October 2010 ACT Reading Thread

<p>^Yeah, and the narrator was like people who wanted it would stand far back from his desk and pretend not to be interested, but he could see through it. He wouldn’t say that for no reason if it was being applied to the guy buying the radio. Was that (D)?</p>

<p>And what was the question people were referring to “its aesthetic appeal” to again? I thought it was an object from the 1950s and 60s because it said he liked collecting old radios or something.</p>

<p>i put aesthetic appeal, it said he thought it looked “cool”.</p>

<p>^wongtongtong is on target.</p>

<p>So far I’m -1 (attic).</p>

<p>Maybe -2 for negotiation/enthusiasm.</p>

<p>Can someone tell me what the question was ASKING??</p>

<p>@wongtongtong</p>

<p>Ignorance was the answer for the question that asked what people were really buying back when they bought junk</p>

<p>@alec: I forgot what the question was asking lol. go back in threads and look</p>

<p>@samilee- yup thats what I thought.</p>

<p>ANOTHER ANSWER: People in rome started growing their own roses.</p>

<p>Yeah ignorance was an answer</p>

<p>^hey can you answer my questoin in the science thread.</p>

<p>Yes wongtong that is but it was discussed in the beginning…</p>

<p>^ Oh was it? woops, lol.</p>

<p>For the last few questions, which letters did you put down? Because I didn’t have time and put all B’s for the last six, and for one of them near the end.</p>

<p>^I put all Bs also for the ones I didnt get to. I’m hoping at least 2 of them were right lol. I think I only had 4 left (or was it 5 for this section?)</p>

<p>hey what were the other choices for the ignorance question and why is ignorance the right answer?</p>

<p>@popupblocker2 - I remember ignorance being a correct answer as well, but I don’t remember the other options. </p>

<p>In the passage, the answer could be found verbatim.</p>

<p>another option was like youthful or something</p>

<p>it was word for word in the text. Ignorance was the answer</p>

<p>Anyone else have not much time left on the last passage? I had 5 minutes left on it. I did my best.</p>

<p>Do you guys think this will be a +1 or 0 curve?</p>

<p>probably 0</p>
