June ACT Reading Section

<p>i said like an “admirer of webster”…</p>

<p>^^ I put that one too.</p>

<p>Pretty sure I put an answer something like their playing didn’t affect him, cause I remember may near the top of the second column talking about how the jazz guy would play his own thing and kinda ignore the other people playing. Really vague, I know, sorry.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yeah I put that, but I’m not sure about it.</p>

<p>Yeah that’s the same one. It was like “admirer of Webster and of jazz”.</p>

<p>^that’s what i said. he seemed unfazed and his talent was just superior. i think that was the point of the passage as a whole.</p>

<p>The main one I’m not sure about was the question where it asked something along the lines of why he enjoyed the guy’s music so much? something like that…I can’t remember but i remember i saved that one for last…</p>

<p>Eh… -2/3 so far. I can’t even remember my answers…</p>

<p>I said the narrator was a caf</p>

<p>I think I put popular because it said he was essentially a relic of jazz history… that’s pretty significant, is it not?</p>

<p>@lacesea I was going to put that but then I decided against it (something else in that answer?)</p>

<p>@mh12325 I was also going to put that but changed my answer to something else… Can’t remember what, though.</p>

<p>Also- another easy answer was in the prose section, where someone said something to Brand but then he just “walked away without responding.”</p>

<p>Oh, I think I’m remembering the question you’re talking about. Talking about the narrator I think two of the answers were he was a cafe patron and the other I’m pretty sure was he was a listener/admirer of jazz music.</p>

<p>I picked admirer/listener of jazz because I remember a section in the first column near the bottom having him talk about jazz in general. Little specific I can remember is the sentence that was also an answer to a previous question, it was like “You have to know the history of jazz in order to play it” then from there it took off discussing a few more general points, maybe someone else remembers.</p>

<p>I thought it was that he was an admirer of jazz and its history since it seemed that was a much more important part about the narrator than his being in a cafe for one paragraph…</p>

<p>“walked away without responding.” - howgoesit, yep, that was directly in the passage :slight_smile: top of the second column on the first page, happened after the pudgy guy said they dont hold mail or whatever.</p>

<p>definitely admirer or webster/listener of jazz. its clear whoever narrated the passage admired webster and his abilities, and understood jazz as well.</p>

<p>and i think the main idea of the prose passage was to allude the the fact that webster was popular at one time, then fleed to amsterdam for fear of racial persecution, and returned 20 years later, unaware of the changing world around him. yet the narrator still appreciates his style. so i think “popular” is correct.</p>

<p>Since we’re talking about reading, do you guys read the passage then q’s, or look at the q’s then find their answers in the passage? I was really struggling on time for this one…</p>

<p>i asked this earlier yesterday but i think it got hidden amongst the other questions, if someone could answer this that would be so much help</p>

<p>do any of you remember what the last four answers to the reading section was…37,38,39,40</p>

<p>i had to guess so i just circled the first four</p>

<p>what were the questions dealing with “milky way growing steadily” and “birth of stars”? also does anyone remember if negative feedback was any of the answers?</p>

<p>i think the milky way was growing steadily (it said something about only 10 stars per century or something)</p>

<p>birth of stars…was that the Q that involved the clouds?</p>

<p>and i dont even rememeber the negative feedback one, lol</p>
