Explanation for Question 6 From the Writing Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 8
So question number six tells us that the writer wants to support the paragraphs, 2 that main idea with accurate, relevant information from the graph, 3 which choice most effectively accomplish accomplishes this goal. 4 So let's look at what the sentence is trying to say. 5 It says remarkably some amount of glass or food waste, 6 right? Cause we're choosing here between using glass metal or food waste was 7 discarded in landfills in the year, 8 then any substance, including plastics and paper. 9 So we want to find which one was the most 10 discarded that year or which one was the least discarded that year, 11 right? Because it needs to be at one of the extremes more than more 12 or less than any other substance. So we can see that the most discarded 13 substance here is going to be food waste, 14 right? So food waste is the most, 15 or we could say rubber slash leather is 16 the least. Now none of our answer choices talk about rubber or leather. 17 So we know that we're not going to choose that one. So we want 18 to choose the one that says food waste and most, 19 and that comes out to BC, 20 right? More food waste was discarded than any other substance, 21 including plastics. And that's true because food waste is the highest and it's even 22 higher up here than plastic. So our best answer is going to be C 23 okay.
