<p>@loudesttrumpet, yea i put the one with 2 commas too. it would make sense, since though is connecting the two sentences, and you have to put a comma before and after</p>
<p>@LoudestTrumpet: I picked the one with two commas, too. In situations like that, if it’s an unnecessary word, then it should be put between commas. You can double check by removing the word altogether and seeing if the sentence still makes sense.</p>
<p>For one of the questions that was part of the passage about whales… what was the one about ship location? No change [shipping areas where endangered whales might be found] or just “shipping areas.” or something like that.
not sure if it was even about whales…</p>
<p>I put “shipping areas.”
It was about researchers looking for whales</p>
<p>Okay, me too. But i initially put that because i thought it was redundant… but weren’t they specifically looking for an endangered species [right whales, or something]?</p>
<p>I put “shipping areas” I remember thinking that the “where endangered whales might be found” was redundant</p>
<p>anyone here willing to compile answers with me, private 1-to-1 conversation?</p>
<p>Does anybody remember the very first question? I forgot what it was exactly but it dealt with an appositive with no commas?</p>
<p>salsa singer <em>the name</em>
it was no change i believe…</p>
<p>It was no change because it was a restrictive appositive which does not use a comma.</p>
<p>What about the one in the photography passage where it uses a colon. It is right before the narrator gives a list of the “rules for photography” his mom gives him.</p>
<p>Were you supposed to omit the “such as” (make that part of the sentance an independant clause and then add a colon followed by the word “Use”.
i.e. independant clause: Use (rule 1). Rule 2. Rule 3.</p>
<p>EDIT: Nevermind ACTtutor512 posted earlier</p>
<p>“There was one correct colon on the test - in the photography passage. There was a list, but it consisted of multiple sentences, hence the option of “<strong><em>: Use _</em></strong>.””</p>
<p>I think I did better on the english section than I did all the other sections. This one was the most like all of my practice tests. All of the other tests seemed to feel really hard and a little unfair. </p>
<p>I feel like the first section always makes you feel like the test will either be really hard or easy and then all of the other sections are the complete opposite. Does anyone know what I mean?</p>
<p>In the whales passage, first question about adding the location… was it “yes, (something like how it creates a sentence with location for winter and spring)”? I thought because of parallel structure it should be added, and that was fairly close to that answer. However, that seemed like too easy of an answer.</p>
<p>Couple questions:</p>
<ol>
<li>Sheep/dog passage - Was it your/their/its ancestors?</li>
<li>Number 73/74 - what was the vocab word to describe her face? radiate/illuminate/gleam?</li>
<li>Was there a comma before a saying in quotes? it was in the middle of the enlish test. </li>
<li>Last passage about photography…would it work as an essay? i said yes it taught how one could go from learning a few steps to take a professional photograph - something along those lines</li>
</ol>
<p>@amplified, i put what you did.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure 2) was illuminate. I believe I put the same thing as you for 4)</p>
<p>@Amplified It was like the whales from the North Atlantic going by some southern states </p>
<p>I put no because it could confuse the reader as to where the whales came from (it included like Massachusetts Bay) </p>
<p>Cause without the phrase, it still told you where the whales went to</p>
<p>@amplified i put the same answer as @ephemeral bliss. It would’ve added to the parallelism but it wasn’t necessary information that was needed to get the main point across of the whales becoming extinct</p>
<p>reposting these questions due to lack of response…</p>

<li>Was there a comma before a phrase in quotes that ended with a period? it was in the middle of the enlish test (think around the 40s)</li>

<p>@Amplified
- I put your
- illuminate
- Same answer</p>
