While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: • Cambodia’s Angkor Wat was built in the 1100s to honor the Hindu god Vishnu. • It has been a Buddhist temple since the sixteenth century. • Decorrelation stretch analysis is a novel digital imaging technique that enhances the contrast between colors in a photograph. • Archaeologist Noel Hidalgo Tan applied decorrelation stretch analysis to photographs he had taken of Angkor Wat’s plaster walls. • Tan’s analysis revealed hundreds of images unknown to researchers. The student wants to present Tan’s research to an audience unfamiliar with Angkor Wat. 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 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
