October 2010 ACT English Thread

<p>I can’t remember well, but wasn’t the question: I was _________ by strangers? then awakened is the only one that makes sense, right?</p>

<p>I put awaken. Was one of the answers “deep, brass sound” or something like that.</p>

<p>I also put awakened… is that not right?</p>

<p>Yessssssssss</p>

<p>Mark I think that was no change? Not sure though I think I put no change…</p>

<p>Last one about basketball - was Tennessee State coach Ed Temple a big influence in the girl’s life? I put no…</p>

<p>Oh the last basketball one. I remember I put that it was just about the biography of her life or something. And I put “not unintentionally” also, because of that part about how the phrase should emphasize that they made the music different on purpose.</p>

<p>Not unintentionally sounds horrible though…</p>

<p>Do any of yall know the answer about the Tennessee coach in the girl’s life?</p>

<p>thanks wanton…i put not unintentionally too - it sounds bad but it has to be it</p>

<p>its def no to the tennessee coach; the passage was a general biography</p>

<p>gahh…i think i misread that as “not intentionally”…on the differing music one? I think i put ironically…fail :(</p>

<p>stupid act, they would put ‘not unintentionally’ as a correct answer…wow.</p>

<p>yeah, a double negative is the correct answer? ha!</p>

<p>What was the one about the movement of the woodpeckers? The original was something like “the creature moves so fast”</p>

<p>In the passage about woodpeckers, what was the correct answer for the question about modifying, “Because they fly so fast”? I picked one of the two answers that didn’t use fast as an adverb…</p>

<p>yeah skiiz thats correct bc after the introductory clause (ex. blah blah blah, NEED SUBJECT RIGHT AFTER COMMA) so the creature was the subject</p>

<p>HNofil, I picked the one where it said “the movement is so fast”. What did you put?</p>

<p>i put “the movement is so fast”…</p>

<p>and when they were desctibing the # of olympic medals was it “was” or “were”? like how the gold medals are so common now but i wasn’t before</p>

<p>I think so, do you remember the other answer where “fast” wasn’t modifying “fly”? I was stuck between those two.</p>

<p>Awaken? Awakened?</p>

<p>Awakened</p>

<p>Can someone clarify the ‘fly so fast’ quetsion? I dont remember it</p>

<p>i thing is was “was”</p>
