Explanation for Question 30 From the Writing Section on the 2019 April Sat
Question 30 says which choice best reflects the information presented in figure 2 one. So we want to provide a detail that we could find in this 3 figure. Um, the figure is looking at song linearity in 4 three different areas. We have a mountainous area, 5 an urban area and an agricultural area, 6 and the linearity index ranges. It looks like from around 0.5 to 7 one more generally. 8 So 30 says the linearity at the mountain site was what compared 9 to the other site or the agricultural site indicating greater song 10 complexity. So the mountain site we see is relatively low compared 11 to the urban area or the agricultural area. 12 So we're going to say the linearity at the mountainous site was, 13 it looks like more than 0.2 lower than that at the urban 14 site. Um, it wouldn't make sense to say that it was the same at 15 the urban site or higher than at the urban site. 16 So we can eliminate C and D. Um, 17 we're going to select, um, 18 either a or B. I think it should be more than 0.1 lower than 19 the urban site, or more than 0.2 lower than not the urban site. 20 So we'll actually take this into account. It looks like we're talking about 0.7 21 here at urban and a little bit less than 22 0.6. Maybe we'll call that 0.58 at the mountain of site. 23 So this is more than 0.1 lower, 24 but it's not quite more than 0.2 lower. 25 So we're not actually going to select B. We're going to select answer choice 26 a, um, this is the answer choice that makes the most sense. 27 When we look at the numbers 0.7 compared to a little bit under 0.6 28 is not more than 0.2 lower it's more than 0.1 lower. 29 So that's the answer choice that best reflects the findings presented 30 in figure one.
