Explanation for Question 35 From the Reading Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 8

Okay, so for line 30 or number 35, 2 it says as using line 67 element, 3 most nearly means we're just going to go right back into line 67. 4 We're going to find the word element. We're going to replace it with something 5 that makes sense for us. And then we're going to compare, 6 so line 67 67. 7 Okay. This is passage two element of slavery. 8 Okay. So let's read that sentence. 9 Um, they don't make the house a house divided against itself. 10 They're the props that hold up the house and sustain the union. 11 But has it been, so with this element of slavery, have we always not 12 had corals? Okay. Element of slavery is like this idea of slavery or this, 13 uh, notion of slavery. 14 Right? So like idea notion, subjective, 15 slavery, um, subject is another one. 16 Uh, so quality and environment and ingredient don't really make sense. 17 But factor is the same thing as like notion it's the same thing as 18 element, same thing as, um, 19 idea or subject. Right. So that's the only one that's gonna really make sense 20 here. Cause you can just see that the other environment just makes no sense. 21 Ingredient is like something that you talk about for making recipes. 22 Um, quality is more so something that you talk about in terms of like 23 an adjective, like he had a great, he had a real quality to him. 24 He had a great characteristic worth factors. 25 Like is it not? So with this factor of slavery, 26 right? This factor of slavery that contributes. 27 Um, so that's gonna be the end.
