<p>I really think it was the second one. Edison would not want “to appear” to be average. He was “equally as” average. There was nothing superficial about what was expressed in the passage. I agree with you ocarinzee.</p>
<p>^I put what ivysaur and ocarinzee put.
it was the one with “he felt burdened with the restraints like the other workers…” because in the parenthetical notation, it said “he punched the clock like everyone else”.
There was nothing in the passage that supported Edison “wanted to appear average”</p>
<p>you guys should compile a list of answers for each passage</p>
<p>yeah but the second choice implied that edison was like an ACTUAL worker. the way it was worded…it almost made it seem that he had to deal with a boss and lack of workers rights and not having a union and stuff like that. the first one made so much more sense in context of the whole essay as opposed to the single line.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure it was the one about him wanting to appear average. Given that the man ran his own shop there wouldn’t be any practical reason for him to need a punch clock, except that he wanted to project an image of normality.</p>
<p>@Photographer, I can already tell you that your line of thought was too complicated for a simple question on the ACT; lol, sorry.</p>
<p>i didn’t choose the first one just because it said that he “wanted.” i thought it sounded strange.</p>
<p>maybe photographer was right. Maybe he did. BUT NOTHING IN the PASSAGE SUGGESTED. All the PASSAGE SAID WAS THAT HE WAS hard working, perseverant, etc. But nothing he said he WANTED to project that image. It would make more sense to say that he was burdened by all those restraints, which made him look like the average workers.</p>
<p>i didn’t choose the first one just because it said that he “wanted.” i thought it sounded strange. </p>
<p>The same reason i didn’t choose the first one. Why would EDISON want to project an image of normality? MAybe there was a reason but it was never mentioned</p>
<p>I debated between the first and the second one for a while, but ultimately put the first. I don’t remember why, but in the end I was fully convinced that it was the first one.</p>
<p>For the Providence Fire one – the point of the last paragraph: to transport people to another place/time or the effect/hold it has on people?</p>
<p>I picked the latter, hesitantly.</p>
<p>^I picked that one too.</p>
<p>I thought it was the sensory effect. For the Providence fire one.</p>

<p>why were you fully convinced?</p>
<p>I thought it was the sensory effect. For the Providence fire one. </p>
<p>that was a different question. But yes, that was another answer as well.</p>
<p>Sensory effect was the answer to one of the Fire questions, but that question did not pertain to the last paragraph. That was the first paragraph.</p>
<p>for the first paragraph i put sensory and the last paragraph i put effect</p>
<p>it was that it like had them entranced and stuff…so the hold answer is right. it was the only one relevant to the paragraph they told us to look at</p>
<p>^are you a junior or sophmore? (or freshmen or senior?lol)</p>
<p>One of the questions asked about how the effect of the last paragraph. I put it had a lasting effect(The only other answer that made sense was uniting the city, the other two were obviously wrong)</p>
<p>Then there was another question about the effect of a certain quote, and a said to provide a sensory effect.</p>
<p>I think some people are getting them mixed up</p>
