Explanation for Question 20 From the Reading Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 4

The 20 says, according to chart to the years, 2 2000 to 2010 were characterized by what? 3 So let's look back at chart two and see what this is all about. 4 So we can look and start with the title of chart two. 5 It says growth rates by Metro size, 6 and then we have large Metro, small Metro and non-metro. 7 So we also have the indication of what these 8 three different bar colors mean over here on the side. 9 Um, so let's take a look at the questions asking about asking 10 us about 2000 to 2010. So we can see here that 11 in large Metro areas in 2000 to 2010, 12 the growth rate was 10.9 in small Metro areas. 13 It was 10.3 and in non-metro areas, 14 it was 4.5. So you can see that it's almost always less 15 than, or it is always less than this 1990 to 2000 figure. 16 And it trades off with being more than, 17 or less than the 1980 to 1990 figure. 18 So let's go back and look at the answer choices and see which one, 19 maybe some of that information could match. 20 So if you look at answer choice, it says less growth in the metropolitan 21 areas of all sizes than had taken place in the 1990s. 22 So that would go along with what we said about the 2000 to 2010 23 figure, always being less or having a smaller growth rate. 24 Then in 1990 to 2000 figures. 25 So a might be a promising answer twice here. If we look at answer 26 choice B, it says more growth in small metropolitan areas than in large metropolitan 27 areas. So let's go look at the growth rates here. 28 So in small met...
