October ACT English Thread

<p>In 1986, Pei was one of twelve naturalized American citizens to receive the Medal of Liberty, presented at the 100th Anniversary of the Statue of Liberty by President Ronald Reagan, for his outstanding service as an architect.</p>

<p>Via google search…</p>

<p>So, did the text say medal of honor or liberty?</p>

<p>^ I’m trying really hard to remember that one but nothing is coming to mind…the only thing I can remember there was having to insert the phrase that conveyed a sense of cleanliness or orderliness or something like that…and the “talked favorably about” one too.</p>

<p>@user: it said medal of honor.</p>

<p>its said honor bc i think i remember thinking about the army…</p>

<p>Why does it matter whether it said honor or liberty? I don’t understand…</p>

<p>^ because if it were liberty, that sentence WOULD have to be included since it is pertinent to architecture.</p>

<p>@Underdong: It doesn’t. And it was Honor. I don’t remember it even mentioning the State of Liberty.</p>

<p>I remember the answer I put was
Should not be added because it doesn’t fulfill the expectation of the previous sentence</p>

<p>Was this right?</p>

<p>^ I put that…so I think so :)</p>

<p>I put that it would define the term contributions, because the sentence said something about his architecture not being the only thing he was recognized for.</p>

<p>I also put no because the sentence preceeding it sets up for a different sentence.</p>

<p>Edit:
Did we reach a decision about the landfill approving tone question? Was it the gate? I was debating between that and “after asking about the resources.” To me, “asking about the resources avaliable” fit the rest of the paragraph better, but I put the gate one because it seemed more positive.</p>

<p>I also put international cultural…in the same way you would say a “big green center.”</p>

<p>I put a celebration of.</p>

<p>How do you guys remember this stuff… lol</p>

<p>@kg: i believe I put the gate. I also put celebration of…and for the international cultural one, was that like a “no change”? I think I remember putting international cultural, but I’m not positive…I just remember I got a lot more A’s and F’s than I normally do on English.</p>

<p>What about the being on the farm one? Was the sentence necessary? I put yes, because it described the raising of her family, calm life or something… I forgot Dx</p>

<p>And anyone came to a decision about the celebration/to experience one, yet? I put celebration.</p>

<p>^agree with all of Vince and Mizzxvii answers</p>

<p>does anyone remember the exact wording of the “celebration of” question</p>

<p>Did is just say “which is most positive” or did it say something like “which is most positive and most appropriate”?</p>

<p>@mizz: I said that it was necessary because you needed it to understand the rest of the passage…if it had just said that she moved to california, you wouldn’t have understood the essay when it said that she had moved “to a back-to-basics lifestyle”</p>

<p>@mabs: I think it was something like this…“what phrase would best convey the positive feeling people had about buying property?”</p>

<p>crap…If that’s the case, “chance to experience” might have been a better answer</p>

<p>I put “celebration of” but I’m starting to doubt it now</p>

<p>was promote another word along with celebrating and chance?</p>

<p>@rawkfist-- i do not believe promote was an option.
I chose chance to experience. That was a very positive answer and also made a lot of sense in context.</p>
