June 2009 ACT English Discussion

<p>I think I put was too.</p>

<p>shouldn’t “i called joelle” go last?</p>

<p>@mango</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the question order</p>

<ol>
<li>I had to go there for work…</li>
<li>I called…</li>
<li>Through…</li>
</ol>

<p>Was that the order originally in the paragraph?</p>

<p>I mango is right.
=/ There goes my score. Bleh.</p>

<p>The question order was :</p>

<ol>
<li>I called</li>
<li>Through</li>
<li>I had to go</li>
</ol>

<p>I think. . . .</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Is that the passage with the women and her best girlfriend?</p>

<p>was there a question that involved 3 separate things connected by and:</p>

<p>“blah and blah and blah”</p>

<p>@Charlie Brown</p>

<p>It was ‘blah and blah and blah’ without any commas, IIRC. (I think the ended the sentence or something.)</p>

<p>@mchammer</p>

<p>So is the answer 321 or 132?</p>

<p>I think Mango is right with the answer being
Through. . .
I had to go there for work
I called Joelle</p>

<p>I keep jumping back and forth, though.</p>

<p>@mc so</p>

<p>132?</p>

<p>what about the question in the prose fiction section (i think?) that went something like </p>

<p>which of the following most clearly states how the narrator feels about his friend after talking on the phone? one of the answers was “her laughter surprised me” or something?</p>

<p>also what about the one about the guy in his wheelchair through nature and one of the asnwers were “days go by quickly” replacing “bicycles streak past”.</p>

<p>ALSO…the question about digging a deep trench. i forget what section it was in. i think i put “no change”?</p>

<p>sorry that im being pretty vague, i can’t remember that clearly haha</p>

<p>ya i’m pretty sure it was 132</p>

<p>@Damon</p>

<p>!. No change (not surprise)
2. I put “Bicycles…”
3. No change</p>

<p>I could be wrong tho</p>

<p>and so for the ordering sentences question, what is the definitive answer? (idk what the original order is)</p>

<p>ya damon1570 it was her laughter wonderfully surprised me and for the wheelchair one i kept the bicycle streak past answer because later it said “I don’t know why they were in such a hurry” or something along that lines, and that wouldn’t have made sense for the other answer choices</p>

<p>yea its supposed to be 132. im pretty sure of that</p>

<p>purrs softly anyone?</p>

<p>@amiller</p>

<p>Why was it “laughter surprised”?</p>

<p>The original (no change) I thought was more friendly sounding</p>

<p>@chair2 i put that one too</p>

<p>pharmaceuticals, medicine, and chemicals. = relevant
depict or something
slipped into
luigi is a chair gives important details
subway 600miles
delete the 30 minute subway statement
at 2 am on oct 24,
<em>were to be </em>was *if it were *if it was
132
purrs softly</p>

<p>You may be right mabsjenbu123, but ya I kept the original for that one as well</p>

<p>and yes chair2 I put purrs softly because all the rest involved traveling, which I believe was mentioned later on in the sentence so they would have been redundant</p>
