Official June 10th ACT Discussion

<p>Does anyone remember the insect passage in the Reading Section with a question about spiders? I didn't have enough time and I skimmed through the passage and just put that the wind helped the spiders or something like that. What was the question and what'd you guys put?</p>

<p>wazzup: Are you talking about the one with three different students and a box?</p>

<p>Yes.(10char)</p>

<p>was one of your answers "whose" and not "who's" in the grammar section</p>

<p>yes yes yes</p>

<p>i think that one question about how the parents responded to the rock music was definite "delighted," because i saw the word "amused" used in the passage to describe their reaction to their music, and "delighted" was the only word of the choices that had a positive tone like "amused"</p>

<p>also, does anyone else want to discuss the last science passage?</p>

<p>was the answer to the first question on the last science passage the graph in the form of y=x?</p>

<p>I somehow ended up being really pressed for time on the math...I didn't even finish it, had to bubble a few without even looking at the question. I took a practice one yesterday, first one I had looked at, and finished the math like 20 minutes early before checking it over. so I figured I had a little time to be more careful... guess that didn't work. I was really counting on getting a higher 30 something on that section. =(</p>

<p>harvard... I said confused too, changed it from accepted I think. They said they were amused by it, seemed like they didn't really understand it and found it funny, but I guess they did accept it, I don't know.</p>

<p>For the why it had to be dry I think it was something like so they didn't stick to each other or the sifter (or w/e)...that way it would get out all the extra small ones that were clumped together.</p>

<p>I think its accepting. The beginning of the passage was all about how the kids had assimilated american pop/rock, while the adults listened to latino music. It wouldn't be delighted, it doesn't make sense. It wouldn't be confused because nowhere in the passage did it state confusion.</p>

<p>I don't know, when I read that part it evoked a picture of a bunch of adults listening to latino music while talking about "kids these days and thier modern music"......which led me to choose accepting</p>

I thought it was "why he was being ______"
so I put rude? Are you sure it was behaving?

[/quote]
If it was "being", then "rude" is correct; that sentence needs an adjective. If it was "behaving", then "rude" is wrong no matter how redundant the other options were.</p>

<p>I don't remember any options that were in adverb form.</p>

<p>Sour, someone said D was "in a [something] manner", which is an adverb phrase.</p>

<p>did anyone put "delighted"?</p>

<p>i was thinking about putting "accepting," but i thought there was more of a positive reaction than just accepting it</p>

<p>im pretty sure it was accepted because of the fact that they were just amused. They didnt show much enthusiasm for it. They were just kind of "oh look at them."</p>

<p>Accepting definitely.</p>

<p>Like I said before, the parents aren't going to wet themselves w/ joy b/c their kids are rejecting their heritage. Accepting is appropriate b/c while not thrilled, they still do not mind that they play American music.</p>

<p>I said accepting that's why they would take their kids with them and didn't not take them to do their rock n roll</p>

<p>can anyone say definitively whether they know if that one comma question on the english section required a comma or not?</p>

<p>No comma because both clauses were dependent and not independent.</p>

<p>Are you talking about the [______ (,) but composed reaction]?</p>

<p>I had trouble with that. I don't remember the exact wording.</p>

<p>^ I don't know if it's just me, but I remember more than one of such cases.</p>
