October 2010 ACT English Thread

<p>If you kept reading, the rest of the passage was in present tense. It was really weird…but I do believe it was become</p>

<p>I think it elaborated on father/son. Mournful music for a father/son needs clarification. I can see it both ways though.</p>

<p>For the woodpecker, is it the one that is: Unlike rock climbers…“The creature moves so fast…?” I think you needed “the creature” there to contrast with rock climbers and to make it clear that it wasn’t talking about the rock climbers with a later phrase in the sentence.</p>

<p>^correct</p>

<p>also i remember one of the answers was “,which …” i forgot the details</p>

<p>Which is correct? Father/son or woodpecker/rock climbers?</p>

<p>@samiiilee: Okay, thanks, that’s what I put!</p>

<p>@Kangster: I also remember putting a “which” but I don’t remember the question either.</p>

<p>i dont remember the father/son or woodpecker/rock climbers one…i think i accidentlaly skipped a question haha.
I also put inhaling the dust i think, because it said specific, but wasnt entirely sure.</p>

<p>The father/son question required a change I believe. Originally, the sentence read: He would set certain music for certain situations, “like Celtic music for a father and son.” Just saying “for a father and son” is vague and does not explain the need for specific music. You could have a scene with just a father and son standing next to each other and that certainly would not require music. It had to be more specific in my opinion, but honestly, this is one those questions that could be argued either way.</p>

<p>This wasn’t one of the questions, but anyone else noticed the mistake in one of the passages?</p>

<p>It was like… [(independent sentence) , and fails]. Notice the comma O_o</p>

<p>There was a question that had something like With the help of his colleague (the name), he blah blah blah. Was there supposed a comma before the name? cuz i put one </p>

<p>This was for the music passage.</p>

<p>^ You don’t put a comma.</p>

<p>Really? Why do I always chose the wrong one when I am down to 50 50.</p>

<p>@linger pretty sure i know which one u are talking about, i didnt put the comma because it seemed like it was more simple without it</p>

<p>that last question confused the hell out of me. It was like: </p>

<p>As a result of this and other episodes, Blah Blah Blah </p>

<p>something like that this was the one that had me wondering all my extra time, anyone remember this?</p>

<p>I put result. Because the “result of this and other episodes” pretty much mean results of everything. So there was no need to be specific.</p>

<p>maybe ur thinking of a different question. only result was underlined</p>

<p>No “result of this and other episodes” was underlined. I remember because it boggled me for a while too.</p>

<p>i think the answer is ironically. how can it be not unintentionally? not unintentionally sounds awkward to me. Ironically, on the other hand, shows that his music turns out differently from what he had expected --to be like the original piece when he didnt want that to happen.</p>

<p>How about the one that said, “Hostels have kitchens, which provides an alternative for costly restaurants.” Do you need the comma before “which”? I put you didn’t but idk.</p>

<p>was that the last or 2nd to last question? Because i know i’m talking about the last question or the 2nd to last question</p>

<p>@andisaid I think the question asked which phrase shows that the composer or whatever purposely made the music different from something. so it would be “not unintentionally”</p>
