September 2010 ACT English Discussion

<p>“were” was never an answer choice.</p>

<p>Ehh, well that’s at least -1 for me then, probably more like -3 which can still be 34.</p>

<p>What was the context to the question that “moreover” was the answer to??</p>

<p>^ Actually, context doesn’t matter. The mere fact that all the other choices were similar makes it so that moreover was the “stick out” choice.</p>

<p>^Hmmm, it escapes me now. All I know is that in my mind I thought that there had to be an adverb there but I guess having no adverb and just starting with “An” would be “acceptable,” even though it would destroy any connection between the 2 sentences.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I am 400% sure there was no choice that said “are”, I spent like 2 minutes looking for that answer choice and wondering why it was not an answer choice, and also, “were” was definitely an answer choice.</p>

<p>were was probably an answer for a different question then</p>

<p>@elbeeen: How is “An” similar to “however” and “even so?”</p>

<p>What did you guys pick for the question asking what taking out “The constellation name originated from…” would do? I put that it would remove an origin on how the constellation got it’s name.</p>

<p>@soccer, a transitional word wasn’t needed to make a good sentence. Using “moreover” would contradict the meaning of the word.</p>

<p>^that’s what i put tooooo</p>

<p>actpro—i am literally seeing the answer choices in my head. There is no “were”</p>

<p>@JDE: I put that it would take away from how the meteor shower got its name. It was called the Perseid Shower and saying that Perseid came from Perseus would explain it. Is this the same as what you put?</p>

<p>There were two choices. One said “It would take away from how the COMET got its name”, and the other said “It would take out the origin of the name of the constellation”.</p>

<p>the last answer was D right? I knew i was wrong but it was too late to change to answer</p>

<p>if we are talking about the same question, I guarantee you one of the choices was “were”. </p>

<p>well no use arguing, i think am right though, whatever.</p>

<p>^Yea whatever. That question was an easy one so even if we confused the words up, I’m sure we both got the answer right</p>

<p>I don’t know how you can remember the questions in so much detail!
All I know is that if the English section is a challenge for you, make a list of all the word patterns they ask you about - parallel structure, misplaces modifiers, ect.
The first time I took the test I got a 32 - that’s not very high, but I know I can do better. Hopefully, I can at least get a 34 this time!</p>

<p>What was the awnser to that question:
across america
or
to america</p>

<p>I put “to” was wrong</p>

<p>what about the one with the comets and you had to pick which one could not be used</p>

<p>did you pick the one with the :
or the one that said as a result</p>

<p>^the above two posts are correct.</p>
