Explanation for Question 30 From the Reading Section on the 2017 May Sat
Question 30 says which choice provides the best evidence for the answer to the 2 previous question. And we determined in an earlier video that the correct answer to 3 the previous question is going to be D that such a discovery would challenge 4 lithics findings because such a planet would not conform to his expectations. 5 So let's look at the lines of evidence given to us as answer choices 6 in question 30 and see which one best supports this idea. 7 So we're going to be looking for some kind of outline of lithics findings 8 and that not being compatible with this 9 comparison. 10 So we'll start as always with answer choice a it says 11 by simulating the dance on a computer, 12 the researchers worked out the masses of the two planets. 13 At this point in the passage, 14 we haven't even gotten to the discussion of lithic or his findings or his 15 research or anything like that. So automatically off the bat, 16 a can't be correct not to mention it. 17 Doesn't give us any information about any comparison made between density and mass of 18 two, uh, planetary bodies. So let's look at B, 19 it says the inner planet, 20 koi three 14 C is similar in size, 21 but about four times as massive. So if you're just looking for word for 22 word matching, this might be a distractor 23 again, though. You still haven't gotten to the discussion in the passage of lithics 24 findings or his research or anything of that nature. 25 So this really can't have anything to do with the answer to quest...
