Explanation for Question 45 From the Reading Section on the 2018 May Sat
Question number 45 is the meaning of a word in context here. 2 We're looking at document in line 31. 3 So let's take a look back at line 31 to see how document is 4 being used here. 5 We see the program also would enable astronomers to search for the 6 most distant type a supernova. 7 Um, we're seeing a discussion about this candles project. 8 The exact sentence is we designed candles primarily to document the first 9 one-third of galaxy evolution. 10 So document here is he is in the sense of writing something down, 11 making a note of it, um, 12 basically just forming this impression and logging it of in this case, 13 what the first one third of galaxy evolution looked like. 14 So looking at our answer choices that meaning best lines up with 15 choice, see record. Um, 16 if we read that back, it definitely fits. 17 We designed candles primarily to record the first one third of galaxy evolution. 18 So record here is the best fit. Um, 19 these other words, if we used produce that wouldn't have a comparable meaning we 20 can eliminate a be defined, 21 maybe sounds a bit closer, but to find in this case, 22 we wouldn't say we were defining, 23 um, this, you know, history of the galaxy. 24 It's more that we're documenting it, defined doesn't quite fit, 25 um, and choice D construct. Again, 26 we're not constructing that history. We're sort of taking it in recording it. 27 So D is out as well and answer twice to see is our best 28 fit for number 45.
