Explanation for Question 6 From the Reading Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 3
Question six says in line 55 charge, 2 most nearly means what? So let's look in the passage and get some context 3 here. If we look where this information is presented, 4 the sentence starts in 9 53. It says during the drive to the Carboro mansion 5 lady, Carlotta was impressively introduced to the nature of the charts that had been 6 thrust upon her. So basically what they're talking about here is after she's approached 7 at the train station by Ms and she says, 8 you're the governess that I'm expecting. And Ms. 9 Hope, lady, Carlotta, whatever you want to call her. 10 Doesn't object to that. She gets in the car with Ms. 11 and Ms. describing to her the job of governess. 12 So she's understanding the nature of the job that had been thrust upon her. 13 So again, just to be clear, 14 we might be able to replace this word charge with job, 15 that, of teaching the children. 16 So let's look at the answer choices and see if any of those match. 17 So if you look at answer choice, it says responsibility. 18 So job responsibility teaching the children is a responsibility. 19 So maybe that's a good answer choice here. 20 If we look at answer choice B, it says attack. 21 So that's not going to be correct here, 22 right? They're talking about just the idea of her teaching the children. 23 That's not going to be an attack on her attack has a very negative 24 connotation here. Um, so that's why that would be incorrect. 25 And then if we look at C and D, we can kind of talk 26 about those together since they mean much the same thing, 27 a fee or an expense would be the literal meaning of the word charge. 28 So like charging a credit card or something like that. 29 In this case, she's not paying anything. 30 They're just talking about her, teaching the children and hurt the responsibilities associated 31 with that. So with all that being said, 32 answer choice a would be the correct answer for question six.
