June 8th ACT Reading

<p>^were not afraid of heights</p>

<p>I thought the void ment it was empty seats. The passage mentioned that it was during times of hardship and money was scarce. Since closer seats generally cost more, I inferred it was the empty seats that were the void. Anyone agree?</p>

<p>The answer “they were so high up” kind of goes along with the answer I just posted but I believe my answer has more support to it</p>

<p>“Dizzying void” is far too dramatic to describe a bunch of empty seats.</p>

<p>Why woud they be “careful” not to look down? I said afraid of heights</p>

<p>If they weren’t afraid of heights, they wouldn’t have to be careful about looking down</p>

<p>The answer was unquestionably the vast height of their seats. It was a dizzying void due to the immense altitude. That question wasn’t even somewhat difficult. Nothing in the passage whatsoever supported fear of heights.</p>

<p>My intention isn’t to brave though I think it is worth noting that I scored a 35 in reading on my previous ACT. I don’t even remember “careful” being in the question. The question went something along the lines of, “Why did Mr. Hosowaka and his father consider the look below a ‘dizzying void’”.</p>

<p>I think that’s right.</p>

<p>@CHS2014189 In the text it said something along the lines of, “they climbed the long stair case and moved there wait through the row of seats, careful not to look down into the dizzying void”</p>

<p>But there was nothing in the passage indicating fear of heights in the passage. Anyone would be careful and a little frightened at being so high up, but that doesn’t mean everyone is directly afraid of heights.</p>

<p>I’m sorry but “careful not to look into the dizzying void” does NOT imply fear of heights whatsoever.</p>

<p>I agree with CHS2014189… I am certain the “dizzying void” referred to their high seating, NOT a fear of heights. There was no mention whatsoever about fear; in fact, it was quite the opposite. I interpreted the “careful not to look into the dizzying void” as if they looked down (from their very high up position) they would get dizzy, not fearful. Dizzy and afraid are not the same thing.</p>

<p>What were the answer choices to “what would her mother agree with”</p>

<p>and what were some uncovered question in the last passage about sound?</p>

<p>@Everyone</p>

<p>The passage about the woman and her mother never explicitly mentioned anything having to do with “her mother wanting a better life for her daughter.” I forgot the other answers, but her mother wanting a better life was definitely not correct.</p>

<p>It had nothing to do with her mother wanting her daughter to have a better life. I don’t even know what the question all of you are referring to, but the mother was content with her life. She was teaching her daughter how to have a good life, but the mother still thought her life was perfectly good.</p>

<p>The answer to that one was that the mother agrees with occasionally disconnecting from her past</p>

<p>@imadropout, I agree. That’s what I put.</p>

<p>I might have put that answer as well. I honestly don’t know anymore. I am expecting my lowest possible score to be a 27 overall. Also, I creating the reading and English thread was probably a mistake. I am so worked up about my score, and I am consistently checking the forums for the right answers.</p>

<p>Don’t worry. All of these posts are simply educated guesses, therefore there’s really no use worrying about it at this point. Also, the ACT is simply a number. Most colleges look much closer at GPA, extracurriculars, essays, and teacher recommendations. And remember: this test was definitely difficult in comparison to previous tests. I am expecting a sizable curve, especially on math and reading. Go enjoy summer! :)</p>
