*OFFICIAL* June 2012 ACT Reading Section discussion

<p>she went to the beach to play with friends…i remember that one that answer was b actually, from what I remember</p>

<p>I think it was that she went to the beach to play with kids…I remember I found it right in the passage and I eliminated all the other answer choices. So, I’m pretty confident that it was right.</p>

<p>Do you guys know what the “Tattoo love ocean” answer is about from the list on the last page?</p>

<p>I thought that tattoo passage was the prose fiction–wasn’t it first?</p>

<p>Pretty sure tattoo passage was first.</p>

<p>…</p>

<p>The gigantic list of answers on the previous page of this thread. What question corresponds to the answer “tattoo love ocean”? I don’t remember that one…</p>

<p>Was it the tattoo lady went to the beach because she loved the ocean?</p>

<p>tattoo loved ocean? OH YEAH…it was why the lady with the tattoo liked going to the beach ^^^^^^^thanks Michella</p>

<p>------> I remember looking back and seeing that speculation in the grandma’s dialogue</p>

<p>Ahh yes. Thanks, I got that right. Also why is your name michella? If you don’t mind saying.</p>

<p>Come on guys let’s think and find out what those last 4 questions / answers are. We got 36 of them so i know we can find out the other 4. :)</p>

<p>I think we only need 3. I came up with number 9 from the dictionary passage a couple pages ago…I’m looking the list from page 20 btw.</p>

<p>Sorry don’t have time to sort through all the pages. What was the one about an author using Shakespeare’s evidence/ his admission or whatever? He did not directly quote him so I was iffy about putting evidence, yet admission seemed like his testimony. So again were either of these two the correct answer for the dictionary question?</p>

<p>Maybe one of the last 3 questions is something about Clinton and his significance? Something like “he presided over a period of great influence?”</p>

<p>Also, can someone provide more details for the “Humans intervene” question? I don’t remember it…</p>

<p>For the ‘Prairie Fire’ passage, which question had the answer of “contradictory”? </p>

<p>Also, is everyone sure of the answer “soothing sun” in the ‘Tatoos’ passage? I clearly remember the passage using the word “pleasing” in the sentence, so I put something like “pleasing” as the answer.</p>

<p>Has anyone been able to find that passage online?</p>

<p>^ Yes… I read pleasing as well.</p>

<p>The answer was definitely pleasing. I doubt that soothing was even an answer choice, soothing and pleasing basically mean the same thing, so there’s no way they’d have pleasing and soothing as two answer choices.</p>

<p>I think the other other answer was sedating but I chose pleasing because that’s what the passage said</p>

<p>Some of the answers here are quite controversial…</p>

<p>For the tattoo section, is the question like “What is significant about lines…compared to the rest of the passage?” included in your list? It was the paragrpah talking about how the Polynesians no longer have tattoos now-a-days. One of the possible answers was along the lines of “It stated the grandma’s reasons for refraining from getting a tattoo.” The only other plausible one, which I chose,was “It discussed Polynesians in a cultural and geographic sense.” I’ll try to find the passage…</p>
