Audience members, who wander through the labyrinthine venue at their own pace and follow the actors as they play out simultaneous, interweaving narrative loops, confront the impossibility of experiencing the production in its entirety. The playʼs refusal of narrative coherence thus hinges on the sense of spatial fragmentation that the venueʼs immense and intricate layout generates.  \nWhat does the text most strongly suggest about Sleep No Moreʼs use of its performance space?  \nA. The choice of a New York City venue likely enabled the playʼs creators to experiment with the use of theatrical space in a way that venues from earlier productions could not.  \nB. Audience members likely find the experience of the play disappointing because they generally cannot make their way through the entire venue.  \nC. The productionʼs dependence on a particular performance environment would likely make it difficult to reproduce exactly in a different theatrical space.  \nD. Audience members who navigate the space according to a recommended itinerary will likely have a better grasp of the playʼs narrative than audience members who depart from that itinerary.  \nQuestion ID 1a2b29c9  \n\n| Assessment\u003Cbr>SAT | Test\u003Cbr>Reading and Writing | Domain\u003Cbr>Information and Ideas | Skill\u003Cbr>Central Ideas and Details | Difficulty\u003Cbr>|\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n\nID: 1a2b29c9  \nThe following text is adapted from María Cristina Menaʼs 1914 short story “The Vine-Leaf.”  \nIt is a saying in the capital of Mexico that Dr. Malsufrido carries more family secrets under his hat than any archbishop.  \nThe doctor ʼs hat is, appropriately enough, uncommonly capacious, rising very high, and sinking so low that it seems to be supported by his ears and eyebrows, and it has a furry look, as if it had been brushed the wrong way, which is perhaps what happens to it if it is ever brushed at all. When the doctor takes it off, the family secrets do not fly out like a flock of parrots, but remain nicely bottled up beneath a dome of old and highly polished ivory.  \nBased on the text, how do people in the capital of Mexico most likely regard Dr. Malsufrido?  \nA. Many have come to tolerate him despite his disheveled appearance.  \nB. Few feel concerned that he will divulge their confidences.  \nC. Some dislike how freely he discusses his own family.  \nD. Most would be unimpressed by him were it not for his professional expertise.  \nQuestion ID 2fdfe002  \n\n| Assessment\u003Cbr>SAT | Test\u003Cbr>Reading and Writing | Domain\u003Cbr>Information and Ideas | Skill\u003Cbr>Central Ideas and Details | Difficulty\u003Cbr>|\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n\nID: 2fdfe002  \nThe following text is adapted from Countee Cullenʼs 1926 poem “Thoughts in a Zoo.”  \nThey in their cruel traps, and we in ours,  \nSurvey each other ʼs rage, and pass the hours  \nCommiserating each the other ʼs woe,  \nTo mitigate his own painʼs fiery glow.  \nMan could but little proffer in exchange  \nSave that his cages have a larger range.  \nThat lion with his lordly, untamed heart  \nHas in some man his human counterpart,  \nSome lofty soul in dreams and visions wrapped,  \nBut in the stifling flesh securely trapped.  \nBased on the text, what challenge do humans sometimes experience?  \nA. They cannot effectively tame certain wild animals because of a lack of compassion.  \nB. They cannot focus on setting attainable goals because of a lack of motivation.  \nC. They quickly become frustrated when faced with difficult tasks because of a lack of self-control.  \nD. They have aspirations that cannot be fulfilled because of certain limitations.  \nQuestion ID 701126","cbCaikcgc9ah5BUA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikcgc9ah5BUA","pdf",330778,"English","# Central Ideas and Details\n## Questions","[{\"question\":\"What does the SAT question skill “Central Ideas and Details” test?\",\"answer\":\"It tests the ability to understand and interpret key ideas in a passage, then select the answer that best matches those ideas using supporting details.\"},{\"question\":\"How are the response choices usually used in these practice questions?\",\"answer\":\"Each question provides four answer options, and the correct choice is the one that most strongly suggests an inference based on the passage’s details.\"},{\"question\":\"What types of passages appear in this set of questions?\",\"answer\":\"The set includes adapted literary works (short story excerpts and poetry) as well as informational science and experiential theater descriptions.\"}]","Central ideas and Details (hard) - SAT Reading and Writing Practice Questions | PDF"]
