September 2010 ACT English Discussion

<p>^I don’t feel like giving one. Im too tired</p>

<p>^^ Could you tell us what the Form Code for the Sunday test ends up being? Like, for example, ours today was Form 68D.</p>

<p>oo cmonn airfreshner!</p>

<p>Answer my question and yes ill tell you!</p>

<p>^finnnnneeee…</p>

<p>What is your question redjohn? Also, please let us know your Form Code tomorrow.</p>

<p>Guys, answer his question!</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>

</p>

<p>Okay. This is true. However, that is not the issue we’re dealing with. You’re overthinking it. For questions like these, you need to learn what an appositive is. An appositive, which in this case is “and some people started riding”, is really the nonessential part of the sentence. Hence both commas around the phrase are necessary.</p>

<p>ohh!! kk I didn’t realize that was a nonessential phrase. Probably would have been more clear with the whole passage at my disposal. </p>

<p>hehe well gnite everyone! Let you guys know the form code tomorrow, even though I’m not too sure the importance</p>

<p>Wait a sec. Appositive? I thought those things were called asides… Whatever, at least I know the principle.</p>

<p>^^ Believe me, it’s important for some research on ACT Forms I’m doing. Oh and good luck!</p>

<p>anyone recall the last houdini question about his legacy or something :/</p>

<p>^What were the options?</p>

<p>no change was to keep it reinvent himself; it …</p>

<p>and I the only other one I considered was reinvent; which lead to legacy… Hard to remember >.></p>

<p>does anyone remember what the answer to the question that had something like this as one of the choices…</p>

<p>“not surprisingly, she didn’t get the popularity she wanted.” ?</p>

<p>and another one where the choice was “she told the audience what they wanted to hear.” </p>

<p>or something among those lines…it was for the one with england and americans…</p>

<p>what was the point of that passage anyway… at first i thought it was about england thinking they were superior… but then it talks about how the subject of the passage wrote good stuff about americans? …</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I put that “despite her expectations, her book was not received with good comments” or something like that.</p>

<p>^ I think that’s wrong, sorry. I put something like she gave her audience what they wanted to hear… because earlier in the passage it said how British people liked to see how much better they are compared to Americans.</p>

<p>The question asked for why her book was such a success, so it should be because she gave them what they wanted to hear?</p>

<p>^that’s a different question. I am talking about another quesiton</p>

<p>Was there an answer like “to poke fun at Americans”?</p>
