Explanation for Question 49 From the Reading Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 4
Question 49 asks which choice best supports the claim that Keela TOA was not 2 responsible for the little ice age. So if we were called the Keela toe 3 is the volcano in Ecuador. 4 So let's look at the lines of evidence given here and see which ones 5 reference Keela TOA, and the fact that it's not responsible for this little ice 6 age. So if we look at answer choice a lines three through four, 7 it just says identifying the volcano responsible has been tricky. 8 So this is entirely too vague to be correct here. 9 It doesn't reference anything about Keela, TOA or anything about the specific volcano 10 in general, that's responsible for the little ice age. 11 So that's my answer. Choice a would be incorrect. 12 If we look at answer choice B line 26 through 28, 13 it says such a sudden onset pointed to a huge volcanic eruption injecting sulfur 14 into the stratosphere and starting the cooling. 15 So again, this doesn't directly reference Keela, 16 TOA the volcano in Ecuador. So it can't be correct here because it can't 17 determine that Keela TOA is not responsible for the little ice age. 18 We look at answer choice C. It says the researchers then began to reconstruct 19 the formation of the large 800 meter deep caldera, 20 uh, based in shaped volcanic crater that now sits atop the volcano. 21 So this answer choice is actually talking about the Indonesia 22 Samalas. And so if it's talking about the volcano in Indonesia and not 23 the volcano in Ecuador, it can't tell us that Ke...
