SAT R&W Command of Evidence (Hard) — Drill 26 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.
This set looks at how researchers read old structures for signs of deliberate sky-watching. Each item reports a finding about an alignment or a marked stone and asks which single piece of evidence decides between a built-on-purpose reading and a coincidence. The data items pair a table and a bar comparison; read each for the contrast it is set up to draw rather than for the single largest value. The quotation item draws from a nineteenth-century story.
