Explanation for Question 22 From the Reading Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 4
Question 22 says the primary purpose of this passage is to what? 2 So let's look at the first paragraph. 3 That's this passage just to kind of get some introductory information. 4 So it says when scientists first learned how to edit the genomes of animals, 5 they began to imagine all the ways they could use this new power creating 6 brightly colored novelty. Pets was not a high priority. 7 Instead, most researchers envisioned far more consequential applications hoping to create genetically 8 engineered animals that saved human lives. One enterprise is now delivering on this dream, 9 welcome to the world of farming and which simple genetic tweaks for an animals 10 into living pharmaceutical factories. So based on the information 11 presented in this paragraph, and also the way this information information is presented, 12 we can kind of see that this passage is going to outline to us 13 what this world of farming is and how it 14 accomplishes this goal or how it has accomplished this goal of simple 15 genetic tweaks, turning animals into living pharmaceutical factories. 16 So let's look at the answer choices and see which one kind of matches 17 that.
