<p>Was it really about which would not fit…</p>
<p>Wow. Now I’m mad lol. It always seems to take me a bit to realize on practice exams that these questions say NOT, but I still always see it in the end. I spent like 2 - 3 minutes on this question and somehow I didn’t see that.</p>
<p>Sigh. Ty though.</p>
<p>Whats the correct punctuation for that one question on the Chanel passage. </p>
<p>it was like:
She designed (then a list of all the things)</p>
<p>choices:
No change
All the things she made were:
forgot answer choice C…
She designed: </p>
<p>But i was confused on this one.</p>
<p>for #1 was the answer clothing of her own design? instead of just clothing (which was the original)</p>
<p>Nivers, if I remember correctly I put No change. Not sure though </p>
<p>Maiden, I think all 3 of the options besides no change were something along those lines, I don’t remember the options or my answer but it definitely wasn’t A</p>
<p>@maiden</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure that’s what I put. I chose the most concise one that wasn’t the original.</p>
<p>@marcut the other ones were the ones with extra fluff like “her own clothing of her making” or something where ACT wants you to pick the one thats concise</p>
<p>idk how i did but this is the first time i finished 5mins early and didn’t have to guess single one! last time i guessed 10+ question, so i hope this time the result will be better unless SCIENCE dissolves it!</p>
<p>(of which) consisted of canoeing … etc.</p>
<p>the answer was either
c) that
d) delete the underlined portion
^ copied from Maiden.
Are we reaching the consensus that it is C? cuz i put D. T.T</p>
<p>I’m probably wrong, but doesn’t there need be a complete sentence before a colon, making “She designed:” incorrect?</p>
<p>i think i put D, but at the final moment i corrected 2 or 3, so it might be one of them! XD</p>
<p>@njor well i thought designed was short, precise and matched well!</p>
<p>@njordaer</p>
<p>There needs to be a complete sentence before a semicolon, not a colon, though I still think the colon was wrong for reasons I’m not entirely sure of. That, and the fact that I was positive that using comma’s does work, so it was better to chose that one than one I was iffy about.</p>
<p>Guys, let’s start compiling a list of the questions and answers instead of everyone posting individual questions, many of which have been on the same thing. I’m not good at recalling questions from memory, but if someone can help get a list started, I can usually start to remember the stuff.</p>
<p>Colons are used when you want to use a “list” there were WAY too many items listed</p>
<p>you MUST have a complete sentence before a colon ( just like a semicolon) But unlike a semicolon that requires a complete sentence after it as well, you do not need a complete sentence after the colon.</p>
<p>Page 20 of Barron’s 36: “Complete sentences (independent clauses) always precede colons!”</p>
<p>yep njor is right you must have an independent clause before a colon</p>
<p>REALLY shoulda known this…but was it who or whom…</p>
<p>I didn’t think any punctuation was necessary there. “She designed blah, blah, blah, blah, and blah.” is grammatically correct isn’t it?</p>
<p>@Shroud I think it was who</p>
