About This Drill

SAT R&W Command of Evidence (Hard) — Drill 24 is a Reading & Writing practice drill covering Hard Command of Evidence. It contains 5 original questions created by Brian Stewart, a Barron's test prep author with over 20 years of tutoring experience.

How much water a river carries past a point each second -- its discharge -- responds to rain, snowmelt, and what the land upstream does with water before it reaches the channel. The finding items here ask which gauge reading or watershed fact decides between rival causes of a flow change; the two data items, a table and a bar comparison, reward reading for the difference between two responses rather than for either one alone.

Questions in This Drill

  1. Which finding, if true, would most strongly support the early-snowmelt explanation over the heavy-rain explanation?
  2. Which values, entered for the heavily forested subbasin, best continue the pattern that forest cover lowers the peak and lengthens the lag?
  3. Which result would best fit the prediction that follows from the groundwater-baseflow explanation?
  4. Which statement best compares how much paving changed the two flow conditions, and is supported by the graph?
  5. Which finding, if true, would most weaken the claim that removing the diversion caused the higher late-summer flow?
