Explanation for Question 35 From the Reading Section on the 2019 April Sat
For 35, we want to know is used in line 17 instruments. 2 Most nearly means. So without looking at the choices we're going right to line 3 17, to find the word here, 4 it is instruments. So they will become flatterers instead of legislators, 5 the instruments, not the guides of the people. 6 So instead of being guides, the legislators are being used by the people. 7 So if I were to come up with a synonym for instruments, 8 I would maybe say ponds if the people are using them. 9 So now let's look at the answer choices. 10 I said pawns. So if we compare that to our choices, 11 I think the closest one would be B tools because it's another way 12 of emphasizing that the people would be the ones using the legislators.
