October 2010 ACT English Thread

<p>^I was supporting your explanation.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I agree, purposefully was not an answer. I also put not unintentionally, but who knows?</p>

<p>EDIT: misunderstanding, yes, the question DID say “purposefully” something along the lines of
“How did the director purposefully deviate from the original movie?”</p>

<p>okay, if the question said the word purposefully then I am an idiot and how have a -1 on English. </p>

<p>@freerhyme: you told me my answer didnt make any sense? lol</p>

<p>^no i said your answer DID make sense. I was talking to the person above you.</p>

<p>Hmm, for the movement one, the first clause of it was talking about “unlike rock climbers” or something like that.</p>

<p>^yes that was it!!!1
Therefore, the answer had to have started with a noun. (i.e. the wood pecker…)</p>

<p>^Right. The noun that precedes the comma after unlike rock climbers has to be what ever rock climbers is, which is a noun. So creature was the thing that had to come after the comma.</p>

<p>I still don’t understand how saying “the creature moves so fast” is correct. Fast is definitely modifying moves, because it is saying how the creature moves. So it should say “the creature moves so quickly”, but that wasn’t a choice. I did put a noun after the first clause, and I said “the movement is so fast”. I don’t know if that is right, but I don’t think keeping the phrase would be correct either.</p>

<p>Umm ok…about the $22 one, you don’t add it, I’m sure because he said the cheapest in portland was $75 dollars. and then he said, you can get hotels for $22 in Portland, his hometown—it was contradicting, right?</p>

<p>Fast can act as an adverb. </p>

<p>No, it was supporting the sentence that followed, it provided a contrast or whatever. So he should keep it within the essay. </p>

<p>ANOTHER ANSWER: I remember for one of the placement questions it asked where should this sentence go and I think I said after sentence 2. since sentence 2 mentioned what that sentence was talking about.</p>

<p>@ tothetop: He said that a hostel in portland was $22. The cheapest hotel in portland was $75.</p>

<p>@wongtongtong I chose ironically also. “Not unintentionally” would mean on purpose…and i don’t remember the passage stating that it was on purpose</p>

<p>^Exactly! I could have swore that the thing didn’t mention purposefully. BUT, my memory probably sucks so…whatever. I can live with a -1 on English.</p>

<p>@ 2011girlll: But didn’t the question say which of the choices would make it seem like it was intended? So it should be not unintentionally.</p>

<p>Dang it!! I read both as hotels!</p>

<p>POP: Well, if you remember what the passage was about, he was trying to say that they were trying to create a movie DIFFERENT from the original galactica movie. so I thought it was ironic how they ended up creating something similar to it. I’m sure they weren’t intentionally trying to do it since they said they werent earlier in the paragraph. </p>

<p>But, I dont remember the verbatim for the question exactly…so Im not sure.</p>

<p>@popupblocker2 I have no idea…I thought the question asked “Was it intended?” but I might be wrong…</p>

<p>You mother*<strong><em>ers are wrong…so *</em></strong>ing wrroongg lol </p>

<p>jk jk lol</p>

<p>@tothetop I didn’t add the $22 one either since the comparison was already made between the two.</p>
