By Pythagorean theorem: a=5,c=13a=5, c=13. Then b=132−52=169−25=144=12b=\sqrt{13^2-5^2}=\sqrt{169-25}=\sqrt{144}=12. Cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse = 12/13. Since θ is acute, cosine is positive. Correct answer: A. ACT Math trig questions often rely on Pythagorean triples (5-12-13).

Substitute x=5x=5: f(5)=2(5)+3=10+3=13f(5)=2(5)+3=10+3=13. Correct answer: D. The others result from stopping early or adding incorrectly. ACT Math frequently asks for function evaluation—always substitute carefully.

The passage emphasizes the garden’s role in cultivating community and changing relationships—not only to food (“children… snack on tomatoes”) but also to neighbors (“to talk, or to stand quietly”). The author notes diverse motivations (“Some… come for the harvest; others… simply to water”) and a shared space that “shapes how people inhabit this place.” Choice B captures this dual transformation: connection with food and with one another. Choice A overstates the impact; the narrator explicitly concedes ongoing issues—“traffic fumes still drift”—so the garden doesn’t “completely solve” environmental problems. Choice C reduces the garden’s purpose to economics; while harvest is mentioned, the text foregrounds social and experiential benefits. Choice D prescribes a policy not implied by the passage; the reference to children is descriptive, not prescriptive, highlighting unexpected enjoyment rather than obligation. On ACT Reading, correct main-idea answers synthesize key details without exaggeration. Look for repeated concepts and authorial qualifiers (“does not erase”) that limit extreme claims. B aligns fully with the author’s balanced, community-centered perspective.

The text says “tool of progress” (positive) and “source of isolation” (negative). That indicates dual impact. Choice B reflects this nuance. A, C, and D exaggerate or ignore part of the description. On ACT Reading, duality and contrast often guide the correct answer.
