<p>I got a few questions. </p>

<p>On the english one aobut the kids and them seeing the garbage truck. </p>

<p>Who
Whom</p>

<p>Also, during the pen perpensity story. Was it elses or else's?</p>

<p>I took the preparation class for this and never did we have a test as hard as those.</p>

<p>Also, I HATE science ones relating to EROSION and DIRT and also animal breedings.</p>

<p>Oh one more questoin, during the deer tick question, the 2nd one, what is essential for the tick to continuae transferring bacteria?</p>

<p>I put mice, instead of deer. good?</p>

142

<p>I put who because whom didn't sound right</p>

<p>Don't remember about else's/else</p>

<p>I put mice because on the chart mice was the only thing that was listed by itself. Everything else (deer, humans, etc.) had a group of things or had "other domesticated animals" listed under them.</p>

<p>Question:</p>

<p>On the astronomy passage in english, what was the one thing not explained in the passage? </p>

<p>I put why the sun was bigger than the earth</p>

143

<p>For the deer tick, I put mice.</p>

<p>For the pen, I said else's.</p>

<p>For the kids, I said who.</p>

<p>For the math, I think I said 3tan70 (you didn't use the angle they gave you).</p>

144

<p>For the astronomy, I said the sun was bigger.</p>

145

<p>On the deer/tick one, I couldnt locate that in the graph, I must have had a brain fart or something.</p>

<p>For the kids, I put whom, because it was more than one.</p>

<p>For the math tan one, I put 3tan30, i knew it was probably wrong, but didnt know how to get 3tan70 or any of that.</p>

<p>For the science, I had to guess a lot. For 1 minute a question, that was insane. Id be lucky to get a 20-25 on that :( Lets hope there is a good curve! I will be taking the ACT on the 26th, so hopefully that one will be easier!</p>

<p>What did you guys put on that one with the large table/small table deal? How did you solve that? I solved it but couldnt get it to match any of the choices.</p>

146

<p>"For the kids, I put whom, because it was more than one."</p>

<p>"Whom" isn't plural. Well, it could be plural. But the point is that you use "whom" when it is an object. </p>

<p>"This present is for whom?" "You gave whom the present?"</p>

<p>An easy way to test if you should use "whom" is to replace "whom" with "me." If it makes sense, put "whom."</p>

147

<p>whom=me/them who=they/he</p>

148

<p>it was else's so it was correct how it was...i think i got it wrong lol
also it was "who"
I thought this test was ok but im praying for a good curve...reading sucked the worst though</p>

149

<p>Well, it was tough to explain so I put because more than one. I thought that whom was the most appropriate.</p>

150

<p>which one was this?</p>

151

<p>i put is....</p>

<p>i believe she was referring to all her pens (she just got finished mentioning all the pens she carried around), so i put they, but could be "the one i'm using," but it seemed too long for me....</p>

<p>i put attraction on the one that was least acceptable</p>

152

<p>that one was tricky, because at first i tried to write an equation by using cos or sine (don't remember which one)and then quickly realized none of the answer choices contained cosine or sine. i got it right though. i just had to find the 3rd angle cause they gave 2 angles!</p>

153

<p>i also put why the sun was bigger, never mentioned it</p>

154

<p>

It was 40L + 1250, I believe. $40 per large table and you needed L of those. There were 50 small tables at $25 dollars each and all of those got rented out. 50*25=1250 and add to that the money generated from L tables at $40 each and you get the equation 40L + 1250.</p>

155

<p>Should he have included that he found them under his pillow? I said NO, because it was more than needed; he said that he found them ajacent to his dresser or something.</p>

156

<p>I put "who"...I was thingk about that one for a whilei put yes for the pillow thing because the next sentence had something to do with his sleep</p>

157

<p>i included it, because the next sentence wouldn't have made sense if the sentence about the pens under his pillow were'nt there</p>

158

<p>Do you think they will go easy on the curve...I mean the test was really hard (my opinion was that science was hard and in reading took a lot of time to do)</p>

<p>I think I wrote some marks with my pencil where the scantron lines are (the smae black lines at the left side) will this mess up my score? It was where I bubbled my my test booklet number.</p>

159

<p>They better go easy on the curve...lol. My only consolation is I have a very good SAT score that converts to 33+ on the ACT to back me up when I fail this.</p>

160

<p>I I did weel on english then math but then I got to the reading where I had little time which set me up for a horrible mood to do the hard science test. But I think I did well on the essay.</p>
