June ACT English Section

<p>For the question (in the radio essay) dealing with whether the author should add a statement, I put no because it wasnt important that it was a sports broadcast (or something like that). To me, it seemed like the essay was focusing on the radio rather the sporting event…</p>

<p>What to y’all think?</p>

<p>Oh, I didn’t even notice that OMIT was an option on the Hindi one. Oops :S</p>

<p>but google doesn’t think reduced-sized grammatically exists…</p>

<p>salsa penguin- I put no as well, but I think I put the other no. What was the other no?</p>

<p>zach- it wasn’t in its standard, capital letter “OMIT” I think it said something like “delete this underlined portion”. I remember it especially because I was thinking that the ACT was being overly sneaky lol.</p>

<p>^ I put no because it wasn’t relevant (or something like that), the other “no” option.</p>

<p>Did the paragraph end with them shouting in Bengali? Or was it no change for memories? I thought Bengali was only part of the story, so I just put no change.</p>

<p>Also I put teeny tiny as the answer. It sounded very odd. And was it whole person?</p>

<p>How is reduced-sized not a word? Small-sized is a word, as in “the smaller-sized version,” so replacing reduced (adj) with small (adj) doesn’t make it not a word anymore.</p>

<p>I put the other no option too then.</p>

<p>The paragraph in Bengali, I picked the ending abt memories because it asked for something that tied it back to the main idea and the intro paragraph.</p>

<p>I’ve heard reduced-sized used before. teeny tiny just didn’t fit. just like if they had, as I pointed out before, the word “miniscule” as an option, I would have picked miniscule as the wrong answer.</p>

<p>it was teeny tiny because the sentence would have said something like teeny tiny drawings on the paper(like microscopic) …it was the only one that didnt address scale.</p>

<p>@zach
it was the double -ed
reduced-size would have been OK
but reduced-sized is like trying to say smallered-sized
teeny-tiny was bad but reduced-sized was worse</p>

<p>Teeny tiny is akin to microscopic as people have mentioned, the models were definitely not microscopic, therefore, teeny tiny is out.</p>

<p>I picked memories on the last question about the Bengali, because it tied back to the intro and made full circle pretty much regardless of language.</p>

<p>argenia- maybe you’re right in that sense. I’m still not sure though. teeny tiny just sounds off in meaning though. Idk.</p>

<p>No, the double -ed doesn’t matter since reduced is a participle (adjective) just like small or smaller. You would say that the model had a reduced size (a small size), but when describing it you would say it was a reduced-sized model (a small-sized model).</p>

<p>oh ****
crap
I over-thought again :(</p>

<p>^ oh, then I still hod the position that teeny-tiny is the wrong one.</p>

<p>I definitely could understand “reduced-size sketches” but I’ve never actually seen “reduced-sized” in any sort of literature. Oh well.</p>

<p>does the essay affect the english score??</p>

<p>I put “reduced-sized” cuz i thought it would be “size-reduced” instead… idk… i just felt that it sounded weird.</p>

<p>@ZACH12</p>

<p>WIN!!! </p>

<p>Fully explained the english “teeny - tiny” problem <- You owned it :D</p>

<p>@ Vapperss</p>

<p>The essay doesn’t affect the Composite score, but it does combine with the English score in a separate English/Writing score (basically, only the English score affects your composite).</p>
