June 2009 ACT Reading Discussion

<p>no, the answer was not depot
the answer was the thing about the football field being fenced in because they did talk about a depot being there in the past but now it was gone, and the football field had been fenced in</p>

<p>what was the answer to a question in the first passage say “Who was waiting for her at the train station”?</p>

<p>Father
Neighbor
Sister
Jounrnalist
???</p>

<p>and the recurring theme for the train woman was NOT photographs, right? because dreams, train trips, and reunion scenes came up again</p>

<p>Deeds- I got what you got</p>

<p>Chair- That question was just stupid. However, I dont think she ever stated she thought it could b rebuilt. Rather, the only real acceptable answer was like the the community had changed or something.</p>

<p>Ya photos was right and I said journalist but had no real proof.</p>

<p>it was the journalist</p>

<p>i put neighbor. it’s not sister becuase “your dad” would have been her dad as well, and that’s just awkward. and chances her dad can’t say “your dad” because that’s HIM. and though the guy is asking questions, it’s obviously not a journalist b/c no journalist calls their subject “honey”</p>

<p>Not photographs? “the town has NOT genuinely progressed”?</p>

<p>The father was waiting at the train station. He was playing some game with the Porter</p>

<p>It was the father.</p>

<p>Yep I remember it clearly now. The porter said they had been waiting long enough for him to beat her father at 2 games of ____</p>

<p>ok so it’s father??</p>

<p>i put the father too</p>

<p>It was her father obviously. think of ur dad saying this: “think you can beat your old man in a game of porter?”
it was like that</p>

<p>why would the journalist pick her up, beat her dad at cribbage, and call her honey? i said it was a neighbor</p>

<p>matok-the blank was cribbage, wasnt it?</p>

<p>O crap I thought it asked who wasnt waiting for her…CRAP. O well…</p>

<p>No… after leaving the train, she was approached by the porter. A porter:</p>

<p>n.</p>

<ol>
<li>A person employed to carry burdens, especially an attendant who carries travelers’ baggage at a hotel or transportation station.</li>
<li>A railroad employee who waits on passengers in a sleeping car or parlor car.</li>
</ol>

<p>But the answer is still father. And yep, the game was cribbage. I knew it started with a c but couldn’t think if it was chess, checkers, or cribbage</p>

<p>The father never talked. But it was assumed he was there. Because the mother asked the daughter if it had been a long ride. The daughter replied “yes” and “did you wait long?” Then the mother said “long enough to beat your dad at cribbage.” Therefore the father was there.</p>

<p>wait was cribbage an answer to a question?!?</p>

<p>no lol…</p>
