College Board, SAT, and the acorn logo are registered trademarks of College Board.  \nReading and Writing  \nModule 1  \n(33 questions)  \nQUESTION 1  \nChoice A is the best answer because as used in the text,“arranged” most nearly means “organized.” The text states that a welcome feature of Manchester’s art galleries (as opposed to others) is that the titles of the paintings are easy to see and that a catalogue is therefore unneeded while visitors browse the art galleries. This suggests that the paintings are displayed in a systematic, or organized, way.  \nChoice B is incorrect.“Ranked” might mean either classified or placed in orderly rows. Neither of these meanings would necessarily imply that the names of the paintings are easy to see (even if the paintings are placed in rows, their labels might be obscured) . Choice C is incorrect because it would not make sense in context to describe the paintings as “scheduled,” or planned to take place at a certain time. Choice D is incorrect because if the paintings were “discussed,” or talked about, this would have no bearing on whether the names of the paintings could be easily seen.  \nQUESTION 2  \nChoice D is the best answer because it most logically completes the text’s discussion of the challenge of generating electricity from ocean waves. In this context,“consistent” means steady or unchanging over time. The text introducesa challenge and then explains that wave power varies, or changes, unpredictably in ways that cause problems for electricity generation. This context conveys that the challenge being described is a lack of consistency.  \nChoice A is incorrect because the text introduces a challenge and then elaborateson it by emphasizing that the unpredictable nature of variations in ocean waves causes problems, which doesn’t indicate that wave power isn’t “accidental,” or isn’t happening unintentionally. It wouldn’t make sense to describe waves—a natural occurrence—as happening intentionally. Choice B is incorrect because“confident” means having a feeling of self-assurance, and it wouldn’t make sense to describe wave power itself in terms of either having or lacking a sense of  \n2 SAT PRACTICE TEST \\#9 ANSWER EXPLANATIONS  \nconfidence. Choice C is incorrect because the text introduces a challenge and then elaborates on it by emphasizing that the unpredictable nature of variations in ocean waves causes problems, which doesn’t indicate that wave power isn’t“expensive,” or isn’t costly. If anything, technological and planning problems might actually increase the expense of generating electricity from waves.  \nQUESTION 3  \nChoice C is the best answer because it most logically completes the text’s discussion of John Ashbery’s poems. As used in this context,“interpret”would mean decipher the meaning of. The text indicates that Ashbery’s poems have many unusual features, that it’s difficult to tell what exactly the poems’ subject matter is, and that scholars strongly disagree about the poems. This context conveys the idea that it’s difficult to interpret Ashbery’s poems.  \nChoice A is incorrect because “delegate” means to assign someone as a representative of another person or to entrust something to someone else, neither of which would make sense in context. The text is focused only on the difficulty that readers have interpreting Ashbery’s poems due to their many unusual features; it doesn’t suggest anything about the poems being difficult to delegate. Choice B is incorrect because describing Ashbery’s poems as difficult to “compose,” or put together or produce, would make sense only if the text were about Ashbery’s experience of writing the poems. It could be true that it was difficult for Ashbery to compose his poems, but the text doesn’t address this; it instead discusses how readers interpret and engage with the poems.","cbCaie1RUH4xwLAg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaie1RUH4xwLAg","pdf",1408262,47,"English","# Reading and Writing\n## Module 1 (33 questions)","[{\"question\":\"What is included in the SAT Practice Test #9 answer explanations?\",\"answer\":\"They provide answer explanations for the digital SAT Practice Test #9, including Reading and Writing Module 1 (33 questions).
