September 2010 ACT English Discussion

<p>As a result was the only wrong answer I remember.</p>

<p>did anyone else read this post? hahaha</p>

<p>

I thought you said the answer was “;as a result”?</p>

<p>hey guys on the second to last question of the english section it said "elizabeth was a surprising writer. " and then two of the answer choices continued the sentence with “while she”… were you supposed to combine sentences or keep it the same?</p>

<p>JDE: I never said that.
I said it with a colon. With a semicolon, “as a result” would make sense and would be correct. With a colon, not so much.</p>

<p>I don’t remember the passage, but there was a question that was “If … ,adjective clause starting with the word more, rest of sentence” and the phrase in commas was underlined. Was the answer A (no change)? At first, I was confused, but then I saw that the comma was underlined, so none of the answer choices were correct because they would take away the commas around the adjective clause. Am I correct?</p>

<p>^are you talking about this question: </p>

<p>“If communities provided the facilities, and people started riding, benefits would contribute to reduce air pollution…”?
Is this the quesiton? IF so, your answer is correct</p>

<p>^ Yes, that was it. Thanks!</p>

<p>“Symbol” was a correct answer right?</p>

<p>^that was in the english section. lol</p>

<p>i put symbol too,nice</p>

<p>^^ This is the english discussion, lol</p>

<p>oh whoops. I thought this was reading lol i can’t read</p>

<p>is there any place to discuss the essay from today’s test?
…or is that “stricitly probihited”?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>But I thought a comma and conjunction connects two independent clauses. Surely ‘If communities provided the facilities’ isn’t an independent clause. Neither is the other half of the sentence actually :confused: hmmmmm…HELP!</p>

<p>:( im taking test tommorow and want to go to sleep, but I can’t without understanding my question :(</p>

<p>Wuhhht? lol how are you taking it tomrrow?</p>

<p>^ACT’s tomorrow???</p>

<p>I’m calling the bet that redjohn gets a perfect score!</p>

<p>haha</p>

<p>I’m a Sunday test taker, and no they change the tests :confused: though your claim is still a possibility :slight_smile: (unlikely however)</p>

<p>ANYWAY MY QUESTION IS STILL IN NEED OF AN ANSWER</p>
