October 22 2011 ACT English Discush

<p>^No it was “ocassionally.” This was a rhetorical question that had to emphasize the how few it happened, on and off appears to be more often than occasionally</p>

<p>^ I put occasionally as well</p>

<p>so it’s not time to time… dangit</p>

<p>Is there a consensus on the items in a series question? its either the verb with a colon before the list, “such as” instead of the verb, or just the verb without the colon.</p>

<p>Hold up… It was most certainly whom rather than who. The subject of the sentence was AFTER the who/whom. Therefore: It was whom. Whom do the [subject] think will win the race.</p>

<p>Nope, its who.</p>

<p>no… read up on your who/whom rules. If the subject comes after, it is whom. Whom do ‘YOU’ want to go to the dance with. Who wants to go to the dance?</p>

<p>Nope, im the who/whom king.</p>

<p>Ill use a previous student’s description to prove my case:</p>

<p>Whom do you love? You love him.
Who is going to the store? He is.</p>

<p>Use the he or him trick every time. Him = whom, he = who.</p>

<p>I understand that… That’s exactly what I was saying. We both know the rules, but you have to realize that the context stated the subject after the who/whom. You NEVER use Who before that because Who implies subject.</p>

<p>You wouldn’t say “I think him will win the race.”</p>

<p>I don’t exactly remember the context but i double checked it when i arrived at that question on the test, im positive.</p>

<p>No, it’s who, I’m pretty sure.</p>

<p>We’ll let some more people give their opinions but i still think its who.</p>

<p>They can’t figure out whom they should blame for this. They should blame him.</p>

<p>Its who!
99.999% sure</p>

<p>haha thanks joepaterno for quoting me. It was definitely who on the test.</p>

<p>Consolidated answers: ( please verify) </p>

<p>1) a part ( vs. apart) </p>

<p>2) The last question about that, about where the paragraph 4 was placed, did you say no change, before paragraph 1, before paragraph 2, or after paragraph 2?</p>

<p>3) question 12, the answer was ITS- discussing the theater’s program, </p>

<p>4) the answer to the 2nd/ 3rd question…(not sure exactly, but it was at the beginning) was? It was a sentence that awkwardly connected two independent variable’s with “and”. I was down that and dividing it with a period. I divided that with a period</p>

<p>5) who/whom question- answer was WHO</p>

<p>6) The first passage which listed a series of things. Should a colon have been there? I initially said yes but then second-guessed myself because a passage later used “such as” and didn’t have a colon after it. the words such as basically act as a colon</p>

<p>7) fairly typical ( vs. Run-of-the-mill) </p>

<p>8) “Really shining a light on” vs. “tried to focus on”</p>

<p>9) What was the answer to the one about his age or whatever? It was the bicycle one, and there was one of them that didn’t fit. I was debating whether it was (Name of guy here), (number), or the other one which went something like (Name of guy here), then (number) to compete blah blah blah.
I chose the latter because it was missing a comma, but the first one I mentioned seemed really odd too. I’ve never seen someone just put a number in commas to represent someone’s age and not elaborate. You’re correct. You could say "John, thirtyseven, was blahblahblah</p>

<p>10) There was a question that went like: “Owner’s theatre actors.” Would this be correct? </p>

<p>11) The last question for that passage was where you had to conclude the essay in a better way, or leave it as it was. I remember the last choice was: “there were several more shows that summer.” Would this be correct?</p>

<p>12) Donate food. (for the barter theater passage</p>

<p>13) "rather than on” or “than on” </p>

<p>14) “isn’t” on display"</p>

<p>15) recapture (because the narrative talked about how she was trying to revive the Harlem renaissance from the 1920s. in this context, revive = recapture) </p>

<p>16) “Tried to focus on” (NOT, "Really shined a light on"0</p>

<p>17) Sparsely. (Which one is not an acceptable alternative: sometimes, once in a while, now and then, and sparsely…which one wasn’t acceptable?)</p>

<p>18) The crowds gathered to watch their favorite athletes.</p>

<p>19) “occasionally.” This was a rhetorical question that had to emphasize the how few it happened,</p>

<p>20)</p>

<p>I thought the theater program one was its’…whoops</p>

<p>Sent from my SPH-M920 using CC App</p>

<h1>19) I put “5 more times” because it said emphasize precisely how few copies…blahblah</h1>

<p>Tricky, I know.</p>

<p>I put down ITS for that one… but I definitely was considering ITS’. Can anyone verify?</p>
