<p>I’m still undecided but I did put that it was an example of her work with the Nature Conservancy. Gahh</p>
<p>But I agree that it is unclear</p>
<p>I think it might have meant a few years after she started working with the Tohono… not sure. I probably missed that one</p>
<p>Really not sure</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the options to that question? I remember the question, but don’t remember struggling with it or anything. That probably means I got it right, but I genuinely don’t remember what I put as an answer.</p>
<p>The question was about the main idea of the paragraph I believe. It was like a) to describe House’s work with the nature conservancy b) to talk about bringing the flower back from near extinction c) something stupid that wasn’t right d) to show knowledge of the elders</p>
<p>It showed the knowledge of the elders.</p>
<p>A or D (assuming that you put them in the correct order) are the only two that make sense. </p>
<p>However, both of the answer are lacking. It is possible that she could have been working with the Conservancy at the time, and the paragraph wasn’t explicit about when in her 8 years in the Conservancy she researched the flower. </p>
<p>This paragraph also doesn’t show much of the knowledge of the Elder’s, as he recognized it, but it was found accidentally. If anything, the elder not knowing it wasn’t extinct shows how he lacked knowledge. </p>
<p>It seems like D is the least worst answer. I cannot remember if I put A or D.</p>
<p>I wonder if this one will get curved out</p>
<p>I found parts of the farmer girl passage. weird it’s all separated .

<p>I’d guess ACT tries to find really obscure stuff so there’s very little chance anyone has read it before. And I think they’re pretty successful in that regard…</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the question from the section about infrasonic waves that asked “What was the purpose of the paragraph that included the blowing up of dynamite?” I remember being slightly confused by that.</p>
<p>I don’t remember the answer choices to that one. Does anyone else know them?</p>
<p>I think it to show her work. The passage was literally to show her work.</p>
<p>What was the question that asked something about the sentence concerning finding the flower?</p>
<p>@SgtGutter it proved the flower wasn’t nearly extinct, as scientists had thought.</p>
<p>@Debater</p>
<p>“They knew more about their ecosystem than I did, no matter how much I read,” she said of the tribe. “Elders know the birds, the paths the animals take, the plants. A lot of knowledge you can’t find in a library.”</p>
<p>this is a quote from the passage. I’m not sure how much clearer I can put it!! It clearly talks about the knowledge of the elders. </p>
<p>Also, your assertion “If anything, the elder not knowing it wasn’t extinct shows how he lacked knowledge” makes no sense whatsoever. If the elder doesn’t freaking know that scientists are making false assumptions, then why does that make him unknowledgable? At most, it makes him knowledgable because he knows where the flowers are whilst the scientists have no clue.</p>
<p>Edit: And if anything, A is sorta sketchy because the passage shows little regard for HER contribution to the Conservancy - rather, it shows the contribution of the native elder. It didn’t list any specific details of her work with the Conservancy.</p>
<p>@LookingUp8</p>
<p>I think one of the answers was “to illustrate the uses (or issues, I forgot the wording) of infrasonic waves in actual phenomena” <—pretty sure it used the word phenomena. I’m kind of rambling at this point though.</p>
<p>So was her mother feeling isolated, or looking in past, or doing farm work good?</p>
<p>@kalex</p>
<p>yes I think that’s what I chose. It was like to correspond phenomena with their according infrasonic wave</p>
<p>" During her eight years advising the Nature Conservancy about conservation on Indian lands, Ms. House worked with the Tohono O’odham (the Papago) in southern Arizona, on whose lands grows Kearney’s blue star,"</p>
<p>The topic sentence is about one of her work with the nature conservancy. Everything in the paragraph develops it.</p>
