Explanation for Question 46 From the Reading Section on the 2021 May Sat (International)

Hey guys, question 46 says as used in line 48, 2 indirect, most nearly means blank. So let's go back to line 48 and reread 3 it with indirect and replace our own word there. 4 So 48 should come around here that says the yellow 5 start. The soul's first found growing in California in 1824, 6 but its journey was indirect one by a Chile. 7 So the chances are that the Spanish and California in yellow start vessels last 8 interbred turn 50 or so generations ago. 9 So it's telling us that it wasn't a direct 10 journey. That's what I think it's telling us. And obviously indirect is, 11 you know, the opposite direct. But when it's saying that it's saying that the 12 journey didn't come straight from Spain to, 13 um, California, it came, uh, 14 through Chile. So it kind of wasn't direct. 15 It was kind of like looped around. 16 Um, so like a non straight pathway. 17 So our answer choices here are, 18 it's not a misleading pathway. It's not indirect in that sense. 19 Like someone who was being indirect with you, 20 it's indirect in the path was literally not direct roundabout seems to be fitting 21 because instead of going straight from Spain to there, 22 it's going roundabout, you know, kind of, kind of going in, 23 in another looping way, going through Chile, 24 it wasn't a restrained pathway. It doesn't anything to do with restraint. 25 It's just that it was on a different pathway and it wasn't an implicit 26 mathic wasn't, you know, imply like that it was already there. 27 So, um, for that reason, um, 28 B is going to be the cracked topic.
