Explanation for Question 43 From the Reading Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 3

Question 43 says in line 42, 2 the author state that a certain hypothesis can best be tested by a trial 3 based on the passage, which of the following is a hypothesis. 4 The author suggests be tested in a trial. 5 So if we look back in the passage, 6 we can see, see that this paragraph here is referring 7 to the hypothesis mentioned in the previous paragraph here. 8 So it says things like we suspect that the bees have commercial B colonies, 9 which are fed mono crops are nutritionally deficient. 10 We postulate that the problem is a diet deficient and anti-Semite toxins, 11 peripherals, and possibly other nutrients, 12 which are inherent in such plants. And then it goes on to say, 13 we further postulate the proper doses necessary to prevent mite infection. 14 Maybe better left to the bees who may seek out or avoid peripheral containing 15 plants depending on the amount necessary to defend against might and the amount already 16 consumed by the bees, which in higher doses could be potentially toxic to them. 17 So let's go through each of the answer choices we're provided with here and 18 see if we can support it based on what is provided in that paragraph. 19 So answer choice a says, honey bees that are exposed to both peripherals and 20 mites are likely to develop a secondary infection by a virus or bacteria or 21 a fungus. So is going to be incorrect because it says that 22 being exposed to both peripherals and might make them more susceptible to infection. 23 If we look ba...
