October 25, 2008 ACT Discussion- English

<p>But how does ''on the other hand'' give a sense of uncertainty? that was what the question was asking for. </p>

<p>I chose apparently.</p>

<p>fizban, it's asking which word would make it seem like the historians didn't know a lot about her life</p>

<p>^^Yea, "on the other hand" presents a new fact...it gives a contrasting idea almost.</p>

<p>"Apparently" is a word used for uncertainty or not fully supported with much proof.</p>

<p>That's how I rationalized the choices.</p>

<p>I didn't have this form of the test... so I'll give my unbiased opinion that, simply from what I've read here, sounds like it was "apparently".</p>

<p>Does any1 remember the first question in the inventor passage.</p>

<p>It started off with a quote and the sentence after it started off with "However......."</p>

<p>Which one is least acceptable: Still,Instead,nevertheless,On the other hand</p>

<p>i chose Instead. It didnt sound right.</p>

<p>i put instead.. it sounded really wrong</p>

<p>i put instead</p>

<p>First of all, "apparently" was DEFINITELY the right answer for that question.
I also put instead.
For the who/whom question I said whom...who but I have no idea if that is correct (it was either that or who...who).
I didn't switch either of the paragraph placements.
And I spent by far the longest on the "from this point" question and eventually said point, but I'm convinced now that it's ahead.</p>

<p>rjacob - I think I chose on the other hand... it sounded wrong to me (at least I think that's what I put)</p>

<p>did you guys have nevertheless for an answer? i dont remember the question but i remember 3 of the other answers were transitions into a contrasting tone, while nevertheless made it seem like the person agreed with what the fact</p>

<p>JML641 - yeah for the "three sisters" one I put whom...who as well</p>

<p>I have an unrelated question real quick...</p>

<p>Did everyone's test have "Student Review Questions" at the end? Or just mine?</p>

<p>for the three sisters, who who was correct..
i think i might have missed 1 or 2. way to simple.</p>

<p>i doubt any1 remembers this but, did any1 get A F(who/whom question) C F A for 5 choices near the who/whom question. The who/whom was the second no change.</p>

<p>I got who...who</p>

<p>don't remember rjacob, sorry</p>

<p>I could have sworn it was whom/who.</p>

<p>^^ you doubted right. I have no idea what you are talking about.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember some like corn, wheat..whatever, collectively known has the "Three Sisters" Have/Has/Was been the source of food or something.</p>

<p>were, it was plural before that
did any of you notice that the three sisters were also talked about in The Real ACT Guide?
i smiled when I saw that</p>

<p>were, it was plural</p>

<p>did any of you notice that the three sisters were in The Real ACT Guide too?
i smiled when I read that</p>
