Explanation for Question 51 From the Reading Section on the 2017 April Sat
Question number 51 as he is in line 76 strong 2 most nearly means what? So taking a look at 1 76 3 strong is being used in the context of evidence. 4 So we see our tones evidence for lignin is considered 5 to be exceptionally strong. So strong here again, 6 our subject is evidence we'll want to select a pseudonym. 7 That kind of makes sense in the context of evidence. 8 Um, so looking at our answer choices, 9 a compelling is a really good fit for, 10 um, describing the strength of evidence. 11 So it's our correct answer. Um, be distinctive, 12 isn't quite correct. Um, it doesn't speak to the strength of evidence. 13 It just speaks to, uh, maybe how odd or unexpected it is. 14 Um, answer choice C impervious. 15 We don't want to say impervious because that would kind of suggest this is 16 unreputable perfectly clear. 17 Um, cannot be denied evidence, and we wouldn't want to go that far. 18 The passage doesn't tell us that this evidence is, 19 is completely faultless. Um, and Dave vigorous, 20 isn't really a word that we would use with evidence. 21 That's maybe something we would use for a different subject here. 22 Um, but since we're working with evidence vigorous, doesn't make sense and we'll select 23 answer choice a compelling, um, 24 when you plug this back into the passage, 25 it's definitely the choice that makes the most sense. 26 Um, when we talk about Martin's evidence for lignin being exceptionally 27 compelling, so answer choice a.
