Explanation for Question 37 From the Reading Section on the 2019 May Sat
Question 37 says according to passage two, 2 when did the idea of human rights as we now understand them first begin 3 to develop. So since this question starts off with the phrase, 4 according to passage two, we know that the answer to this is going to 5 come pretty directly from texts, evidence found in passage two. 6 So if we scroll back and look through passage two, 7 we can find that evidence that answers this question right there at the beginning 8 of the fourth paragraph, it says, although the modern notion of human rights emerged 9 during the 18th century, it was on December 10th, 1948, 10 that the story began in earnest with the adoption of the universal declaration of 11 human rights by the UN general assembly. So this piece of evidence gives us 12 two dates. They give us during the 18th century and they give us in 13 1948. So now we have to do is distinguish between which one of those 14 answers this question. 15 And so we can look back at the question here and see that it's 16 asking us about when the idea first developed, 17 not necessarily like when it was put into action. 18 So we can see that the idea first developed in that 18 or during 19 that 18th century with the first piece of evidence. 20 And then it was put into action during 1948, 21 therefore during the 18th century would best answer this question. 22 So let's hope that that's an Andrew choice here and we can see that 23 it is its answer choice B. So with all that being said, 24 answer choice B is going to be the correct answer to question 37.
