About This Drill

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.

Questions in This Drill

  1. Which finding, if true, would most strongly support the deliberate-alignment reading over the chance reading?
  2. Based on the table, which stone best fits the team's two-part test for a deliberate solar marker?
  3. Which quotation from the story most directly supports the student's claim about how the narrator values his way of living?
  4. Which finding, if true, would most strongly favor the lunar-calendar interpretation over the decoration interpretation?
  5. Which statement best compares how strongly the two sites favor sky-event bearings over ordinary ones?
