September 2010 ACT Reading Discussion

<p>Anyone want to make a consolidated list of answers? It’ll help the newcomers and I think we must have answered 25+ questions by now.</p>

<p>^Thanks! I knew i could count on you pal ;)</p>

<p>^ I’m on my iPod: it would take like a year. :(</p>

<p>This is all I have so far; it’s a little over half I think.</p>

</p>

<p>What question was this?</p>

<p>How much can you miss on the Reading to still get about a 28?</p>

<p>^ like 11-12?</p>

<p>^^^It asked what the article’s function was… I couldn’t remember the exact phrasing so I just put “described the flight”</p>

<p>^^Normally around 8-10, I think</p>

<p>Edit: does anyone remember the “line 21…character means?” question? A couple of pages back someone said it meant quality so I just put it on the list, but I don’t remember the question or the other answers</p>

<p>i think i got it wrong then :S</p>

<p>^^ It was talking about how the fish teeth (or something) had the same character of something else and asked what character most nearly meant. The answer was quality. I don’t remember the other choices though.</p>

<p>what was the one that asked about the indian girl’s personality?</p>

<p>@acttester… what passage was that from ?</p>

<p>^^I don’t remember the question you’re referring to</p>

<p>^The drake passage passage</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>What? I thought we agreed the answer was Role. Or i am talking about a different question?</p>

<p>she didn’t say what her diary at age 20 contained</p>

<p>was this from the question that said “Which one wasn’t answered”</p>

<p>-Why aunt didn’t send of her novels
-forms of journal keeping</p>

<p>what are the other two choices? I don’t remember what I put</p>

<p>

Umm, could someone give us all the options and the what the line specifically said? Maybe that’ll jumpstart my memory.</p>

<p>^^^Was there a consensus on role? I don’t remember.</p>

<p>^so LaTina was right. The sending her novels was a different question. My bad LaTina. If it helps, I think you’re hot.</p>

<p>wait so the sending the novels was a different question from “writing in the journal at age 20 thing”</p>

<p>Umm the consensus I thought was quality! the question was like Atlantic compared to pacific “character”, about the waters.</p>

<p>

Umm, what? I thought we were talking about the fish teeth passage not the diary one. :confused:</p>
