They found as wind conditions intensified, the birds needed more attempts in order to make a successful landing. When the wind was still, almost 100% of landing attempts were successful. In a strong breeze, approximately 40% of attempts were successful. In near-gale conditions, only around 20% of attempts were successful.","stimulus_html":"<p>While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>In 2019, Emily Shepard and colleagues in the UK and Germany studied the effect of wind on auks’ success in landing at cliffside nesting sites.</li>\n<li>They found as wind conditions intensified, the birds needed more attempts in order to make a successful landing.</li>\n<li>When the wind was still, almost 100% of landing attempts were successful.</li>\n<li>In a strong breeze, approximately 40% of attempts were successful.</li>\n<li>In near-gale conditions, only around 20% of attempts were successful.</li>\n</ul>","stem_html":"<p>The student wants to summarize the study.

The sentence effectively summarizes the study, noting who conducted it, when it was conducted, and what its results showed: that auks’ landing success rate decreased as wind conditions intensified. </p><p>Choice A is incorrect. While the sentence presents the methodology of the study—that is, the approach taken by the researchers—it fails to summarize the study as a whole. Choice B is incorrect. While the sentence presents the aim, or goal, of the study, it fails to summarize the study as a whole. Choice C is incorrect. While the sentence indicates what Shepard studied, it fails to mention a key factor: the effect of wind. It thus fails to summarize the study as a whole. </p>","correct_answer":["D"],"has_media":false,"has_mathml":false,"has_table":false,"source_created_at":"2023-08-02T20:25:59.350000+00:00","source_updated_at":"2023-08-02T20:25:59.350000+00:00","options":[{"label":"A","content_html":"<p>For a 2019 study, researchers from the UK and Germany collected data on auks’ attempts to land at cliffside nesting sites in different wind conditions.</p>","ord":0},{"label":"B","content_html":"<p>Emily Shepard and her colleagues wanted to know the extent to which wind affected auks’ success in landing at cliffside nesting sites, so they conducted a study.</p>","ord":1},{"label":"C","content_html":"<p>Knowing that auks often need multiple attempts to land at their cliffside nesting sites, Emily Shepard studied the birds’ success rate, which was only around 20% in some conditions.</p>","ord":2},{"label":"D","content_html":"<p>Emily Shepard’s 2019 study of auks’ success in landing at cliffside nesting sites showed that as wind conditions intensified, the birds’ success rate decreased.</p>","ord":3}],"attribution":{"source_id":"cb_question_bank","source_name":"College Board digital SAT question bank (community dump)","rights_holder":"College Board","canonical_url":"https://satsuitequestionbank.collegeboard.org/","retrieved_from":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mdn522/sat-question-bank/main/data/cb-digital-questions.json","attribution":"SAT practice questions © College Board, from the official SAT Suite Question Bank.
