com to you ACTQuestionof the Day: July 31, 2010 Show Details Thank you for signing up for Test Prep Review's ACT Question of the Day email service. These questions are provided by Morrison Media, who publishes the ACT Secrets Study Guide and ACT Flashcard Secrets, both proven methods to help you get the results you want on the ACT. Today's question concerns English & Writing. The question/task is below: What are some common uses of the comma? Scroll down for the answer: Answer: 1. Commas may be used to separate the items in a sequence (three or more things). For example, "She went to the store, dropped off the clothes at the dry cleaners, and stopped by the post office." 2. Use a comma along with a conjunction (and, but, for, nor, yet, or, so) to connect two independent clauses. For example, "She wanted to go to the store, but she did not have a car." 3. Use a comma to set off introductory elements. For example, "Driving to the grocery store, she suddenly realized that she forgot her purse." 4. Use a comma to set off parenthetical elements. For example, "The Statue of Liberty, which stands in New York Harbor, was a gift to the United States."

Today's question concerns Science. The question/task is below: Describe the Hardy-Weinberg (& Castle) Theorem. Scroll down for the answer: Answer: Hardy-Weinberg (& Castle) Theorem - 1908, G. H. Hardy and W. Weinberg and W. Castle independently disproved the naive supposition that by numerical prevalence, an allele will become more common through time (i.e., gene frequencies change on their own, randomly) In the absence of evolutionary processes, gene frequencies will stay the same through time. Several assumptions are made: No mutation, No migration, No selection, No inbreeding (i.e., an infinitely large population), No drift (i.e. same as above), Completely random mating Three points made by the H-W theorem: 1. Allele frequencies do not change from one generation to the next 2. equilibrium genotype frequencies do not change and are given by the H-W formula 3. Equilibrium is attained in a single generation (if the allele frequencies are the same in both sexes)

The question/task is below: Describe the basics of ratios. Scroll down for the answer: Answer: We use ratios to make comparisons between two things. When we express ratios in words, we use the word "to" -- we say "the ratio of something to something else" -- for example, the ratio of squares to triangles in the illustration below. Ratios can be written in several different ways. Multiplying or dividing each term by the same nonzero number will give an equal ratio. For example, the ratio 2:4 is equal to the ratio 1:2. To tell if two ratios are equal, use a calculator and divide. If the division gives the same answer for both ratios, then they are equal.

These questions are provided by Morrison Media, who publishes the ACT Secrets Study Guide and ACT Flashcard Secrets, both proven methods to help you get the results you want on the ACT. Today's question concerns Math. The question/task is below: Discuss computing the mean (average), the median, the mode, and the range. Scroll down for the answer: Answer: The mean of a set of n numbers is the sum of the numbers divided by n. Example: Compute the mean of the following set of numbers: 25, 35, 55, 75, 80. (25 + 35 + 55 + 75 + 80) / 5 = 54/5 = 10.8. The median is the middle measurement when items are arranged in order of size. Example: Determine the median of the following set of numbers: 25, 55, 80, 35, 75. Arrange the numbers in order of size: 25, 35, 55, 75, and 80. The middle number, or mean is 55. The mode is the number that occurs most often in a group of numbers. Example: Determine the mode of the following set of numbers: 25, 55, 70, 24, 70. The number 70 occurs more frequently than the other numbers. Therefore, 70 is the mode. The range is the greatest number minus the least number in a group of numbers. Example: Determine the range of the following set of numbers: 25, 55, 65, 80. To compute the range, subtract the least number, 25, from the greatest number, 80. 80-25 = 55.

These questions are provided by Morrison Media, who publishes the ACT Secrets Study Guide and ACT Flashcard Secrets, both proven methods to help you get the results you want on the ACT. Today's question concerns English & Writing. The question/task is below: Describe a comma splice. Scroll down for the answer: Answer: A comma splice is the use of a comma between two independent clauses. A comma splice can typically be corrected by changing the comma to a period and therefore making the two clauses into two separate sentences, by changing the comma to a semicolon, or by making one clause dependent by inserting a dependent marker word in front of it. Incorrect: She eats an apple every day, it tastes delicious. Correct: She eats an apple every day. It tastes delicious. (or) She eats an apple every day; it tastes delicious. (or) She eats an apple every day, and it tastes delicious. (or) She eats an apple every day because it tastes delicious. (or) Because it tastes delicious, she eats an apple every day.

These questions are provided by Morrison Media, who publishes the ACT Secrets Study Guide and ACT Flashcard Secrets, both proven methods to help you get the results you want on the ACT. Today's question concerns Reading. The question/task is below: Discuss emotional words in reading passages. Scroll down for the answer: Answer: Each question will be about a different angle of the passage. For questions asking about the author's emotions, find words in the passage that are adjectives describing emotions. So, if a question asks what sort of attitude an author had towards the passage or subject, then look throughout the passage for attitude words that might convey a positive or negative attitude. Are words such as brilliant, excited, delightful used, or are words such as depressive, gloomy, disappointing used? A lot of questions could be answered correctly simply by going through and circling all the adjectives in a passage. Without looking at anything else except for the adjectives in a passage, most questions about attitude or emotion could be answered correctly. Another way of handling these situations is to arrange all of the answer choices in a list going from most negative to most positive. Example: The author's attitude on this topic is best described as: 1. Indignation 2. Eagerness 3. 4. Impartiality Fear from negative to positive:

Now arrange these in order ( - ) indignation, fear, impartiality, eagerness (+)

This will help sort out the different choices and keep you from overlooking an answer choice and making an easy mistake.

Today's question concerns English & Writing. The question/task is below: Describe noun-pronoun agreement in number. Scroll down for the answer: Answer: A pronoun must agree with its antecedent in number. If the antecedent is singular, the pronoun referring to it must be singular; if the antecedent is plural, the pronoun referring to it must be plural. Use singular pronouns to refer to the singular indefinite pronouns: each, either, neither, one, everyone, everybody, no one, nobody, anyone, anybody, someone, somebody. Examples: Each of the students bought their own lunch. (incorrect) Each of the students bought his own lunch. (correct) Use plural nouns to refer to the plural indefinite pronouns: both, few, several, many. Example: Both were within their boundaries.

The indefinite pronouns some, any, none, all, most may be referred to by singular or plural pronouns, depending on the sense of the sentence. Examples: Some of the children have misplaced their toy. (plural) Some of the carpet has lost its nap. (singular) Pronouns that refer to compound antecedents Example: Bill and Joe cook their own meals. joined by and are usually plural.

Prounouns that refer to compound antecedents joined by or or nor usually agree with the nearer antecedent. Examples: Neither Bill nor his friends cook their own meals. Neither Bill nor Joe cooks his own meals.
