Explanation for Question 37 From the Writing Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 3
Now question number 37 wants us to link the first paragraph to the ideas 2 that follow. So if we look in the first paragraph, 3 right, it appears that we're talking about some artists we're talking about, 4 you know, animals in human arts. 5 Um, and then we continue to talk about, 6 you know, art in Spain and France right here, 7 um, and all the millennia scents. So we're talking about a bunch of different 8 types of art, right? And if we go on here, 9 we started talking about St. Petersburg. We started talking about, 10 you know, museums and Russia, more about Russian history. 11 When we talk about Peter, the great, so we really want a combination of 12 talking about art, right? And talking about Russia. 13 Now, if we look at a, it says, um, despite many years that have 14 passed between then and now that doesn't tell us anything about Russia, 15 which appears to be a main topic of that next paragraph. 16 So a is no good. Um, B says special attention to domestic cats and 17 dogs. This has good information from paragraph one, 18 but again, lacks, um, any kind of connection to the information that follows when 19 we talk about Russia. So bees off topic now C says, 20 even though most pay things in museums, are people not animals. 21 Again, talking about the animals has a good connection to paragraph one, 22 but where's the discussion of Russia, right? 23 And then finally, as an example, in one museum of Russia shows, 24 right? So here now we've got a museum in Russia. 25 The example is referring to the types of art that we see in paragraph 26 one, right? Examples that, 27 um, show fellow creatures, 28 right? Examples of art that shows fellow creatures. 29 So that's the connection to paragraph one. The Russia is the connection to the 30 info that follows. And so that makes the answer choice D our best answer.
