Set 6: Cross-Text Connections (Intermediate)
Explanation
PASSAGE
Text 1 Saving money is important for the future. You might need it for an emergency or to buy something big like a house. Text 2 Spending money helps the economy. When people buy things, businesses make money and can hire more workers.
How do the texts present different views on money?
Detailed Answer Explanation
This question asks you to compare perspectives from two passages. Text 1: Saving = Future/Emergency (Personal). Text 2: Spending = Economy/Jobs (Public/Growth). 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:
• "Saving ... important"
• "Spending ... helps the economy"
Why others are wrong: C (Spend/Save.), A (Focus on saving importance.), D (Legal.).
