ACT Question of the Day :
The best answer is J. The last 30+ lines of the passage focus on this issue. H is simply not true: the children are speaking to Mrs. Sennett, not the narrator. There is no indication that they are reluctant to leave, which rules out G. F can be eliminated because the children do not seem offended by Mrs. Sennett's words; it is more likely that they are merely continuing their manipulative behavior (see lines 79, 81–83).

The correct answer is (D).
Getting to the Answer:Examine the entire clause in which the underlined portion appears. The Erie Canal did two things: "connected New York City with ..." and "turned villages ...." The two phrases of this compound must be in parallel form and convey the intention of the sentence: the villages became boomtowns.
(A) Incorrect: "turned villages ... that were ..." is not in the same grammatical form as "connected New York City with ..." and confuses the intended meaning by stating that Rochester and Buffalo were already boomtowns
(B) Incorrect: "turned villages ... which became ..." is not in the same grammatical form as "connected New York City with ..."
(C) Incorrect: although "turned villages ... around ... " is in the same grammatical form as "connected New York City with ... ," this choice misinterprets the meaning of the sentence; the intention of the sentence is that Rochester and Buffalo became boomtowns, not that they were "around," or near, boomtowns
(D) Correct: "turned villages ... into ..." is in the same grammatical form as "connected New York City with ..." and conveys the intended meaning of the sentence

Huge thank you to everyone who made last night’s 8th Grade Transition Night at Daniel Boone High School a success! 🎉 A special shout-out to all the clubs and sports teams that came together to welcome our future freshmen and show them what Boone is all about. ❤️💛 #TEAM
Daniel Boone High School is proud to announce that senior Ella Yankee has been accepted to Vanderbilt University through Early Decision II! This fall, Ella will join the Commodore Class of 2030 in Nashville, Tennessee. Ella plans to major in Neuroscience on a pre-medical track, a decision deeply inspired by the world-class research conducted at the Vanderbilt Brain Institute on neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson's Disease.
"I'm excited to study the brain in an environment where research and real patient care are deeply intertwined, " Ella says. "I learned early on that balance isn't just something you find; it's something you practice for others. I cannot wait to join the Motor Learning & Plasticity Lab to explore how we can restore that balance and provide steadiness to those who need it most."
Beyond her academic pursuits, Ella has been a pillar of the arts at Daniel Boone. A four-year member of the chorus, she currently leads our school's premier a cappella group, Reflections. At Vanderbilt, she looks forward to maintaining that harmony between top-tier academics and her passion for music, with plans to audition for groups like Spectrum A Cappella and VOCE A Cappella.
We look forward to seeing Ella "Dare to Grow" as she begins her journey. Anchor Down!
