Explanation for Question 30 From the Writing Section on the 2019 May Sat
Uh, question 30 is asking us to provide accurate information from the chart. 2 So, um, this chart again is reflecting, 3 um, post offices. And whether they're located in zip codes with no bank, 4 one bank, or at least two banks, this is trying to speak to the 5 overall trend of a lack of access where a lot of post offices are 6 located in zip codes with not very many bank branches. 7 So looking at our actual answer choices choice a says more than half 8 of post offices are located in zip codes with fewer than two 9 bank branches, um, that would incorporate, 10 um, post offices and zip codes with no banks or with one 11 bank. So these two sections, 12 and that's going to come out to 38% plus 21% or 59%, 13 which is right about 60%. Um, 14 so this is correct, but let's take a look at our other answer choices 15 as well. 16 Choice B says almost all of them as it happens. 17 We can't really say that because there is still this sizable portion of post 18 offices and zip codes with at least two banks. Tracy says roughly 40%, 19 again, not true. That would only be referring to this segment of post offices 20 in zip codes with no banks. But since we're talking about less than two 21 banks, we can also include post offices and zip codes with one bank. 22 So this segment as well, um, 23 Tracy says, but overall only about 20% of them, 24 this is totally unfounded. That's not correct. 25 So we're going to go with choice a, um, 26 these two segments add up to 59%, 27 which is just about 60% as the underlined portion suggests 28 greater than half.
