June ACT English Section

<p>I am pretty sure I did not leave the colon</p>

<p>@StanfordCS I completely agree that a colon CAN come before a list; however, this is not always the case. This is not one of those cases.</p>

<p>i dont think the colon looks right.</p>

<p>but for the color-blind one, did u guys have a colon for the question about men having only one X chromosome?</p>

<p>WHOOOO senior member! :slight_smile: 1,001 posts baby!!!</p>

<p>From McGraw Hill’s book:</p>

<p>A colon is used before a list or after an independent clause that is followed by information the directly modifies or adds to the clause.</p>

<p>Use colon before a list (example below)</p>

<p>We are required to bring the following items to camp: a sleeping bag, a pillow, an alarm clock, clothes, and personal-care items.</p>

<p><strong><em>Sorry scanner sucks, so I just copied it.</em></strong>*</p>

<p>Yes, in that case the colon is needed. But it says that the colon is used after an independent clause, and “The subjects ranged from” is not an independent clause.</p>

<p>It says OR after an independent clause.</p>

<p>earlier someone said that one of the answers was “complete and whole,” i cant remember the exact question but i think it was actually to “clarify and connect”</p>

<p>Were you guys getting a lot of A’s, because I sure was.</p>

<p>I think that answer was on the Reading section. Complete and whole was on the English.</p>

<p>what was the question for complete and whole?</p>

<p>[LEO:</a> Colon Rules](<a href=“http://leo.stcloudstate.edu/punct/colon.html]LEO:”>http://leo.stcloudstate.edu/punct/colon.html)</p>

<p>Read this. None of these apply to the question that was on the test.</p>

<p>perfect36 i remember clarify and connect too</p>

<p>It was in the English section about the boy going from Delhi to Calcutta, and he felt like 2 people in Calcutta because of the languages spoken, and when he went to Calcutta he felt complete and whole. </p>

<p>It asked what contrasted with what was said to earlier?</p>

<p>@howgoesit12 I am stating what is said in McGraw Hill’s ACT book.</p>

<p>Clarify and connect was on the natural science reading section, about the interstellar thing clarifying and connecting current theories.</p>

<p>it must have been a different question then</p>

<p>noooo. it was he felt confident and whole.</p>

<p>oooh i remember nvm</p>

<p>I think it’s without the colon as well since it wasn’t exactly a list but rather three mini-lists…if that makes sense.</p>

<p>Anyone remember the question in the radio passage that started off like, “To…(guy’s name)…would” or something like that?</p>

<p>oh wow sorry guys i completely mixed up reading and english. yeah i remember that confident and whole question now, it was definitely the right answer. sorry again for confusing</p>
