*OFFICIAL* September 2012 ACT English Section Discussion

<p>I’m pretty sure I put C.</p>

<p>@happyboym247 I put D on that one as well. You had to find where to keep the sentence in the passage. I put D, after the one sentence about her feeling like a million dollars.</p>

<p>Originally I put C, because at quick glance it made sense. When I looked carefully [C] was between the First sentence and the second sentence. Both those sentences were talking about the feeling of winning and all the awards you get from it. [D] is where it should be because its placed after she goes on talking about how she felt and what she go to do. </p>

<p>Anyone else know what I mean?</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the question where it asked which version was unacceptable? It had a comma version, period version, semi colon version, and another one. I said the semi colon one was unacceptable. Anyone know what I’m talking about?</p>

<p>@GoldenMonkey, it would be weird to close out the ENTIRE passage with that addition after D. I was almost certain that it was placed after C. Not only did she get to go on the trip, but she FELT like a million bucks (this describes a personal detail/feeling)</p>

<p>I agree with Sid, C seemed like a better place to put it. It was a personal accomplishment, which is why she felt like a million bucks. She didn’t feel like a million bucks because of her overnight trip.</p>

<p>what is the one that is not acceptable? contemplated to be (should it be have been?), considered, thought of as, regarded as</p>

<p>I go with considered cuz I think it should be considered as, not sure tho</p>

<p>i put considered as well but some say they put contemplated</p>

<p>for the one with “but rather” I think, what was the answer? I don’t remember which section.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the black gospel passage question in the beginning
Answer choices were
spirituals hymns(no change)
Spirituals; hymns
Spirituals, hymns</p>

<p>I can’t remember the whole question :/</p>

<p>its the last answer ''spirituals, hymns"</p>

<p>hymns is a clarification of spirituals, I definitely had to read that twice.</p>

<p>Is it singing, are singing, to be sung or another choice?</p>

<p>@Darthpwner: That was the only question I was really unsure of. I went with the answer choice that removed all commas. I remember two choices had a comma after “wasn’t,” which didn’t make any sense. After that, the only two choices were either to delete all commas or F) NO CHANGE, which had a comma after “but rather.”</p>

<p>Yeah I was stuck between those two and put the one with F) NO CHANGE but I really wasn’t sure. Oh well haha.</p>

<p>I put contemplated and are sung or something like that.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure it was “contemplated to be”</p>

<p>That just didn’t sound in any way right, whereas the others made sense.</p>

<p>Guys, please post the # and question then the answer below it. Having all of these words is meaningless without knowing what the question was.

  1. (of which) consisted of canoeing … etc. question
    That
    <strong><em>can someone explain why isn’t DELETE UNDERLINE portion?</em></strong>***</p>

<ol>
<li><p>who/whom question
Who</p></li>
<li><p>New music such as rythmn and blues (R&B), and soul
No comma</p></li>
<li><p>Repetitive, but not a bad tone
something about a ritual or routine</p></li>
<li><p>… but rather to…
No commas</p></li>
<li><p>short, loud verse</p></li>
<li><p>clothes of her own design</p></li>
<li><p>She designed + list of clothing
No change </p></li>
<li><p>Considered, thought of as, or contemplated to be not acceptable?
Contemplated to be</p></li>
<li><p>Spirituals, hymns</p></li>
<li><p>A genre based in rituals (are sung, singing, to be sung, sang) blah blah…</p>

<hr>

<p>I remembered the choices well cuz I really stuck on this question. I chose to be sung cuz based should be the verb in the sentence. Are sung is not right cuz it definitely said A GENRE, and singing and sang are not passive voice cuz genre cannot sing by themselves. Can someone counter or confirm?</p>

<li><p>After playing the game, our shoes were covered in red dirt, (so) our legs were colored red.
Previous posts said its (so), but I feel there is no cause-effect relationship so I put “with”, someone challenge this pls!!</p></li>
<li><p>What words to replace styles (appearances, variations, types)
Appearance</p></li>
<li><p>Which not acceptable (underscore, accentuate, appear)
Appear</p></li>
</ol>

<p>There shouldn’t be “so” or any word in that spot for question 12. That doesn’t make sense grammatically…</p>

<p>oooops my bad, it’s “so” in second part of sentence…</p>
