Explanation for Question 28 From the Reading Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 4
Question 28 says which choice provides the best evidence for the answer to the 2 previous question. So it's paired with 27 and 27 says according to the passage, 3 which of the following is true of antithrombin and we determined you can see 4 an earlier video for this, but the answer, the correct answer for 27 is 5 going to be a, it reduces compounds that lead to blood clots. 6 So let's look at the lines of evidence. 7 They give us in 28 and see which ones referenced this reducing 8 blood clot compounds. So if you look at answer choice a lines 12 through 9 16, it says many of the proteins that our cells crank out naturally make 10 for good medicine. Our body's own enzymes hormones, 11 clotting factors, and antibodies are commonly used to treat cancer, 12 diabetes auto-immune diseases, and more so you can see here that it does 13 talk about blood clots a little bit. 14 It talks about clotting factors, but this, 15 these lines of evidence aren't in reference to antithrombin, 16 which is what question 27 is asking about. 17 So that's my answer. Choice a is incorrect. 18 If we look at answer choice B lines 42 through 44, 19 it says it acts as a molecular bouncer referencing this compound 20 Actron, which is antithrombin. 21 So it, this antithrombin acts as a molecular bouncer sidling up to clot forming 22 compounds and escorting them out of the bloodstream. 23 So escorting clot, forming compounds out of the bloodstream, 24 taking them out. So Actron antithrombin is actively reduci...
