[Video] Q3: As used in line 1 and line 65, “directly” most nearly means

Explanation for Question 3 From the Reading Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 1

Okay. And for number three, we're going to go back to lines one in 2 65. We're going to find the word directly and we're going to replace 3 it with something that we think it should be. 4 So I'm going to highlight it directly. And then what, 5 what was the other line? 63 65. 6 Um, okay, so let's see here. 7 He says, uh, Kyra came directly breaking all tradition. 8 So he came by himself, right? He came like without interference from other people 9 without having a go-between without asking someone else to ask, 10 he just did it himself. That's what I see as the word roughly here. 11 Um, was that it, how you follow for many asses mother's speech was followed 12 to approach a go. Okay. So he came directly by himself, 13 right? Like all by himself. Um, 14 no one interfering and then we have the word again. 15 I asked directly because the use of a go-between takes much time. 16 So basically directly means not using a go-between asking by yourself, 17 asking without interference. So without mediation is 18 the same thing as saying without interference, without using people in the middle without 19 using a go-between. Right. That's exactly what we're talking about here. 20 You know, that's the answer because he even spells it out right here without 21 you. So we go between, and he spells it out again over here without 22 use of a go-between. Okay. So that is the answer for that one.
