Explanation for Question 34 From the Reading Section on the 2021 March Sat
Question number 34 is asking for evidence for the answer to the previous question. 2 The previous question is talking about why opponents are unable 3 to kind of comprehend the authors, 4 um, the abolitionists perspective. 5 So we're going to look for evidence that speaks to why can't the opposition 6 kind of get on board with what he abolitionists are proposing. 7 So answer choice a is going to be lines three to six. 8 That is here. Here, we meet time. After time, 9 newspapers are printed in speeches delivered to prove what, 10 um, so this answer choice doesn't really discuss too much 11 detail about the opponents. We can eliminate it. 12 Choice B line six to 10 says why that a man is man, 13 and that he is the only human possessor of himself, 14 or excuse me, it starts here, but these propositions are self-evident propositions and self-evident 15 propositions. We all know through though the most difficult to be proved or the 16 most easily understood. 17 So this answer choice here, 18 um, doesn't really speak to the opposition. 19 Exactly. Either we can eliminate it. Choice C is going to be lines 10 20 to 12. The mind sees their truth intuitively without the aid of reasoning. 21 So this kind of speaks to what should happen. 22 Maybe the mind should see their truth, but it doesn't speak to why the 23 opposition cannot see that truth. Our best answer here is going to be choice 24 D wine's 12 to 16, 25 the attempt to prove them, therefore be ridiculous. 26 We're not for the consideration of the amazing state of delusion to which presidents 27 reduces the mind when unenlightened by reason. 28 So we have this connection here on enlightened by reason, 29 the prejudice is kind of described as obscuring the truth, 30 making it unclear. And that is why the author says that the opposition cannot 31 understand, or doesn't really empathize with the points of the abolitionists. 32 So answer choice D is going to be correct lines 12 to 16.
