ACT Preparation / Unit 5 ACT 0420 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Meeting a Goal
Captions available
The idea
A question may name a goal and ask whether the passage meets it. The test is that goal, not the passage's quality.
In practice
A clear, lively history of a bridge does not meet the goal of explaining how bridges carry weight.
Where people slip
Answer from what the passage does as a whole, not from one sentence that touches the goal.
