Modded SAT Question Bank by Abdullah Mallik

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

  • Novelist Willa Cather grew up in Nebraska and attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
  • Some of Cather’s best-known novels are set in Nebraska.
  • Two such novels are O Pioneers! (1913) and My Ántonia (1918).
  • Cather’s novels describe the experiences of immigrants who settled in the Great Plains.

The student wants to identify the setting of Cather’s novel My Ántonia. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

  1. My Ántonia is set in Nebraska, where Cather grew up.

  2. Cather, author of My Ántonia, described the experiences of immigrants in her novels. 

  3. Among Cather’s best-known novels are O Pioneers! (1913) and My Ántonia (1918).

  4. Cather attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and set some of her novels in Nebraska.

Correct Answer: A
Rationale

Choice A is the best answer. This choice directly identifies the setting of Cather’s novel My Ántonia as Nebraska.

Choice B is incorrect. This choice mentions that Cather wrote about immigrants, but it doesn’t indicate where they lived. Choice C is incorrect. This choice mentions that My Ántonia is one of Cather’s best-known novels but doesn’t state where it takes place. Choice D is incorrect. This choice mentions that some of Cather’s novels are set in Nebraska, but it doesn’t specify which ones, so we can’t be certain that My Ántonia is one of them. It also includes irrelevant information about Cather’s education.
