Official December 10th ACT Reading Discussion

<p>@imthealexx I picked “they were both in the same city” because the passage stated that the two different paintings were painted about the same city</p>

<p>@imthealexx try looking at previous pages, incorrect. it was both from NYC. even though both were abstract, they weren’t both landscapes i believe.</p>

<p>Why would anyone memorize their letters…?</p>

<p>It deff said he decried it explicitly.</p>

<p>It explicitly says he decried them…
And yea, I got mesmerizing and dynamic</p>

<p>is the answer for clementine A or B?</p>

<p>It was mesmerizing and dynamic, yes.
They were both from NYC.
And the second part of the decry answer choice was wrong, so the whole thing is wrong. I’m not alone!!</p>

<p>@statlanta omg this question was so annoying. I put J, fundamental difference on the definition of time spot. At first I put your answer, F. but then compare these two: The question states Wordsworth whatever … “spots of time of experience that takes on new meaning after many years.”" and the passage says “… except these spots of time is junk”. So basically it boiled down to the definition of fundamental. It was a toss up for me, but my thought process is Wordsworth believes the spots of time are EXPERIENCES while the narrator thinks the spots of time is JUNK. The FUNDAMENTAL difference in the DEFINITION of “spots of time”. That is, not the concept behind them, but what exactly “spot of time” is. Again ,its a tossup for me but I changed my answer from by and large to difference.</p>

<p>@starchywinky: nope your wrong! it was explicitly stated in the passage that he USED caricatures I even remember a specific detail in the passage “showed he had a talent for caricatures, although he was often above using them in his artwork” or something like that.
googled his name as well : Early in his career, Orozco’s focus was political caricature</p>

<p>what was the clementine question? and what were some of the answer choices?</p>

<p>NOoooooooo!!! I am positive, in the last sentence of the paragraph, he did not use it in his murals. I know that. Isn’t decry a strong word to use for the answer. But the consensus is decried.</p>

<p>Ahhh I missed three so far, Clementine, decry?, lossely chronological? I thuoght it was strict.</p>

<p>@imthealexx: read my answer on page 5 or 4. I wrote in depth answer and it is for sure clementine.</p>

<p>@panmit: nope not strict. it starts off kind of strict with china to romans w/e but it skips around a bit.</p>

<p>What was the fundamental dynamic question</p>

<p>He did use it in the murals, the passage said so, but the answer choice said that he DIDN’T.
And the passage said that he was NOT above using them in his murals.
But oh well.</p>

<p><a href=“ART REVIEW; A Fire Born of Revolution - The New York Times”>ART REVIEW; A Fire Born of Revolution - The New York Times;
Here’s the article.
The answer choice I picked was that he had a gift for caricature but spoke out against the technique.
“The latter demonstrates Orozco’s considerable gift for caricature, which he often decried but was not above using in his murals.”
Decry: To denounce, speak out against.</p>

<p>Was clementine A or B? I remember racing at the end to change my answer to B, but I can’t remember if it was clementine or not.</p>

<p>for the rose vinegar one, was it petals?</p>

<p>yes, it was petals.</p>

<p>yes it was</p>

<p>It was petals
There was no answer that he had a gift for caricatures but spoke out against them. There was an answer that he had a gift for them and spoke out against them, even though he included some in his art.</p>

<p>We can argue about this one all night long…</p>

<p>“There was an answer that he had a gift for them and spoke out against them, even though he included some in his art.”</p>

<p>If that was the exact answer then it’s right…
Though i’m 100% sure it was spoke out against the technique.</p>

<p>So what was the question for fundamental dynamic</p>
