The sentence effectively presents Tan’s research to an audience unfamiliar with Angkor Wat, explaining the results of the research and identifying Angkor Wat as a temple in Cambodia. Choice A is incorrect. While the sentence presents Tan’s research, it fails to explain what Angkor Wat is for an audience unfamiliar with the temple. Choice B is incorrect. The sentence emphasizes the role that decorrelation stretch analysis played in Tan’s research; it doesn’t present the research, which would require specifying where it was conducted. Choice D is incorrect. While the sentence explains what Angkor Wat is, it fails to present Tan’s research. 17 SAT PRACTICE TEST #4 ANSWER EXPLANATIONS</p>","correct_answer":["C"],"has_media":false,"has_mathml":false,"has_table":false,"source_created_at":null,"source_updated_at":null,"options":[{"label":"A","content_html":"<p>Tan photographed Angkor Wat’s plaster walls and then applied decorrelation stretch analysis to the photographs.</p>","ord":0},{"label":"B","content_html":"<p>Decorrelation stretch analysis is a novel digital imaging technique that Tan used to enhance the contrast between colors in a photograph.</p>","ord":1},{"label":"C","content_html":"<p>Using a novel digital imaging technique, Tan revealed hundreds of images hidden on the walls of Angkor Wat, a Cambodian temple.</p>","ord":2},{"label":"D","content_html":"<p>Built to honor a Hindu god before becoming a Buddhist temple, Cambodia’s Angkor Wat concealed hundreds of images on its plaster walls.</p>","ord":3}],"attribution":{"source_id":"cb_practice_pdf","source_name":"College Board full-length SAT practice tests (PDF)","rights_holder":"College Board","canonical_url":"https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/practice/practice-tests/paper","retrieved_from":"https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/practice/practice-tests/paper","attribution":"Full-length SAT practice tests 4–11 © College Board, published free at satsuite.collegeboard.org.","disclaimer":"Extracted from PDF layout: equations, figures and tables do not survive intact.
