February ACT Reading Discussion

<p>That's not a question that you would infer on
It was asking about the paragraph as a whole and what could be inferred from the paragraph</p>

<p>anyone remember the LAST TWO questions of the humanities section??</p>

<p>Sorry Twaan I can't. Does anyone remember the first humanities question about structure?</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>Unfortunately, you were torn between two incorrect answers. The narrator never questioned the value of music.</p>

<p>Dragonforce, the passage never explicitly stated, "The repairs were driven by a need to increase production." The passage said that repairs were made, and that an emphasis was placed on production; therefore, it can be inferred that repairs were made primarily to drive production. Also, the repairs didn't cause the injuries--the mill was a dangerous place to work, which caused injuries. People may have been injured during repairs, but the injuries were caused by the fact that the workplace was dangerous and involved complex machinery, not by the repairs themselves.</p>

<p>so wat is the correct answer to the structure of the passage??</p>

<p>I don't remember what my answer was, but neither of the answers that doctor92 was torn between were correct.</p>

<p>Grr, and I knew both of them were wrong, but for some reason the other two seemed ridiculous.</p>

<p>Did you read the entire passage? I can see how the other two answers would have seemed ridiculous if you didn't. I'm fairly sure the other two answers were about memories being spliced together. In fact, I think that one of them was that the passage was about memories being spliced together as some sort of self-protection mechanism, and the other was that the passage was about memories being spliced together to create a more vivid or representative memory (which was the right answer).</p>

<p>Wasn't that for another question? I remember putting that for an answer, but not that one(and I did read the whole passage). Now I am really frustrated with my carelessness.</p>

<p>Perhaps. I don't remember.</p>

<p>Yeah, neither answer that doctor92 is torn between is right. </p>

<p>And I completely agree that the passage stated that emphasis was placed on production. The answer for that question was obvious to me.</p>

<p>What was the answer to the question about how the girl whose parents sing reacts after she finds out that her father wasn't home that day and the memory was an amalgam of memories?</p>

<p>I put good natured acceptance because the girl starts to talk about how many different memories can merge into a single memory and her tone was cordial and accepting.</p>

<p>what about the one in the mussel reading.i think it said something about what the third paragraph was trying to say?it came down to metaphor between spaghetti and the glue or the process he uses</p>

<p>to maatheew: Do you by chance remember any of the other choiceS?</p>

<p>to dbm4: i think it came down to a simile using spaghetti as one choice and an analogy of the process of making glue or something in that vicinity.</p>

<p>does anyone remember what they put for the girls reaction when her mother says "It didn't happen that way"</p>

<p>the choices were like delighted surprise, contempt, indifference or something like that</p>

<p>i think that question was asking about an entire paragraph and asked..without this paragraph, the passage would mostly lose ____. does that sound right?</p>

<p>i was choosing between those two answers as well...and i think i ended up putting the spaghetti metaphor..because about 3/4 of the paragraph was describing the metaphor..but both made some sense, because the metaphor was ABOUT the process. ah!</p>

<p>Coltssbowl- i think the answer was pleasant acceptance or something along those lines..</p>

<p>When I take the reading test, I always skip the first passage (prose fiction). I only take my time on the three remaining passages. I feel really good about these last three passages, and I guessed on the first ten questions. I usually get about a 25-27 on the reading everytime. I guessed "B" on the first ten. Was this a good choice?</p>
