Explanation for Question 30 From the Reading Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 10
Question 30 asks about the main purpose of the six paragraph and line 64 2 through 75. So let's give that paragraph a quick read. 3 So it says to address the question, a Lawson's group sought out a patient 4 known as GI who had an unusual nerve defect more than two decades earlier. 5 She had developed numbness across many parts of her body after taking penicillin to 6 treat a cough and fever testing showed that she had lost responsiveness to pressure 7 and a nerve biopsy confirmed that GIS quick conducting fibers were gone resulting in 8 an inability to sense any pokes, prods or pinpricks below her nose, 9 but she could also, she could still sense warmth suggesting that her still conducting 10 unmyelinated fibers were intact. So this is kind of just a medical 11 history of one of their patients that they're using in their experiment. 12 So let's look at the answer choices and we can use process of elimination 13 here. 14 So answer choice a says two identified those of GIS neurological conditions that might 15 be relieved by the experiment. So answer choice a is going to be incorrect 16 because it's implying that this medical history is going to be relieved by this 17 experiment. Nowhere in that paragraph, 18 does it say anything that allows them to experiment is going to do anything 19 to placate any of her symptoms from her past medical issues? 20 So that's why AI is going to be incorrect. 21 B says to contextualize the nerve function of GI by comparing it with that 22 of ot...
