Set 9: Cross-Text Connections
Explanation
PASSAGE
Text 1 Gravity is the force that pulls things down. If you drop a ball, gravity makes it fall to the ground. Text 2 In space, there is very little gravity. Astronauts float inside their spaceships because they are not being pulled down.
Based on the texts, what happens when gravity is weak?
Detailed Answer Explanation
This question asks you to compare perspectives from two passages. Strong gravity (Earth): Things fall. Weak gravity (Space): Things float. Understanding how the authors relate to each other's views is essential. Identify whether they agree, disagree, or address different aspects of the topic. Focus on their specific claims and conclusions. When comparing texts, first identify each author's thesis or main argument. Then determine how these positions interact: do they complement each other, contradict each other, or address different aspects of the same issue? The relationship between texts reveals deeper meaning.
Key Evidence:
• "pulls things down"
• "float ... because ... not being pulled"
Why others are wrong: A (Still exist.), D (They float.), C (Irrelevant.).
