October 25, 2008 ACT Discussion- English

<p>it it is not apparently i would be unbelievably surprised
i got a perfect score in W on the SAT and 35-36 on practice tests on the ACT
(i am not bragging, but merely saying that I too have top scores so you cannot base who is right, in this situation, on whether or not you have a perfect score in a particular section)
i really do think it is apparently</p>

<p>Schoolsearching, I have taken the ACT 5 times now and I put Apparently for that question.</p>

<p>BOOM HEADSHOT!</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>Also, on the other hand does not at all convey uncertainty in that statement. On the other hand, ( ;) ) apparently does convey uncertainty.</p>

<p>what did everyone put for the corn one??? It was unnecessary from what I thought....and I pulled a 34 on Eng so I have some credit too :)</p>

<p>I definitely put apparently. We can continue arguing but we'll only know when scores come. If I got a 36, obviously I got it right, lol.
Stalin one was surely medieval tactics
As to the planting corn:
"for the corn planting one I put it gave unnecessary info about plating corn...because it WAS unnecessary."
I disagree - I put it would remove a piece of info that described the first step of a process (or the question said something to that nature) because that is exactly what that phrase did. it detailed the very first step in it. it MAY have been unnecessary, but I think the BEST answer was that it would lose that description.</p>

<p>Also, i'm really unsure about the two "who/whom" questions. I had two of them. I looked up proper usage of whom : <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Use-%22Whom%22-Correctly"&gt;http://www.wikihow.com/Use-"Whom"-Correctly&lt;/a>
So, if someone can remember exactly what the two who/whom questions asked, we can use the grammar rules to figure them out</p>

<p>@ TTWhite.</p>

<p>That's what I put.</p>

<p>I agree w/ TTWhite. It wasn't unnecessary because that paragraph started out with "the technique is quite interesting" and the rest of that paragraph details the rest of the three sisters technique. If you delete that, then you lose the first step of the technique.</p>

<p>"sisters who could never be parted, siblings who lived in the same house" i think</p>

<p>agrees with naz1209.</p>

<p>In case anyone is too lazy to click the link:
"Use who when referring to the subject of a sentence or phrase."
"Use whom when referring to the object of a verb."
im still really not sure. its amazing I do so well on this ACT english test. I hate grammar.</p>

<p>so what did everyone agree on with the
point,
point ahead,
point forward,
point something,</p>

<p>i put point,</p>

<p>I think it's point ahead, and most people agree</p>

<p>I think it's point ahead, and i think most agree</p>

<p>I put "point," but most others think it's "point ahead,"</p>

<p>damnit, I had that correct but switched it!!!!!!!! AHHH</p>

<p>Isn't "Whom" also the object of preposition?</p>

<p>I put point ahead. It just sounded more awkward than point.</p>

<p>As for the who/whom problem.</p>

<p>The first part of the sentence, sisters is the subject so you would use whom because it is the object of the verb...no...wait...it's the subject so you would use who and then who again? Oh man. SOmeone help me please!! I'm in a who/whom conundrum!</p>

<p>"This point forward" was an option? If so, that's right, no?</p>

<p>It was which one is not appropriate
point
point ahead
point forward
point onward</p>

<p>I believe the sentece was "From that _________ his dream os astronomy was blah blah blah.</p>

<p>Point forward does fit.</p>

<p>Oh, okay.</p>

<p>I didn't have that test form, I'm just reading this thread because no one else has my test to discuss with...</p>

<p>But yeah, "from this point ahead" sounds awful.</p>

<p>i think it was whom could not be parted (they were object not subject), and who blah blah cuz they were definitly the subject</p>

<p>Thank you daman11...you are really da man for pulling me out of my conundrum (and giving me the answer I was hoping for!)</p>
