<p>I am using this for prep and I have to say I hate it. They have some weird stuff on the tests that don't happen on the Real ACts, I've seen a few questions where you had to choose between a period and semicolon, and I don't think that ever happens on the actual tests.</p>
<p>Another question on there is just plain damn weird.</p>
<p>Accordingly others claim that they're attempting to rise validate and therefore reinforce the class system.</p>
<p>f. no change
g. they
c. those who are
d. their</p>
<p>That sentence just confuses me; shouldn't there be some commas in that thing? And I can't really tell what the right answer is.</p>
<p>There are also some questions where the other answer choices are so absurd I bust out laughing while taking the test. The real acts never have stuff on them that are that off.</p>
<p>what’s the right answer in the book?</p>
<p>Apparently c. Which, correct me if I am wrong, would make a sentence fragment?</p>
<p>its not a fragment if you put the commas in logical places:</p>
<p>Accordingly, others claim that those who are attempting to rise validate, and therefore, reinforce the class system.</p>
<p>I agree the sentence looks dumb without commas.</p>
<p>Is kaplan even good prep? Should I be doing Kaplan’s or doing other books? I have Barron’s Real ACT, PR, and PR 1296 book. Kaplan’s just seems stupid.</p>
<p>That looks a bit weird to me too…
I liked the Real ACT Prep Guide that’s published by the people behind the actual ACT. :)</p>
<p>Yeah, I went for C, but the lack of commas is really confusing.</p>
<p>Can someone explain that one to me though? I am still a bit confused.</p>
<p>It looked like a fragment to me, too. But I was reading it wrong. “Other claim” is the main subject and verb. For the sake of understanding the sentence, replace “those who are attempting to rise” with “they” or “people” or something like that. Strip away some of the extra words and you’re left with:</p>
<p>[…] others claim that [people] validate and […] reinforce […].</p>
<p>Get it? Now, the correct answer is C. Let’s throw that back in-</p>
<p>[…] others claim that [those who are attempting to rise] validate and […] reinforce […].</p>
