Choice A is the best answer. #SATPractice
TEXT: Choice A is the best answer. The convention being tested is the use of punctuation around noun phrases. No punctuation is needed because the noun phrase "Tamatoa the crab" is a restrictive appositive, meaning that it provides essential identifying information about the noun phrase before it, "the character.” Additionally, no punctuation is needed between the noun phrase "the deep and humorous voice...crab" and the verb "belongs" that indicates whom the voice belongs to.

Choice D is correct. #SATPractice
TEXT: Choice D is the best answer because it most accurately describes the overall purpose of the text. The text indicates that “for as long as he could remember,” Max had “begged” his father to take him to La Reina. This point is later emphasized in the text by indicating that “this summer” his father might “finally take” Max to visit La Reina. Thus, the purpose of the text as a whole is to show how much Max wants to visit La Reina.

🔥 Build a daily STREAK with the SAT Question of the Day: spr.ly/633257GU2U
TEXT: SAT Reading and Writing Practice The following text is adapted from Pam Muñoz Ryan's 2020 novel Mañanaland. In the village where Max lives, there is an old fortress called La Reina. Children in the village say that the fortress is haunted. For as long as he could remember, Max had begged Papá [his father] to take him to see La Reina and the ruins up close. He'd be a hero among his friends if he was the first boy to cross the haunted gates! Just because Papá didn't believe in ghosts didn't mean they weren't there. Maybe this summer Papá would finally take him. He was almost twelve. ©2020 by Pam Muñoz Ryan Which choice best describes the overall purpose of the text? A) To portray how proud Max's father is of Max B) To explain why Max doesn't want to grow up yet C) To criticize Max for disliking summer D) To show how much Max wants to visit La Reina

Choice A is correct. #SATPractice
TEXT: Choice A is correct. The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180°. Therefore, the sum of the measures of angle R, angle S, and angle T is 180°. It's given that the measure of angle R is 63°. It follows that the sum of the measures of angle S and angle T is (180-63)°, or 117°. Therefore, the measure of angle S, in degrees, must be less than 117. Of the given choices, only 116 is less than 117. Thus, the measure, in degrees, of angle S could be 116.

Choice D is correct. #SATPractice
TEXT: Choice D is correct. A line in the xy-plane with a slope of m and a y-intercept of (0, b) can be defined by an equation in the form y=mx+b. It's given that line r has a slope of 4 and passes through the point (0, 6). It follows that m = 4 and b = 6 Substituting 4 for m and 6 for b in the equation y=mx+b yields y = 4x + 6 Therefore, the equation y = 4x + 6 defines line r.

Choice C is the best answer. #SATPractice
TEXT: Choice C is the best answer because it most logically completes the text's discussion of Bastos's study of a wild kea parrot. In this context, "accidental" means unplanned or unintentional. The text first describes Bastos's study, which concerns a kea that is observed using small stones to preen its feathers. The text then mentions colleagues who are skeptical (that is, they have doubt) about Bastos's findings, and finally describes how Bastos and her team responded to the skepticism of those colleagues. Given that the colleagues mentioned in the text expressed skepticism regarding Bastos's findings, the best answer choice must be one that completes the text in a manner such that the skeptics' opinion regarding the kea's use of stones disagrees with that held by Bastos and her team. Since Bastos and her team showed that the kea's use of stones was deliberate (that is, intentional), the skeptics' opinion in this context must be that the kea's use of stones was unintentional, or accidental.
