June 2009 ACT English Discussion

<p>@mabsjenbu
same here. i initially put the laughter one but had second thought on that, because “suprised” doesnt sound too friendly to me, not as much as “wonderfully familiar”</p>

<p>@amiller</p>

<p>I debated that for a long time and the original used words like “wonderfully” so I thought it was better than “surprised”</p>

<p>sooo a few questions :</p>

<p>for the general (name) blah blah…no commas at all?
for luigi when the boy talks about him in a nice, positive way…would it be PUrring softly
for the way the stars look now…is it –>three stars are all in a line</p>

<p>Ya i mixed the laughter and familiar but yes it was no change</p>

<p>various prestigious awards right?</p>

<p>So it was purrs softly? Awesome. I was so unsure of that answer.</p>

<p>I, too, put various prestigious awards</p>

<p>That one about purrs softly… I had no idea. I think I put no change?</p>

<p>@dance2nite</p>

<p>isnt the original “blah slowly”?
slowly isn’t much of a positive word</p>

<p>i kept wonderfully familiar i think i said no change. its the only one that shows that even though they kept in touch they were still like the same cuz remember the “slipped into their normal habis” so doesnt familar go along with that?</p>

<p>@hardworker</p>

<p>you reminded me of the “slipped into their habits” one
did u keep it?</p>

<p>yes (10 char)</p>

<p>There were two who vs. whom questions. </p>

<p>One was about the subway. I said whom. The other was about that one woman with the best friend in Alaska, and I said who for that one.</p>

<p>Anyone sure?</p>

<p>what about the General guy wiht no commas before or after his name? </p>

<p>and also can someone tell me about the hyphen one? i dont remmber it at all</p>

<p>and did you guys get a colon for one of them? do you remmeber which one?</p>

<p>yeah there was a colon for one for sure…cnat remember which though</p>

<p>@mango - yes i kept it at slipped into</p>

<p>the other ones seemed somewhat awkward or had wrong meanings…</p>

<p>christiansoldier, I also put whom on one, then who on the next.</p>

<p>I put who for both, because the first one was refering to people so i asked who was skeptical about the subway? and it was he not him so i put who.</p>

<p>For the chair one, I think I put proceeds safely. I thought safely was a compliment. :? But, I really wasn’t sure.</p>

<p>For the who/whom’s it was for sure one who and one whom.</p>

<p>The chair one i said “purrs softly”, because the subject was the “motor” rather than the “chair” and the directions asked for a “response showing fond toward the chair”. I could be wrong of course</p>

<p>Did the subway make it so there was less traffic jams by “traveling underground” or “more efficient?” I put more efficient because they already had a subway which I assumed traveled underground.</p>
