**Official October 27 ACT English Discussion**

<p>ok now that it’s clarified i think i was debating between however and therefore. can’t remember what i put.</p>

<p>also i believe the answer to the rock n roll passage was “devise” because you cant label a nickname. you can label WITH a nickname but labelling a nickname has a different implication. devise also made more sense because it means to invent. he invented the nickname. your thoughts?</p>

<p>really can’t remember what i put, i know i was debating between those two.</p>

<p>oh, it was something about the fierce waterfalls and some other adjective showing the power of the water??? can’t remember what the answer was though…</p>

<p>what was the answer for the first question?</p>

<p>i just remember it being about the liberty bell on the train to wherever because it was like prominently featured or something?</p>

<p>EFFF I got 2-3 wrong so far English ughhh man</p>

<p>^First question was something like, “blah blah traveled by train <em>to be featured prominently</em> at blah blah”. The other option that I thought it could be was, “<em>prominently featured</em>”. I left as is though and chose A. Not sure if that’s right though.</p>

<p>i think it was “to be”</p>

<p>if you took out the adjectives describing the park/waterfalls, then i believe the passage lost details that unique for surviving that type of environemnt</p>

<p>speaking of unique, for the question that asked for an answer that made the bird described different from other songbirds is that it…?</p>

<p>The question from the passage about the southwestern architect that was like “she picked the rugs, the chairs,____”</p>

<p>I put D (plants…} or something like that.
What was it? I could’ve sworn all of the answer choices actually presented a new grammatical error. It really scared me. XD</p>

<p>Ugh i put devised then changed my answer to label…</p>

<p>@tropicalslushies, I completely forgot about that one. All of them seemed wrong to me, so I’m not sure what I put. I think I answered E though.</p>

<p>for the songbird one, I put however. “In contrast” and “however” in this case had different meanings. I think it started out with the bird takes water routes because they are shorter than land routes. So it made sense to say however, it zig zags thru water. This is because zig zagging (taking a longer route) would contradict its original logic of taking the water route since its faster. “In contrast” just doesn’t make sense.</p>

<p>@tropicalslushies I put D as well; it was the least grammatically incorrect ( I would’ve expected “and” before “the plants”) and the logic made sense since she was trying to be creative/toher liking and individualist. On the same passage, did you say she “took photos that inspired her” or something else? That question was pretty hard imo. I said what I said because the first few sentences were talking about how she picked this, she picked that, blah blah blah and my choice best exemplified her “creative spirit”</p>

<p>I got derived as well</p>

<p>Yeah, I think I remember answering “took photos that inspired her” to a question.</p>

<p>I think for both examples, the answer is “,such as:”</p>

<p>What was the answer to #38 about the bird’s trait of something enabled or “so far as enabling” or something like that? It was like “one of the traits…enable/enabled/”??? I put F because enabled didn’t match the tense and enable is gramatically incorrect since “one of” is singular, right? I can’t remember the third choice, but none of them made any sense to me regardless. = /</p>

<p>yeah i was confused by the question too. I chose “enable” as well since other choices seem obviously wrong. I think enable is not used in singular because it is explaining traits, which is plural</p>

<p>What are the answers to the two “such as” questions? I keep seeing differing opinions.</p>

<p>Idk why but I felt like there were typos in this test…</p>

<p>no commas in such as questions. Im like 95% sure. there was 1 type but it wasn’t anything big. They just typed half of a line and put the rest of it on the next line. so the formatting was the only typo</p>
