<p>I put stops absorbing water.</p>
<p>You are supposed to use the passage, not use prior knowledge. Even though your statement might be true, it doesn’t mean it’s the correct true answer if you get what I mean.</p>
<p>@bearonion that is correct. That’s why the “imply” statement is rarely thrown out in the ACT, but when it is, you should use some common sense.</p>
<p>I too, got a 35 on my last reading test. </p>
<ol>
<li>All it said was that water would form water drops after reaching saturation point.</li>
<li>As reminder, clouds and mist are actually condensed water, the two are not neccessarily exclusive.</li>
<li>By definition (this is the READING section, let me remind you) saturation means: " the presence in air of the most water possible under existent pressure and temperature " - Merrian Webster</li>
</ol>
<p>I also think many of you are miswording and oversimplifying the cloud question as well. Look at the obvious (which the ACT usually rewards you for), and stop defending a bad choice in common sense.</p>
<p>“Poetry passage paragraph describing how she learned about nature through poetry I said poetry provides a link between real things and nature or something.”</p>
<p>Which one was this again? If it’s the one I’m thinking of, I said that it connected disparate experiences or something.</p>
<p>@questionmark: if I remember correctly, I thought it was if it is under the saturation point, it would form mists and clouds. I don’t remember anything in the passage about the air absorbing water under the saturation point. Please correct me if I’m wrong…
So the most logical inference BASED ON THE PASSAGE would be that if it is over, then no mists would form.</p>
<p>Which answer did you put, thequestionmark?</p>
<p>@ap</p>
<p>I believed it ask what would happen when it reached the _______point.</p>
<p>K, im not gonna argue anymore. We’ll just wait until Dec. 28 to see who’s right. :)</p>
<p>i wish more people were writing answers… it seems this board is dead</p>
<p>it seems like both answers are right…</p>
<p>any other opinions?</p>
<p>I put that it can’t absorb any more water. Have any of you guys ever taken chemistry? If you had, the “can’t absorb any more water” answer would become immediately obvious to you. Supersaturation implies that the cloud can’t absorb anything more.</p>
<p>Though it probably means little to nothing in the context of this discussion, I got a 36 Reading on my last ACT.</p>
<p>if some people didn’t take chemistry, then they may not know what saturated is, and in conclusion that question could have been misleading.</p>
<p>R u guys sure about the passage mentioning the mist/clouds? Cause if what u said is true, it seems like there are 2 possible answers.</p>
<p>I hope “stop absorbing water” is correct though</p>
<p>yeah, i think since there’s such a strong dispute about it, there could be a situation where a 39 is a 36.</p>
<p>You don’t need to have taken chemistry to know what the word “saturated” means. And besides, the meaning of that word was implicit in the passage.</p>
<p>I am fairly certain the answer was would not absorb any more water. the question did say what could be reasonably inferred. And, i believe something that helped provide evidence followed the term in the passage.</p>
<p>What was the answer to the one where the scientist Belee was talking about the extinct species??? Was the answer
a) the species extinction
b) a scientists theory</p>
<p>(something along those lines)</p>
<p>2 questions:
On the poetry passage, what did you guys put for the question regarding the attitude that poetry is “far away” ??</p>
<p>On the space travel passage, what did you put for the question about the zoologist’s quote? Extinction of animal species? Last human on earth? </p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
