June 2009 ACT Reading Discussion

<p>lol ya I remember the paragraph and it talked about the eels cycle in fresh water—how the eel would travel down the brimy estuaries (where fresh and salt water met), would inately know when to stop moving, live for a time period, eat ALOT (gain 20 lbs), and then leave.</p>

<p>I do not believe your answer that forest stuff could b worked on other than in the amazon was right…wat were the other choices?</p>

<p>What are the questions to “Observe” and “Journey up river”??</p>

<p>gaping holes is familar</p>

<p>does any of this seem familiar
girl on train passage: misses new home, to get married, go to a funeral</p>

<p>I think I remember a reading question which involved a fraction (like 2/3 or something)… Am I imagining this?</p>

<p>Something along the lines of:
Question: What does word “read” mean in this context?
Answer: Observe</p>

<p>Question: The third paragraph (lines 21-26)'s main idea is
Answer: Journey up the river</p>

<p>Question to observe was along the lines of “What does the word ‘read’ mean in line ___” and it said the scientists read the slide under the microscope. answer=observe</p>

<p>2/3 is right. 30 million is taken down, 20million is wasted. 2/3 is wasted</p>

<p>@Azn</p>

<p>I put predict</p>

<p>@Charlie Brown
It was either that or on science. But I remember the passage said 30 million and the question asked for 20 million. (My answer: 2/3)</p>

<p>Yeah, that was it AznKnight17!</p>

<p>wait wasnt the answer to the main idea of the 3rd paragraph- river life cycle not traveling up the river</p>

<p>what letter was observe A? F?</p>

<p>rt. it said “maybe this work could be done in other parts of the amazon” i remember it. someone should find the passages</p>

<p>i do remember a fraction it was for the amazon 20 million wasted out of 30 million trees</p>

<p>wat the hell is commonly known as i forget that</p>

<p>Why was it observe and not predict? I thought the scientists were predicting the ages of the eels.</p>

<p>tb-</p>

<p>wat were the other answer choices for that question</p>

<p>mabsjenbu-
no. they were observing the growth of the eels</p>
