Official October ACT Reading Thread

<p>the tone was one of admiration because the author kept using choice words that made the harlem renaissance sound really good.</p>

<p>@thequestionmark: I put detached as that seemed like the answer at the time, but most have agreed that it is admiration</p>

<p>I said admiration. <em>fingers crossed</em></p>

<p>He was too biased in the fact that he thought that the WPA was a great idea and the fact the the harlem renaissance was great to be detached.</p>

<p>At the time admiration seemed like the only logical choice to me since the author was stating that there was a Harlem renaissance that was missed by scholars(I think another similar term was used instead of scholars), that would have been his personal opinion and it seemed as if he admired the writers and their subjects from this second renaissance.</p>

<p>It’s definitely admiradtion, throughout the passage I felt a sense of admiration and respect towards what was being discussed, and most people on the site agree</p>

<p>How are you guys 100% sure that a wrong answer is correct??</p>

<p>NOWEHERE in the passage did they mention state archives…</p>

<p>bear</p>

<p>its a fact that the state archives were mentioned</p>

<p>Ouch…I suck at reading…can anyone tell me what -7 is likely to be? The curve will be more harsh this time around…so like a 28-29? It would be great if it were 30…</p>

<p>It said to infer</p>

<p>Even the “inference questions” are ALWAYS somehow either explicitly stated or rephrased, so state archives is 100% incorrect</p>

<p>I do not think state archives were specifically mentioned adil91, the answer had to be infered based off of what the other said about where the works of other authors went.</p>

<p>The passage DID mention state archives. It wasn’t in the last paragraph though…I think it was in the 2nd to last paragraph or something. They said that after the WPA lost support, a lot of the authors’ works got sent to state archives and were forgotten. I remember that bit of info very clearly, because I was stuck on that question as well.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure they were.</p>

<p>The author stated that other works went to places like state arhives?(I cant rember the exact examples used) therefore you could infer that her work went to similar places…Nnone of the other choices made sense…</p>

<p>Anyways</p>

<p>One the dutch artist passage what did ya’ll but for the sarcastic, ironic or literal one(painted churches, his paintings were about churches)</p>

<p>i put the literal were about churches one.</p>

<p>I agree with the people who say state archives as well. I remember reading specifically from the passage about it.</p>

<p>^that was it.</p>

<p>Yeah, it was literal his paintings had churches in them…</p>

<p>In the first passage, how was the seagulls/beach thing not the first event that happened?</p>
