June 2009 ACT English Discussion

<p>^ I put 132. It made sense to me to explain why she was in town before she tried to get in touch with her old friend. </p>

<p>Unless I am mistaken because she got in touch earlier and when she went there for business, she met with her old friend. (321)</p>

<p>I think I had 1,3,2</p>

<p>can anyone confirm the order?</p>

<p>I can’t quite confirm it but I can remember the general lines of what the order said:

  1. I had to travel there for a job.
  2. Even though we haven’t talked to each other for a while, I phoned my friend, and heard a familiar pleasant voice.
  3. Through my parents, who were in contact with his(her?) dad, I found out that he/she lived there.</p>

<p>It was absolutely 1,3,2. that was correct. Did anyone get the one with the “And still other people in Japan…”? I put just “In…”</p>

<p>I put no change, as the rest of the answers assume that all interpretations are the same throughout Japan, which contradicts the previous information given.</p>

<p>Daman,
I put “In” because I thought “and still other people in” was kind of redundant. Who knows?</p>

<p>Anyone here remember the question with three prepositional phrases in one sentence? It was something along the lines of:</p>

<p>atop the rabbit hedge, behind her house, in the field</p>

<p>can somebody confirm the one with japan, “and still in japan…” ???</p>

<p>also for the passage with the stars (and orions belt) …a question said “which answer give the most visual representaion of the stars today” I said the three stars were in a line. </p>

<p>can anyone confirm?</p>

<p>I had both of those answers, for what it’s worth :)</p>

<p>For the one with the prepositional phrases I put</p>

<p>atop the rabbit hedge in the field behind her house.</p>

<p>I thought it made most sense to start with the most specific and then go from there, lol.</p>

<p>@baby
I also said three stars in a line and “In still other parts of Japan. . .”</p>

<p>I don’t know on the three prepositional phrases question. For the question that said something along the lines of “digging trenches”, was that a no change? I figured that it was because the other answer choices were rather lengthy.</p>

<p>i put “digging trenches” for the same reason you did, BAC1</p>

<p>Yes I put digging trenches too</p>

<p>I put the digging trenches as well.</p>

<p>Otherwise the sentence would have ended …and dig. And from the rest of the sentence it sounded like it needed more.</p>

<p>I hate when they ask you questions that have grammatically correct answers but the ACT just wants you to have the same opinion as you. I did some prep classes and the teachers were getting some questions wrong because the answer they put would fit their writing style. It’s way too biased</p>

<p>Did you guys put that one of the answers was days go by quickly or bicycles streak past? I starred this one and came back to it at the end.</p>

<p>I put “bicycles streak past” because later in the sentence the author questions why they – referring to the bikers – are going so fast and not enjoying the outdoors like he is.</p>

<p>I put bicycles streaking past. The author talks about how he doesn’t understand their hurry, which would be the bicyclists.</p>

<p>does anyone remember this question???</p>

<p>it was from the Lugi question</p>

<p>A) I bounced gently along in my padded seat
B) I bounced gently, along in my padded…</p>

<p>^ I remember those two being the only possible choices, so does anyone remember???</p>

<p>THANKKKKSSS!!1</p>

<p>I put the one without any commas.</p>
