[Video] Q44: Which choice provides the best evidence for the answer to the previous question?

Explanation for Question 44 From the Reading Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 4

Question 44 says which choice provides the best evidence for the answer to the 2 previous question. So the previous question, 3 43 asks over the course of the passage, 4 the focus shifts from what to what, and we determined that the correct answer 5 for 43 is going to be answered twice, be a description of a recorded 6 event to its likely cause the recorded event being the little ice age and 7 the likely cause being a specific volcanic eruption. 8 So let's look at the lines in the lines of evidence given in 44 9 to see if we can determine if any of those accurately proved that that's 10 what the course, that's what the focus shifts from throughout the course of the 11 passage. So if you look at answer choice, 12 a line 17 through 25, it says in 2012, 13 as a team of scientists led by geochemist Gifford Miller strengthen the link between 14 the mystery eruption and the onset of the little ice age. 15 So we have the link between the mystery eruption and the onset of the 16 little ice age, which is really good talking about the description 17 of the recorded event, the likely ice age and it's caused the eruption. 18 So let's keep reading. It says by using radiocarbon dating of dead plant material 19 from beneath the ice caps on Baffin island in Iceland, 20 as well as ice and sediment core data, to determine that the cold summers 21 in ice growth began abruptly between 1275 and 1300 CE and became 22 intensified between 1430 and 1455 CE. 23 So that basically just goes into a lot o...
