September 2010 ACT Reading Discussion

<p>I also put reading novels</p>

<p>Ok, other answers I remember:
-Back of envelopes (for the mother’s journals)
-Age and composition (for the fish’s teeth thing)</p>

<p>What did people get for the strontium one?</p>

<p>^I agree with both of your answers.</p>

<p>Strontium was for telling what the age of the teeth was, I think.</p>

<p>Agree with all of that, also an answer with “were wrong and surprised so they adjusted their hypothesis accordingly”</p>

<p>alright to all those who say i’m wrong… the answer said he felt a connection similar to that of his cousins in INDIA. That one country messes up the word. First of all… where the heck does it say he went to india and felt something for his cousins IN INDIA? He’s talking about friends and family in america all through out that passage.</p>

<p>Yeah it was they looked at the data and revised their hypothesis.</p>

<p>necroblood; I think you are mixing up two different questions.</p>

<p>^^^^ That’s what I put too; something about decay was a major misleader that I almost fell for.</p>

<p>I know you are all excited about specific answers, but since i am not very good with deciding on what curves a test will likely be (first time ACT) can someone please tell me what they think a plausible curve would be? Best curve? Worst curve?</p>

<p>Was the answer for the grandma that she only recorded a portion of her life? Also, what was the terminal me-ness answer?</p>

<p>@ billabong, i got that answer first, then changed it i think i hate it when i do that lol</p>

<p>

It specifically said in the first (or second) passage that he originally felt about her like he felt about his cousins in India. I’m sorry but you’re wrong.</p>

<p>^I agree that it only represented a portion of her life.</p>

<p>I said that terminalness was extreme self-centerdness, but I’m not sure.</p>

<p>For the terminl me-ness is said it was sheer self-centeredness Im not sure though</p>

<p>Me-ness I put self centeredness</p>

<p>

Yeah, she only recorded a portion of here life and I think I put like she focused on herself for that terminal me-ness question.</p>

<p>-.-
alright fine disagree with the dude who’s been getting perfects on the act reading, and has a 2400 on his sat. Read the book, find the passage. And read it. No in the passage it says he felt for her like family. Cousins in India? No where to be found.</p>

<p>i put self-centeredness too, the other answers were illogical based on the info in the passage</p>

<p>Necro I’m sorry but your wrong regardless of your “credentials”.</p>

<p>I’ll see if I can put up a scan of that passage to prove my point.</p>

<p>What about the why the girl was reluctant to play jingle bells?</p>
