While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: • In 1851, German American artist Emanuel Leutze painted Washington Crossing the Delaware. • His huge painting (149 × 255 inches) depicts the first US president crossing a river with soldiers in the Revolutionary War. • In 2019, Cree artist Kent Monkman painted mistikôsiwak (Wooden Boat People): Resurgence of the People. • Monkman’s huge painting (132 × 264 inches) was inspired by Leutze’s. • It portrays Indigenous people in a boat rescuing refugees. The student wants to emphasize a similarity between the two paintings. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
Correct answer: C (parsed from the explanation — this source omits an answer key for this item)
Explanation
Choice C is the best answer. The sentence emphasizes a similarity between the two paintings, noting that Leutze’s painting (which measures 149 × 255 inches) and Monkman’s painting (which measures 132 × 264 inches) are both very large. Choice A is incorrect. The sentence mentions that Monkman’s painting was completed in 2019 and Leutze’s was completed in 1851; it doesn’t emphasize a similarity between the two paintings. Choice B is incorrect. While the sentence acknowledges that one painting was inspired by the other, it emphasizes differences between the two paintings; it doesn’t emphasize a similarity between them. Choice D is incorrect. The sentence mentions a difference between the two paintings; it doesn’t emphasize a similarity between them. 31 SAT PRACTICE TEST #10 ANSWER EXPLANATIONS
