<p>Agreed @Soccer</p>
<p>@soccer…???</p>
<p>Gotta get in shape was to explain to kids the eagerness about treats?</p>
<p>He was trying to open his sweet shop so he needed to know if they tasted good?</p>
<p>The awnser to the sweets question was not about his physical shape… In the passage it even said that he was worried about the “fried dough balls” or whatever and the kids told him that the balls were good. He did not care about his personal weight there is no doubt in my mind it was about the food. The passage even said he was worried about the food, no where did it mention his weight. The girl even said that is why he was giving them the food.</p>

<p>This is undoubtably the right awnser… I would be willing to bet my 36 on it…</p>
<p>“Gotta get in shape” seems like something you would say to yourself, not to someone else.</p>
<p>yeah, i didn’t think he was being literal about it. he’s a storyteller AND a sweet shop owner…</p>
<p>He was metaphorically talking about his cooking. The girl said she didn’t know why her dad was giving her so many sweets. It was because he was opening the store and he wanted to know how the treats tasted. Believe me guys that was the right awnser.</p>
<p>Oh fine then ^.</p>
<p>Gotta get in shape was certainly about the father preparing sweets (he also said he was a little rusty)</p>
<p>I’m not sure why someone like NewAccount who is acting so confident about his supposed 36 would choose an answer completely unrelated to the rest of the passage, like the father’s weight</p>
<p>do we get QAS for ACT? Im new to all this stuff.</p>
<p>I seriously think that because it was after “I’m a bit rusty”, that I think he was talking about his story telling…since he was talking about that in the first passage, maybe that was another question though? I don’t know.</p>
<p>
orlly? You think they would perchance base an answer off the way it “seems” to you?</p>
<p>I mean I really doubt he was trying to get in shape. That seems completely irrelevant and never mentioned in the passage. </p>
<p>As for the other debates, I put Edison wanted to seem like the average worker because he punched his card just like everyone else. Nowhere does it mention that he somehow protested the long industrial hours.</p>
<p>Thank you ny0000… NewAccount, don’t get to cocky, the curve on this test is going to horrid to say the least. I need a 36 on this reading to make up for my science (probably got a 28 on science god I hate this section)</p>
<p>I fail to see how it was unrelated when the passage mentioned his cooking and food and him referring to himself as rusty and needing to get into shape. I stand by my original answer.</p>
<p>So he was telling his kids that they had to get in shape by eating sweets? Is this meant humorously? If so, I missed it because I took this passage too seriously.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Dude, we’re just discussing possibilities, chill…</p>
<p>so is the answer saying the father wanted an excuse wrong?</p>
<p>wasnt it something like he was feeding his children treats to “get in shape” for the restaurant opening? idk the exact wording…like he was testing them i guess…</p>
<p>Nowhere does it mention that he somehow protested the long industrial hours.</p>
<p>We never mentioned that. The other option debated was that he “felt burden by the restraints”…What does that have to do with protesting? That was not mentioned. I agree.</p>
<p>hmm i pretty sure he was referring to himself for the sweets question</p>
