Explanation for Question 18 From the Reading Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 10
Question 18 says as using line 72 promotes most nearly means what? 2 So let's go look at the context of this word in the passage. 3 The sentence says no one ever promotes a transit scheme by arguing that it 4 would make traveling less convenient. So what we can do is we can take 5 this word promotes and try and replace it from something else from our vocabulary 6 that would maintain the meaning of the sentence. The first word that comes to 7 my mind is supports no one ever 8 supports a transit scheme by arguing that it would make traveling less convenient. 9 So let's go look at which of the answer choices best matches that. 10 So we have upgrade service advocates and develops the 11 one that's going to most closely match with supports is going to be C 12 advocates. And if we take a look at a, 13 B and D upgrade serves or develops, 14 those are going to change the meaning of the sentence, 15 because the sentence is trying to convey that the transit scheme 16 is being supported, not developed or upgraded or served it's existing. 17 And it's just being advocated for. So the correct answer to 18 is 18 C.
