Official October ACT Reading Thread

<p>ya definitely sure…cgb8007 has the wording of the right answer^</p>

<p>what was the answer for #40, about native things in hawaii</p>

<p>choices were like… sugarcane, some type of palm tree, etc, anyone remember?</p>

<p>yeah they say that but then they contradict in the last sentence
“Or are they, like photographs, a mix of fact, error and wishful illusion?”</p>

<p>“Few buildings, at least before photography, were observed with more passionate care. In his on-site drawings, Saenredam seems intent on getting every last little thing down, with epic results.”</p>

<p>^That’s the line from the passage. The question asked about photography not about actual photographs and as u can see he states that they werent observed with passionate care when using photgraphy</p>

<p>daps - It was A. I found it in the passage. I can’t remember what it was though. It was the first type of palm tree, and it had one letter and then a period, then the name. Like S. Palm… I can’t remember though</p>

<p>Does anyone remember which letters the answers to 38 and 40 were? I ran out of time and blindly guessed.</p>

<p>Okay, so 40 was A–I guessed wrong…</p>

<p>Do you remember what the answer to 38 was?</p>

<p>so what’s the answer to the photography question???</p>

<p>i think im wrong about the photography question. the author clearly stated that he believed photographs to be a mix of illusion…etc.</p>

<p>its not the painting is more realistic one. the question was referring to photography(u kno actually taking snapshots with a camera lol) not actual photos so every1 mustve been tricked thinking they were referring to the paintings.</p>

<p>Not to toot my own horn here or anything but I have made a 36 on reading two times in a row, and I think I know what the answer was to the photography question. It was saying he believed photography was less realistic, more dilluted. That is at least what I put. Who knows!?</p>

<p>helvetica …ur right i got a 36 once before on reading</p>

<p>I’m with helvetica.</p>

<p>so what’s the consensus to the photography question?</p>

<p>What do you guys do for the reading? Are you just faster readers? Skim the passage and look for the question’s context?</p>

<p>I tried working backwards since I heard the prose fiction is usually the hardest and throws people off, but I heard that this passage was insanely easy. Unfortunately, I was still not able to finish the reading passage :(. Had to guess on about half of the 1st passage.</p>

<p>on the sep act the prose fiction was impossibly hard but this time it was very easy. bad luck u have lmao i just read the passage and answer idk fast reader i guess</p>

<p>Dont read it word for word. Get the general idea of each paragraph and then answer the questions. You’ll remember where to look back for the answer most of the time.</p>

<p>Was “passed down by generations” for dance on question 10 answer G?</p>

<p>i don’t understand why passed down by generations is right. i was between that and the narrator making up the dances because it mentioned the actual dance troupe. i put down narrator because she said she was the singer dancer blah blah blah</p>

<p>What about the social expirement question from the harlem passage. Was the answer paying the writers or the entertaining Americans? I thought there was a word that was put in the entertaining Americans answer that made me think it was wrong.</p>

<p>the answer is presenting a job opp. for unemployed americans</p>
