**October ACT Thread**

<p>sang sung hahahahahahhahaha...that was the biggest stumper of all. English was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO easy though, I was very happy. Math wasn't horrid, not easy, not hard, just sort of a happy medium? (though testing isn't happy, so..yeah). Science was somewhat tricky but doable...reading? should it even be CALLED reading? i like skimmed faster than skimming is defined as. I skimmed, answered, reskimmed, relooked at the qs', and I still had like 4 passages to go in 10- mins..it was horrible!</p>

<p>nicole07, yeah one of the first questions was which phrase is least necessary. All the other choices provided essential details. But since it already said the bird is unlike its "cousin," the wild turkey is unnecessary.</p>

<p>i'm pretty sure the rectangle w/ the diagonals was the two triangles being congruent that were on the left and right... but I definetely could be wrong..</p>

<p>there was another question that underlined Wild Turkey, then something</p>

<p>I said the "...bushes...." was unnecessary for the question asking which detail was least necessary</p>

<p>no the rectangle with the diagonals was the two triangles on the top and bottom, because they were composed of not necessarily congruent legs</p>

<p>hawg... i got the same thing</p>

<p>The answer was J for the matrix problem. </p>

<p>For english, one of the questions went something along the lines of "... surprised Wyatt himself." Is a comma necessary after Wyatt? </p>

<p>Another english question:
"... to promote her business and travel agents, preparing them to do what she does."
Although I feel that the addition after agents is unnecessary, I did not like the justification they gave for the answers that said the clause was unnecessary. I therefore said it was necessary since it helped explain how she taught them, but I feel this is probably wrong. It might be "No, since it was explained earlier.", but I know that this point had not been repeated before or explained. </p>

<p>Any comment on either question is appreciated.</p>

<p>I agree with your english answer</p>

<p>i put the cranberry bushes as well.. it was useless... wasn't it?</p>

<p>Yea, i agree with you hawg.</p>

<p>For the english question i put no, because she creates her own products </p>

<p>or something like that because she wasn't training them to run their own business with their own products, only to sell and learn about hers.</p>

<p>ryanberry07,</p>

<p>There should be no comma in that Wyatt sentence.</p>

<p>You didn't provide the right quote for the travel agent one, it was more like this "... to promote her business and train travel agents, preparing them to do what she does." Technically the comma is correct in the sentence, however the clause should be omitted because it's redundant.</p>

<p>it said "to promote her business and TRAIN other agents..."</p>

<p>it had been repeated..</p>

<p>I can't remember, but I <em>think</em> I put the same thing as you, hawg.</p>

<p>was J on the matrix problem the one with like 3x and 2y and an integer?</p>

<p>The other one with variables had like 8x or something and i though that was too big</p>

<p>promote, progress, publicize./.. which one</p>

<p>anyone else who knows for sure about the rectangle question? I also put the triangles on the left and right, but it was mostly a guess.</p>

<p>what was the answer for coney island size problem
and in science, the bacteria one, was it chloroplast?</p>

<p>ok I think that test went terrible...it seems like they have been trying to change the question they ask, like the english definately had more of which is not acceptable questions, also "ommit" became "delete." I had a brain fart on math but everything else went well. Science definately required some outside knowlege, i.e. bacteria is a prokaryote-- I said cholorplast cause the thing has a wall, a plasmid, and no mito</p>

<p>I said progress wasn't acceptable...</p>

<p>Wyatt question, where does the comma go?</p>
