<p>What is the correct answer, and why is it the correct answer?</p>

<p>Rosie, it turns out, is a desert tortoise that my grandmother had “started raising” over twenty years ago.</p>

<p>Which of the following alternatives to the underlined portion would NOT be acceptable?
F)begun to raise
G)started to raise
H)started up raising
J)begun raising</p>

<p>I will not give the answer because I hate seeing people post questions with the answer right away, lowering my benefit from answering the question.</p>

<p>Bump 10 char</p>

<p>H.
Started up raising</p>

<p>I say that because the rest are acceptable.
Started up raising also doesn’t sound right at all.</p>

<p>You can’t start up raising something.</p>

<p>Here is a better way to look at it:
Change all of the verbs to present tense.</p>

<p>begin to raise – good
start to raise – good
begin raising – good</p>

<p>start up raising-- bad</p>

<p>bump 10 chaR</p>

<p>start up raising just sounds stupid in that context to me. What are you exactly worried about for the ACT?</p>

<p>My goal is to get 33+ and I only have a 32 and I’m really nervous about my Reading aCT(29)</p>

<p>Have you tried reading more challenging literature and practicing your grammar (I don’t know the difference between the English and Reading sections)? Try that and you should be good, I think.</p>
