Oct 27-English

<p>the question about what the girls wanted i think was just a good story. I dont remember what the exact answer was, but it had something to do with being entertained by the books.</p>

<p>and that one answer was "It had gone out of style".
went out of style (not "had went", but "went") would work as a stand alone, but it did not work in this sentence because "went" was not consistent, or even grammatically correct at all, with the first verb in the sentence.</p>

<p>That sounds right BigTwix - that answer was driving me nuts. I knew it was wrong after the test ended, and I didn't have time to go back and edit it :( I had it narrowed down to those two.</p>

<p>the answer to the girls question was no change 100% sure. Also, did you guys get 1-2 No's for the passage as a whole questions or all Yes's?</p>

<p>the magician was a yes, i remember that 1. Cause it basically said how he was able to use his skills as a magician to pioneer work in special effects.</p>

<p>I could answer the other 1s probably if someone could remind me what the questions were. and maybe some of the answers too. But there was only 1 question on the whole english that i had to guess on, and it was only between 2 answers.</p>

<p>i sent u a message with my screen name.
not postin it here cause its my email</p>

<p>"had began" "had begun" anyone remember that one?</p>

<p>had begun.</p>

<p>nice, thanks.</p>

<p>i have a few questions:</p>

<p>what was the answer to the sentence placement of "by then my son's face glowed" in the Miami indian passage? and then there was another sentence placement conflict in the magician passage. it was the second paragraph and the sentence was, "however, he realized that the audience preferred live magic over filmed ones." for both, i said that the sentences were fine where it was...but idk.</p>

<p>also, for the mars passage...was the addition of a sentence that was something like "mars will be a source or mystery" necessary? i put yes, but i'd like to hear your answers.</p>

<p>"By then my son's face glowed": i put that it was at the end of the passage. i cant remember if it was after sentence 4 or where it was now</p>

<p>Magician sentence: i put that it was at the end as well. didn't it begin with something like "undaunted...."</p>

<p>yeah i think the next paragraph began with "undaunted."</p>

<p>wait what? lol what did you put for those artstar?</p>

<p>Anyone remember the ones on the Nacy Drew one
1)Most specific number of book...I put hundreds
2) something about her being retired tot he dusty back room of the library. I pondered over this one for a long time. It was either had been retired or just retired, I went with jsut retired, but I wanna see what you guys say before I give my reasoning, and I need to try to remember the exact question. I think I did it though because had been was already in the sentence and it was redundant or something, can't remember. Anyone remember these?</p>

<p>hundreds and just retired... because its more concise</p>

<p>1) I put hundreds, as well.
2) I put "would have been retired" because I thought it was a parallelism question. Before this statement was a "would" something statement.</p>

<p>what did you guys get for the question that asked about what the grandma does in her Miami time. I put something like making jam and doing research...</p>

<p>i also put making jam and whatever else</p>

<p>it was the most detailed answer in showing what she liked to do</p>

<p>i thought the ACT people liked concise statements, so I thought there was redundancy as well.... im not sure though</p>

<p>pccool where did you take the test? your from MN right?</p>
