*OFFICIAL* June 2012 ACT Reading Section discussion

<p>Just post ur comments or confirm answers here pls :)</p>

<p>So hard this time.</p>

<p>can someone make one of those google docs things so we can post the answers</p>

<p>I thought it was easy. I finished with time to check over my work.</p>

<p>I thought it was much easier than the practices I’ve done. What were the passages about, I can’t remember. One about the tattoos, one about dictionaries, one about praries that need fire, and the last one was…?</p>

<p>not too bad. </p>

<p>what was the purpose of adding the quote/dialogue from that play?
I narrowed it down to

  • to show the impact of the writer (forget his name) on the development of the english lang
  • to show that some people of that time saw the need for dictionaries (i put this i think)</p>

<p>Erie Canal</p>

<p>Did praries need fire:</p>

<p>a. just as much as water
b. more than water
c. less than water</p>

<p>equal amount</p>

<p>^O yea. I go tthat lucky guess!</p>

<p>buckyorbust: equal</p>

<p>ncdukie: i put to show that people at the time saw the need for the dictionary, im pretty sure thats the right answer</p>

<p>what was the purpose of the park ranger in lines 5-9</p>

<p>Show that he was experienced, I believe.</p>

<p>hotelrwanda…i said it showed his experience</p>

<p>I think it was about the same difficulty level as most of the practice tests in the Red Book. There was one question I wasn’t sure about: one of those EXCEPT questions.</p>

<p>What was the answer to the very last question?</p>

<p>lol @ ratmkino, how would they know who we are, and we’ve done this for YEARS nothing ever happens.</p>

<p>What was the last question @ sebi95</p>

<p>anyone remember any hard questions…what was the one that was like…which of the following did someone not do…it was in the dictionary one</p>

<p>I did not like some of the passages, their was one about “she with horses” doing something and it was confusing because the person was a guy (i don’t remember if this was reading or english, forgive me)</p>

<p>@Noxsing that was English in the passage about the winter counts. I found it confusing too.</p>

<p>What did you guys get in the dictionary passage, the question about they had dictionaries/reference books for… I put church writings</p>
