<p>Everybody who is international and took the ACT discuss English section here!</p>
<p>Do you remember that question?
The one which said, its/ it’s mouth?
Although it’s shows possession, I bubbled its. I dunno if thats right!</p>
<p>its is right
what did you put for clasping or sticking to? THAT ONE is SO confusing!</p>
<p>sticking to</p>
<p>clasping is more of an active verb</p>
<p>sand cannot clasp</p>
<p>i thought it was clasping because it was supposed to show personification…the tone was very figurative so it kinda fits</p>
<p>i sort of rmb that the other three were active verbs, only sticking to was a passive verb</p>
<p>hmm will english have +1 curve?</p>
<p>“the sand was clasping his calves like a sand sculpture” how ambiguous is that?
i mean sticking to also works but clasping sounds like you can actually imagine the sand doing something…i really dont know im an english noob</p>
<p>lol how on earth is it possible for you to rmb the test in such detail. i’m amazed!!</p>
<p>clasp
1.Grasp (something) tightly with one’s hand
2.Place (one’s arms) around something so as to hold it tightly
5.Fasten (something) with a small device, typically a metal one </p>
<p>i’m not entirely sure, but i dont think a sand sculpture can do that. but then again ‘sticking to his calves like a sand sculpture’ sounds dumb LOL</p>
<p>edit: what was the original word? do you rmb?</p>
<p>I bubbled in stick too.
Clasp, as sghopeful has mentioned already, sounds more like, claws are clasping or something like that.
Did any of you give the writing?</p>
<p>lol that question is really ambiguous…anyone wrote clasping???</p>
<p>You know, its just the three of us, I think who gave the International ACT! :P</p>
<p>Nobody else seems to respond!</p>
<p>hmm…
I put ‘sticking’</p>
<p>I was confused by this one(a passage about Miami Indians):
There were nine of us all together we were talking and singing and blah blah blah</p>
<p>1) there were nine of us, all together we…
2) there were nine of us all together; we …
3) there were nine of us. All together we… (I don’t exactly remember if this one was an option)</p>
<p>any ideas?</p>
<p>aww man so it is sticking to? i hope english has +1 curve
i put there were nine of us; we… it makes perfect sense</p>
<p>yeahhh i selected the option with the semicolon. i believe you were meant to string two independent ideas together</p>
<p>i think that might be wrong…actually it sounds more right saying: there were nine of us altogether not all together…
just thought about it now</p>
<p>oh gosh, but i rmb that sounded the most grammatically correct. it was almost like two sentences kind of.</p>
<p>i remember the choices kind of:
A. There were nine of us all together we sat down…
B. There were nine of us all together, we sat down…
C. There were nine of us all together; we sat down…
D. There were nine of us all together: we sat down…</p>
<p>Im not sure though…I don’t remember one with “There were nine of us. All together we sat down…”</p>
<p>All together means “together in a single group.” Altogether means “completely” or “in all.”</p>
<p>reference: All Together or Altogether? </p>
<p>that means we’re right! LOL</p>
<p>I hope so…</p>
