[Video] Q12: Which choice does the author explicitly cite as an advantage of automobile travel in north america?

Explanation for Question 12 From the Reading Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 3

Question 12 says, which choice does the author explicitly cite as an advantage of 2 automobile travel in north America? So the key for question 12 here is 3 this word explicitly, explicitly means like outright, 4 very directly citing a certain advantage of automobile travel in north America. 5 So they talk mostly about automobile specifically in north America in the third 6 paragraph. So if we look there, 7 we can see right there at the end, it says, 8 hopping in a car, almost always gets you to your destination more quickly. 9 So this is talking about directly an advantage of traveling 10 in a car. So let's look at what the answer choices have to say 11 in which one best matches that. So we have environmental impact, 12 which doesn't go with the whole quickly thing, 13 right? That's not very direct here. So answer choice a would be incorrect. 14 If you look at answer choice B, it says convenience. 15 So maybe it's convenient to get somewhere quicker. 16 So answer choice B could be a good choice. 17 Really good answer. Choice C though, it says speed. 18 So speed is going to be more directly to the related to the fact 19 that hopping in a car will get you somewhere quicker. 20 So C would be a better answer choice than be here, 21 but B is still probably the distractor answer choice that the test makers put 22 here. So then if we look at answer choice, 23 D it says cost nowhere in this paragraph. 24 Does it talk about how the cost of cars is more beneficial than the 25 cost of public transportation? 26 So answer choice D would be incorrect and answer choice. 27 C speed is the correct answer here. 28 Cause that's the one that most you, that relates to hopping in a car 29 that you sell more quicker.
