**October ACT Thread**

<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>yeah, but the point is she WASNT training them to do what she does, she was training them to work under her</p>

<p>i said progress was the worst choice</p>

<p>I first said publicize, then I said progress.</p>

<p>science raped me.</p>

<p>I believe it was membrane...and coney island was to refute misconceptions.</p>

<p>i think it was the only one that wasn't "promote, progress, or publicize" right?</p>

<p>the last math??? anyone</p>

<p>On the last math question, I put the statement that said: "a = -b or a = 1 - b"</p>

<p>"yeah, but the point is she WASNT training them to do what she does, she was training them to work under her"</p>

<p>actually, i didn't remember the part about travel agents, i thought it was either agents or workers or something, if that is the case then alas, i am wrong</p>

<p>on the reading section what did you guys say about the depiction of coney island?</p>

<p>youguysaresad,</p>

<p>"yeah, but the point is she WASNT training them to do what she does, she was training them to work under her"</p>

<p>I don't understand your argument. If she's training someone to do her job, it's obvious they're going to do what she does. Thus, it's redundant.</p>

<p>coney island = relatively small...</p>

<p>cjones32157,</p>

<p>I said Coney Island was a friendly place. I did NOT put that it had a lot of tourists (I don't think they even mentioned tourism).</p>

<p>Coney Island wasn't small, it was depicted as big. And the only reason it said safe in the passage was because nobody could afford automobiles so they could play on the boardwalk. It was depicted as friendly.</p>

<p>My argument was explained in the other "No" answer choice. It said something like "no, because she made her own hair products". There had been a couple of sentences emphasizing how she designed her own products, and I got the sense that, by promoting her product to others instead of encouraging them to create their own hair products, she was not training them to do what she did.</p>

<p>I put the one about tourists and being colorful, but the "friendly" answer was my second choice</p>

<p>yeah i think i said friendly can't remember though</p>

<p>i took it at choate rosemary hall school and it was in the gym. there were 200 kids taking it all at the same time. beeeautiful, yeah broke my concentration lol.</p>

<p>no, they said that coney island wasn't that big and that the beach "was merely 20 yards away" or something like that..</p>

<p>but coney island was friendly and safe..</p>

<p>I agree with Scribner. There was a whole paragraph that paraphrased Scribner's "friendly place" description.</p>
