College Board, SAT, and the acorn logo are registered trademarks of the College Board. 5KSA09  \nAnswer Explanations  \nSAT Practice Test \\#1  \nSection 1: Reading Test  \nQUESTION 1.  \nChoice B is the best answer. In the passage, a young man (Akira) asks a mother (Chie) for permission to marry her daughter (Naomi) . The request was certainly surprising to the mother, as can be seen from line 47, which states that prior to Akira’s question Chie “had no idea” the request was coming.  \nChoice A is incorrect because the passage depicts two characters engaged in a civil conversation, with Chie being impressed with Akira’s “sincerity”and finding herself “starting to like him.” Choice C is incorrect because the passage is focused on the idea of Akira’s and Naomi’s present lives and possible futures. Choice D is incorrect because the interactions between Chie and Akira are polite, not critical; for example, Chie views Akira with“amusement,” not animosity.  \nQUESTION 2.  \nChoice B is the best answer. The passage centers on a night when a young man tries to get approval to marry a woman’s daughter. The passage includes detailed descriptions of setting (a “winter’s eve” and a “cold rain,” lines 5-6); character (Akira’s “soft, refined” voice, line 33; Akira’s eyes “sh[ining] with sincerity,” line 35); and plot (“Naomi was silent. She stood a full half minute looking straight into Chie’s eyes. Finally, she spoke,” lines 88-89) .  \nChoice A is incorrect because the passage focuses on a nontraditional marriage proposal. Choice C is incorrect because the passage concludes without resolution to the question of whether Akira and Naomi will receive permission to marry. Choice D is incorrect because the passage repeatedly makes clear that for Chie, her encounter with Akira is momentous and unsettling, as when Akira acknowledges in line 73 that he has “startled” her.  \nQUESTION 3.  \nChoice C is the best answer. Akira “came directly, breaking all tradition,”(line 1) when he approached Chie and asked to marry her daughter, and he“ask[ed] directly,” without “a go-between”(line 65) or “mediation,” because doing otherwise would have taken too much time.  \nChoices A, B, and D are incorrect because in these contexts,“directly” does not mean in a frank, confident, or precise manner.  \nQUESTION 4.  \nChoice A is the best answer. Akira is very concerned Chie will find his marriage proposal inappropriate because he did not follow traditional protocol and use a “go-between”(line 65) . This is clear in lines 63-64, when Akira says to Chie “Please don’t judge my candidacy by the unseemliness of this proposal.”  \nChoice B is incorrect because there is no evidence in the passage that Akira worries that Chie will mistake his earnestness for immaturity. Choice C is incorrect because while Akira recognizes that his unscheduled visit is a nuisance, his larger concern is that Chie will reject him due to the inappropriateness of his proposal. Choice D is incorrect because there is no evidence in the passage that Akira worries Chie will underestimate the sincerity of his emotions.  \nQUESTION 5.  \nChoice C is the best answer. In lines 63-64, Akira says to Chie, “Please don’t judge my candidacy by the unseemliness of this proposal.” This reveals Akira’s concern that Chie may say no to the proposal simply because Akira did not follow traditional practices.  \nChoices A, B, and D do not provide the best evidence for the answer to the previous question. Choice A is incorrect because line 33 merely describes Akira’s voice as “soft, refined.” Choice B is incorrect because lines 49-51 reflect Chie’s perspective, not Akira’s. Choice D is incorrect because lines 71-72 indicate only that Akira was speaking in an eager and forthright matter.  \nQUESTION 6.  \nChoice D is the best answer because Akira clearly treats Chie with respect, including “bow[ing]”(line 26) to her, calling her “Madame”(line 31), and looking at ","cbCaioX8tVlVjYPk","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioX8tVlVjYPk","pdf",380968,13,1,45,"English","en",105,"# Section 1: Reading Test\n## Question 1\n## Question 2\n## Question 3\n## Question 4\n## Question 5\n## Question 6\n## Question 7\n## Question 8","[{\"question\":\"What do the answer explanations provide for each Reading Test question?\",\"answer\":\"Each explanation names the correct choice and cites specific passage details (often by line) to justify why it is correct.\"},{\"question\":\"How are incorrect answer choices handled in the explanations?\",\"answer\":\"The document explains why each incorrect choice does not match the passage’s evidence, such as misreading tone, focus, or narrative information.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of passage elements are referenced to support the answers?\",\"answer\":\"The explanations reference setting, character descriptions, and direct dialogue, and they use those elements to determine the question’s meaning or purpose.\"}]","SAT Practice Test 1 -
