Explanation for Question 45 From the Reading Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 6
Question 45 says it can most reasonably be inferred from the passage that many 2 people in the solar panel industry believe. 3 What. So if the question is telling us that we're going to be able 4 to infer the answer here, it's going to be a pretty direct inference from 5 any kind of text evidence that we see in the passage that will help 6 us answer this question. So let's look back in the passage here and see 7 if we can find that. So 8 we find the text evidence that helps us answer this question starting in line 9 27. And it says all parts of the Silicon solar panel industry have 10 been looking for ways to cut costs and improve the power output of solar 11 panels. And that's led to study cost reductions. 12 So what we can infer or conclude from this line of evidence 13 is that if everyone in an industry is working to cut costs and 14 improve output that everyone in that industry might believe that maybe the 15 costs are too high and the output is too low. 16 So let's look at the answer choices here and see which one best matches 17 that inference or conclusion that we just made. 18 So if we look at answer choice a, 19 it says, consumers don't understand how solar panels work. 20 So if that were to be the correct answer here, 21 we would need to see something about how the people 22 in the solar panel industry are working to educate consumers or make it easier 23 to understand for consumers so that they would buy their products. 24 And here we don't see any kind of evidence...
