Explanation for Question 1 From the Reading Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 10
So question one reads the narrator of the passage can best be described as 2 what so the best strategy for answering this question would just be to read 3 through the answer choices and find text evidence to support one of them. 4 So we'll start with answer choice a that the narrator is one of Ms 5 for these former students. And we can see that that's going to be the 6 correct answer choice here, because starting in line 58, 7 the narrator includes themselves in a group of students. 8 Um, they say what we really wanted to know about all 26 of us 9 across seven grade levels in one room. So the narrator is including themselves in 10 this group of 26 students. We can also see evidence of answer choice a 11 here in line 71, 12 where they say, miss Vivi showed us on the map, 13 how she and Dr. Janet Miller had sailed across the Atlantic ocean and pass the 14 rock of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean sea. 15 So these lines give us evidence that miss Vivi is teaching directly to the 16 narrator, indicating that the narrator is one of her students. 17 Um, if we look at some of the other answer choices, 18 we can look at answer choice B. It says Ms. 19 Spivey's predecessors. So this would indicate that the narrator is, 20 um, another teacher, which would be incorrect because we just said that the narrator 21 includes himself in a group of students. And then answer choice C says an 22 anonymous member of the community, which would also be incorrect because it's clear from 23 the passage that Mrs Vivi and the narrator are familiar with each other. 24 So the word anonymous would make this answer choice incorrect, 25 and then answer choice D says, miss Vivia herself. 26 And because Ms. Vivi is referred to in this passage as miss Vivi and 27 not I or me that answer choice would also be incorrect. 28 So then a one of Ms. Phoebe's former students is the right answer.
