Explanation for Question 45 From the Reading Section on the 2017 April Sat
Okay. So like take a look at question number 45. 2 It can be reasonably inferred from the passage that Martin's research interest in lignin 3 should be considered. What, so looking at the research interests detail, 4 this tells us that we want to go back and look at how his 5 experimental process started out and exactly what, 6 um, the scientists were hoping to find here. 7 Um, so we see that actually the 8 scientist did not set out to locate like Nin. 9 Um, they were rather trying to understand a different phenomenon. 10 Um, but then over the course of their study, 11 when they examine these joints of the, 12 of the algae, that's when they kind of came across this finding. 13 So we can see that this wasn't their original focus of the study, 14 but something that kind of came about over time. 15 So answer twice a unusually insightful because it has fundamentally changed 16 the way lignin is understood. 17 Um, while it is definitely true that this finding has informed a lot of 18 new thinking on evolution and, and LinkedIn. 19 Um, we don't want to say that it's changed the way lignin is understood 20 or even fundamentally changed the way lignin is understood. 21 Most of the findings that are discussed in this passage are more geared towards 22 what it told us about evolution rather than changing the way lignin itself is 23 actually understood. So I, as incorrect, 24 um, answer choice, be somewhat questionable because Martin based his conclusions on an atypical 25 sample, we do...
