June ACT Reading Section

<p>i feel like every ACT humanities passage involves jazz.</p>

<p>See I put the one about he didn’t even look like he was about to perform…</p>

<p>I put “He belonged in a different time period”
And yes, I feel the same way liv4physicz.</p>

<p>was appearance another answer in the role models question?</p>

<p>LOLLLLLLL Dude, the people who made the ACT are hilarious. One of the (wrong) answers said something, for real. The first question! lol. I was writing ‘for real’ all over my test booklet. And one of the selection was like something, YOU KNOW, something. YOU KNOW. YOU KNOW. Maybe I’m just a weird one and only caught that. O.o;</p>

<p>@ Lullies</p>

<p>lol Yeah, I did notice that.</p>

<p>^^^ yeah and its actually what I put. i didn’t see them saying anything about appearance but I saw that he remembered that the kids used to call him Stumpy. i thought that that must have been some reference to a character (a role-model) that I didn’t get but now I think they might have been talking about his arm or something like he only has a stump for an arm which would be appearance.</p>

<p>They were talking about his arm because it also said something about taking his glove off and there being a nub or something like that.</p>

<p>does anyone remember the answers to the last 3 questions and if any of them (if not all of them) were choice B?</p>

<p>I recall something about the accomplice being named Patchy/Pudgy/something with a “p”. Anyway, when it asked about the cop’s changing views in one paragraph, I put guarded -> curious. Did anyone else put this?</p>

<p>Exact same answers as you, seancarpenter, except I don’t remember the context of “Why exactly the author enjoyed his performance”</p>

<p>@Lullies Haha, i caught that too.</p>

<p>Do you guys remember what you put for the last 2 qusetions for reading? I had to guess on the last 2 so i put B for the last one…</p>

<p>i dont think its guarded -> curious…
not sure exactly what i put though. does anyone remember the answer options?</p>

<p>im pretty sure the answer was role models. nowhere did it talk about his role models. the arm stump, i think, constitutes appearance.</p>

<p>Could somebody refresh my memory? What were the other choices alongside "
-He used to have popularity but now he doesn’t" for the jazz passage?</p>

<p>I remember the only two reasonable answers being critical -> reluctant acceptance and guarded -> (open?) curiosity. The question asked how the cop’s attitude toward his new helper had changed in a certain paragraph. It seems the general consensus here is with critical -> reluctant acceptance. Here’s why I chose guarded -> curiosity.</p>

<p>Before that paragraph, the cop “shoots him a look.” I clearly remember this. The cop also criticized his silly magazine (something that started with an N, I think), not the helper himself. When the cop finally agrees to let him help, he “wishes he hadn’t” right afterward. I’m positive that the last words of the passage said something about the cop wondering why he did it.</p>

<p>What do you think?</p>

<p>In my view, the cop “[shooting] him a look” is geared toward being critical rather than being guarded because the cop wasn’t looking at him with distrust; it was more along the lines of scrutinizing him and checking him out, for a lack of a better phrase. The magazine was criticized (obviously points to critical). The phrase “wishes he hadn’t” indicates that he was regretful after agreeing, which should direct your attention to “reluctant acceptance”. Clearly, the cop did not want to work with/hire the helper, but after seeing as how others laughed at him, he pitied him and invited him to help him out. </p>

<p>That’s what I thought about the passage.</p>

<p>did the last 4 happen to be A B C D? because the proctor in my room was talking to another proctor and they whispered and laughed for like 7 minutes and it made the jazz story really really slow and i ran out of time and had to guess the last 4.</p>

<p>woulda been better to guess all one letter</p>
