sentence was about a group of people, not about an anonymous member of a group of people.</p>
