Explanation for Question 49 From the Reading Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 1
Okay, so to answer 49, you should not have to go back into the 2 passages for this, because this is a question that you should have already basically 3 known based on how you read the passage, 4 right? When you were writing down your main ideas, when you were reading passage 5 one and pass it to you should have been asking yourself as I read 6 passage two, what is the connection? What is the relationship? 7 Remember? Passage. One talked about the benefits of space mining, 8 about how we can make money from it passed. Two said, 9 oh, slow your roll guy. Stop. 10 Wait a minute. Let's think about the implications of this. He expressed caveats reservations 11 concerns about space mining. 12 So he expresses caveats and reservations about what the guy in passage one said. 13 So that's what I want to hear. See you over here for number 49, 14 a but let's read all the answers. 15 A passage refute the central claim. No, 16 there's it's not saying passage. 17 Got two guys. Not saying, oh, we should never go space. 18 Mining B, pass it to illustrates the phenomenon described in more general terms. 19 No, it's not illustrating space mind anymore. 20 It's simply getting reservations about it. See past you argues against the practicality 21 and a little bit better. I still want something that says caveats D 22 pass it to expresses reservations. Reservations is the same thing as caveat. 23 He expresses concerns. Caveats about developments discussed in passage one. 24 That's exactly the answer. So make sure to read all the way down, 25 because you could see that C was a little bit, 26 um, I don't know, a C C kind of looked like it would, 27 would be maybe a good answer or an okay answer. 28 And so they try to trick you by putting C above D. 29 So you have to make sure that you're reading all the way down so 30 that you pick the best answer. Okay.
