Throughout the passage, the narrator describes a visit to her family’s ink shop. The narrator’s father and uncles are employed at the shop, and in the third and fifth paragraphs the narrator describes her father’s interactions with a customer. Her father praises the color, sound, and smell of an ink sample as indicators of the ink’s quality. This interaction leads the narrator to conclude in the last paragraph,“I was very proud to hear Father speak of our family’s ink this way.” Therefore, the passage is best summarized as a character’s visit to her family’s ink shop that deepens her appreciation of her family’s work.  \nChoice A is incorrect. Although the narrator’s arrival at her family’sink shop does spark memories of her Precious Auntie, these memories center on Precious Auntie’s beliefs about creativity, including the conviction that inferior ink produces inferior thought. The narrator’s thoughts on Precious Auntie occur in the fourth paragraph, so choice A isn’t the best summary of the overall passage. Choice B is incorrect. Although the passage describes the narrator’s surprise visit to the ink shop and a reunion with her uncles, these events occur in the first paragraph. Therefore, choice B doesn’t provide the best summary of the passage as a whole. Choice C is incorrect because the narrator doesn’t make any reference to her father’s ambitions.  \nQUESTION 2  \nChoice B is the best answer. In the fourth paragraph, the narrator recounts her Precious Auntie’s belief that “you can never be an artist if your work comes without effort.” Her Precious Auntie states that when the physical act of writing is done with an “inkstick along an inkstone,” this process requires an artist to “take the first step to cleansing your mind and your heart. You push and you ask yourself, What are my intentions? What is in my heart that matches my mind?”In the following paragraphs, the narrator recalls the pride she felt while listening to her father describe the high quality of the ink that her family had worked hard to produce. Therefore, a main theme of the passage is that quality is achieved through deliberate effort.  \nChoice A is incorrect. Although family relationships form a backdrop to the passage, the nurturing of these relationships isn’t a main theme. Choice C is incorrect. Although the passage does emphasize that hard work produces higher quality writing than that which is produced through minimal work, the passage doesn’t mention that hard work results in material compensation. Choice D is incorrect. Although the passage discusses the role of concentrated effort in creative expression, a main theme of the passage isn’t that creativity needs tobe expressed concretely.  \nQUESTION 3  \nChoice B is the best answer. In the first sentence of the second paragraph, the narrator states: “I tried to notice everything so I could later tell GaoLing what I had seen.” She then proceeds to describe the floors of the family’s ink shop, the walls and display cases, and the various items for sale. According to the third paragraph, these include an inkstick “with a top shaped like a fairy boat,” another inkstick with “a bird shape,” and a collection of ink cakes “embellished with designs of peonies and bamboo.” Therefore, throughout the passage, the narrator is portrayed as someone who is attuned to her immediate surroundings.  \nChoice A is incorrect. Although the narrator describes herself as shy, the people she interacts with aren’t unfamiliar to her because they are members of her family whom she has met before. Choices C and D are incorrect because the narrator isn’t portrayed as sympathetic to the needs of others (choice C) or anxious about her responsibilities (choice D) .  \nQUESTION 4  \nChoice A is the best answer. Big Uncle and Little Uncle offer Old Widow Lau and the narrator a seat at a table reserved for customers upon their arriva","cbCaiiVjvQBS0vHr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiVjvQBS0vHr","pdf",1479237,52,"English","# SAT Practice Test #9 Section 1: Reading Test\n## Question 1\n## Question 2\n## Question 3\n## Question 4\n## Question 5","[{\"question\":\"How do the explanations determine the best answer for Question 1?\",\"answer\":\"They compare each choice to the passage summary, using paragraph-by-paragraph details, and select the option that matches the narrator’s visit and resulting pride.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the main theme identified in Question 2?\",\"answer\":\"The passage’s theme is that quality is achieved through deliberate effort, supported by the described belief about artistic work and intentional practice.\"},{\"question\":\"What inference is made about Old Widow Lau in Question 4?\",\"answer\":\"Her reluctance to stay for tea is inferred to be feigned, because her actions show weak attempts to leave rather than genuine refusal.\"}]","SAT Practice Test 9 Answers - Section 1 Reading Test | PDF",131]
