***Official December 9 ACT English Thread****

<p>are you sure? i thought it was adding description as to where the banning took place</p>

<p>also, for the honeybee passage, the objective was to write about a situation and how two people react differently. question was did passage accomplish this?</p>

<p>i said no, because narrator understands other lady's fears though she does not necessarily share them</p>

<p>yea u had to keep rivers and lakes it was adding a desciption...because the watercrafts did not necessarily have 2 be on rivers and lakes....it could have been on like oceans or something</p>

<p>"are you sure? i thought it was adding description as to where the banning took place"</p>

<p>The the hell cares about the setting? It is irrelevant. I'm positive.</p>

<p>i said yes to that one because they reacted differently to the situation</p>

<p>averagedesi - hmmmmm, im positive its not that irrelevant....</p>

<p>qrd567 - but they didnt really react differently? the lady just wanted them gone and this girl sympathized with her, i thought, so she called a beekeeper. i didnt really see how this meant reacting differently</p>

<p>o hmmm maybe i just remembered that the beekeeper was intrigued by it and the girl just wanted them gone...im prolly wrong tho</p>

<p>they definately acted different. The lady wanted them out of her house, but the guy wanted to use them to create honey. reacting different was the answer</p>

<p>but i agree that the lakes and rivers was not irrelevant</p>

<p>that lakes and rivers one was the hardest question on the whole ACT. it should be thrown out.</p>

<p>what about the one where it asks what word is least acceptable
like
though
whereas
whether
while</p>

<p>....on this one i had no clue i dont think there was a right answer</p>

<p>it woulda been like whereas.....,but
or
whether....,but</p>

<p>non made sense</p>

<p>Do you remember the question/context?</p>

<p>i think i put whether im not sure though.</p>

<p>i put whether</p>

<p>Absolutey "whether".</p>

<p>I'd problems with simple ones like "exploit or abuse" is that right? or is it "exploit, or abuse"</p>

<p>and...."people who blablablala were silient" do we need a comma? like "people, who blablabla, were silient"</p>

<p>i thought lakes and rivers should be kept...and it had to do with the thing with the recreational sporting stuff in the 1st paragraph. the whole point of that sentence was to compare getting rid of regular pollution to getting rid of noise pollution.</p>

<p>yea rivers and lakes definitely needed to be kept</p>

<p>yeah, but it would be redundant if it's kept?</p>

<p>no because it said a watercraft.....that doesnt necessarily have 2 be in rivers and lakes...so putting rivers and lakes clarifies it. There could have been a watercraft in a pond or an ocean or something like that</p>
