Explanation for Question 28 From the Reading Section on the 2021 March Sat
Question 28 is a vocabulary and context question. 2 It asks us about the word means in line 62. 3 So let's take a look back at 62 to see how this word is 4 actually used. So in this case, 5 the sentence says a 6 line 62 here, the sentence says, 7 this suggests that B is where it's simply copying what they saw during the 8 demonstration, but actually improved on the task by using the easiest means. 9 So the context here is the easiest means. 10 Um, if I was trying to kind of replace this word in context, 11 I might use a word like the easiest method or the easiest technique, 12 the easiest kind of way of doing something is the meaning that's intended here. 13 So the easiest process, the easiest method, 14 if we look at our answer choices, the best kind of fit here is 15 going to be answered twice B approach. 16 They use the easiest approach, the easiest instrument wouldn't be the right fit. 17 Um, they're not necessarily using, 18 um, a physical tool. They're more using a method. 19 So an instrument is less of a good fit as approach because approach kind 20 of illustrates. We're talking about a method instrument makes it sound like we're maybe 21 talking about some kind of tool, um, C design. 22 Um, we wouldn't say that they're using a design. 23 Um, this isn't a case where using a design would make sense while it's 24 definitely true. They have to design a method. 25 We're looking here for that, that noun the approach, 26 not what they did to get there and answer twice day results. 27 Um, we're not talking about the assault results. 28 We're talking about the process that they actually use to arrive with those results. 29 So I wouldn't say the results are efficient. We would say the process they 30 use to get to those optimal results is going to be efficient. 31 So we want to word that kind of speaks to the process here and 32 the best word to do that is answer choice B approach.
