September 2011 ACT Discussion and Socres

<p>There were 2 types of theaters. At one theater, he is one of MANY directors. At the other, he is THE director. They were specifically asking about the theater where he is one of many directors. NOT the one where he is the director.
As you should all know by now, the makers of the ACT love to trick people. They italicized the word to make it a trick question- they knew that you would be led to believe that he was THE only director. Trust me, I have extended time and I spent about 15 minutes on that question. I read that paragraph about 8 times.</p>

<p>was that question #10?</p>

<p>Quick question about the play director question in the Reading Test. What was the answer to the question about inferring what he did with his family every spring. I thought that inferring meant going beyond what was said in the text, so I put host a play at the barn instead of moving to the summer home because that was specifically stated in the next line. ???</p>

<p>For the math question, what was the one with the tangent line equal to the circle. The answer choices like 5sqrt5 and 7.5 or something</p>

<p>For reading, was the guy confident in his ability to get the church people there. What was ‘now or never’</p>

<p>For the language of the non-synthesitcs, was it that they were just using metaphorical language to describe?</p>

<p>I put that he hosts a play at the barn too</p>

<p>For english, what was the one about the availability of corn? I put like the farmers had stands in september through july or something</p>

<p>@scholar20 - now or never meant that this was his last chance to prove that having a summer theater at the barn was desirable to the lake community. </p>

<p>the math answer was 5sqrt5</p>

<p>AnonymousStudent is ridiculously arrogant and hyper. I can’t imagine him in real life, let alone a forum.</p>

<p>Ok, those were my answers too</p>

<p>In english, the one about Dent Corn and Placement in the paragraph, was that B?</p>

<p>^yes, thats right</p>

<p>The availability writing question was having corn on the market in the stated months.
The dent corn and placement question - it should have been placed before sentence 1.</p>

<p>Was it ‘accounts for’ the majority of the corn in the fields?</p>

<p>and the one with alfred hitchock. was it ‘as’ he featured himself in comic situations or ‘which’ he featured himself in comic situations:</p>

<p>“Short and unspoken” or “Brief and silent.” I said the former, for sure. Thoughts?</p>

<p>Silent is too strong of a claim, in my opinion. However, they did reference an article where he was in a newspaper. So, what does this come down to?</p>

<p>@corn on the market like on stands? I believe it was answer choice C</p>

<p>CentralFC -I put brief and silent. I don’t think you can say something like “unspoken cameo” because that just doesn’t make any sense.</p>

<p>The science passage about light reflections or whatever? I don’t even know… I literally had a mushroom cloud exploding from my head. What was that passage all about?</p>

<p>@ central, that was my logic. I also put “as” instead of “which” to start off the sentence.</p>
