[Video] Q8: As used in line 44, “weight” most nearly means

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

Okay. So we have number eight here. It says as using line 44 weight, 2 most nearly means, which means we are going to go right back to line 3 44. And we are going to try to replace weight with a word that 4 we think fits. Um, so we're not going to read the answer choices. 5 We're going to do this off the top of our head. Let's see, 6 uh, when it was time for me to leave, I would do so dragging 7 my feet away on my soul. 8 It ended up to being able to stay there forever. Um, 9 so what is, if we could just go to the word weight, 10 right. A blank on my soul. 11 It's like this like heavy thing, 12 that's kind of like burdening him kind of like blocking him from fully 13 experiencing what he wants to do. 14 Right. So it's like, um, the way they're using the word wake here 15 is like, is basically like a burden, 16 like, like it's blocking him. Right. It's like preventing him. 17 Um, so it's like prohibitive. So let's see what matches that. 18 Okay. I don't know what just happened here. Um, 19 oh, I don't want to do that. Wait. Yeah. Okay. 20 So it says, 21 yeah, nothing kind of even, 22 um, like, 23 like signals prohibitive to me, 24 besides the words, burden book force and cloud. 25 Don't do that for me. So B is going to be the answer.
