June 8th ACT Reading

<p>When was the calorimeter mentioned in the passage?</p>

<p>Yes the barometer was used, I remember circling it</p>

<p>What was the barometer used for again?</p>

<p>@LookingUp8</p>

<p>I meant barometer, not calorimeter. Sorry for the confusion.</p>

<p>atmospheric pressure but i dont remember anything about it, i put speakers because i remember tem saying it doesn’t detect sound waves expicitly</p>

<p>what was the answer for number 40?</p>

<p>I don’t remember, but it was in the first column, so I am guessing the volcano eruption or the 1883 one? (were there barometers in 1883?) #blondemoment</p>

<p>@Preply, the barometric pressure readings WERE used to determine the detection of infrasound waves. It specifically talked about varying pressure readings due to infrasound. Large Speakers in Hawaii were NOT used to detect the waves. It directly compared the waves themselves to large speakers though no large speakers were actually used.</p>

<p>i agree^^^^^</p>

<p>The barometer was unintentionally used in the first ever detection of infrasound waves. The Indonesian volcano made barometer readings all weird, so they knew something happened. Also how would you use a loudspeaker to measure anything?</p>

<p>People who did well on reading: Did you guys read the entire passage before answering questions, read part of it → answer → read part of it → answer, or just go straight to the questions and look for the answers?</p>

<p>also true^</p>

<p>I read it thoroughly as fast as I could, and I luckily finished on time, unlike last time. </p>

<p>How many questions can you miss to get a 30 for this curve? predictions?</p>

<p>Whoops.</p>

<p>That was me not reading the passage and answer choices clearly. Loud speakers, it is.</p>

<p>I read through the passage, then answer questions. Works well for me.</p>

<p>On the train passage, one of the questions asked what was the purpose of the very first paragraph? The option that I remember was that the train ride served as a better experience than the actual opera. It’s not exact wording, but it’s somewhere along those lines. What was the correct answer?</p>

<p>wasn’tt here some about the view. i think i put from the view of the train</p>

<p>Wudufuxup, do you remember any of the other choices?</p>

<p>The answer was literally just “disaproval”</p>

<p>Whenever you see “much to” it probably means something negative.</p>

<p>I think the view was a different question, though. Not completely sure.</p>
