Explanation for Question 32 From the Reading Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 1

Okay. So number 32 is basically asking me an idea of the passage. 2 And like I said before, we basically went through this, right? 3 We talked about how this is a whole passage of calling attention to this 4 issue of women's places in society. 5 And the fact that women can now participate more than they used to and 6 what they should really do with that power. Um, 7 and basically, I mean, we see from the beginning that first paragraph, 8 she says like, we no longer can just sit at this bridge and just 9 like, watch me the time to start asking these questions is now we can't 10 wait any longer. Right? The time to ask how we want to get involved 11 is now. So she wants to stress the importance of this, 12 the importance of this. So the main idea is the main purpose is as 13 it to emphasize the value of a tradition. 14 We're gonna talk about tradition right here at all these, 15 the distress, the urgency of an issue. Yes. 16 Right? It's a stress. How urgent the issue is of women asking what 17 do they do with these new found rights or this new found place in 18 society? It's not to highlight the severity of social divisions. 19 Social divisions would mean like, um, 20 rich versus poor people or something like that. 21 It's not like men versus women. And then D question the feasibility of an 22 undertaking. There's no undertaking the questioning here. 23 We're just talking about, you know, the urgency of asking the questions that the 24 author asks in this passage, which are, you know, 25 how should women be using their new found rights? How should women be responding 26 to the ability they have now to kind of participate more widely in society?
