While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: • The Royal Alcázar of Seville is a historic royal palace in Andalucía, Spain. • The palace is famous for its intricate tilework. • The palace features majolica and arista tiles. • In the majolica style, designs are painted directly on the ceramic tiles. • In the arista style, designs are stamped into the ceramic tiles. The student wants to contrast the two styles of tiles. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
","rationale_html":"Choice C is the best answer. The sentence contrasts the two styles of tiles, noting that tiles in the arista style have designs stamped into them, whereas tiles in the majolica style have designs painted directly on them. Choice A is incorrect because the sentence indicates that the two styles of tile can be found in the same location; it doesn’t contrast the two styles of tile. Choice B is incorrect because the sentence indicates that the Royal Alcázar of Seville features tiles in both the majolica and arista styles; it doesn’t contrast the two styles of tile. Choice D is incorrect because the sentence indicates that the tilework of the Royal Alcázar of Seville includes tiles in the majolica style; it doesn’t contrast tiles in the majolica style with tiles in the arista style. 15 SAT PRACTICE TEST #7 ANSWER EXPLANATIONS SAT ANSWER EXPLANATIONS n READING AND WRITING: MODULE 1
