Explanation for Question 36 From the Reading Section on the 2019 April Sat
36. We want to know, based on the passage, 2 Burke beliefs, that French leaders who would advocate moderate positions are. 3 So let's go to the passage to find where it talks about moderate positions 4 happened right here. Moderation will be stigmatized as the virtue of cowards 5 and compromise as the prudence of traders, 6 until in hopes of preserving the credit, 7 which may enable him to temper and moderate. 8 On some occasions, the popular leader is obliged to become active in propagating doctrines 9 and establishing powers that will afterwards defeat any sober purpose at which 10 he ultimately might have aimed. So this is basically saying, 11 if you try to stay neutral and be moderate and try to compromise, 12 you are going to end up probably having to do something you didn't intend 13 to do. So we look at our answer choices. 14 Now. I don't think he praised it to 15 the point of calling it brave or virtuous, 16 but he also wasn't dissing it and calling it cowardly. 17 So the best word I think would be sensible sometimes look at the second 18 half of the answer choice, but likely to be undermined, 19 which is what we said. You were eventually going to have to make decisions 20 that maybe you didn't intend to do. So the correct choice is deep.
