Question Type
RC analogy
The last paragraph indicates that Latin American poetry doesn’t have a long-standing past to romanticize. The correct answer to this question should involve a situation in which something doesn’t have long-standing roots.
a
A family moves ███ ██████████ ██ █ ███ ████ ███ ████████████ █████ ███████████ ████ ███ ███████████ ████████
This is the best answer. A family moving its restaurant into a new town is analogous to Spanish being used in poetry in a new location (Latin America). The incorporation of local ingredients is analogous to Latin American poetry’s incorporation of elements outside Spanish poetry and Spanish-language cultures.
b
A family moves ███ ████████ ██ █ ███ ████ █████ ███ ████████ █████ ██ ███ ████████ █████████
There’s no parallel to “fails in its original location.” We have no reason to think Spanish poetry failed before it developed in Latin America.
c
A family with █ ████████████████████ █████ ██████ █████████████ ██ █████ ██ ███████ ███ █████ ██ ███ ████████ ███████████
This is more parallel to Spanish poetry, which romanticizes its past.
d
A family does ████████ ████ ███ ████████ ██ █████ ██ █████████ ███ ██████ █████
This doesn’t parallel the evolution of Latin American poetry, which didn’t have a long-standing past to explore.
e
A family eagerly ███████████ ███ ██████ ████████ ███ █████ █████ ███████████ ██ █████████ █████████ ██ ████████ ███ █████████
There’s no clear analogy to Latin American poetry in (E). We’re never told that Latin American poetry refuses to develop a tradition. It doesn’t have a long-standing tradition, but that doesn’t imply that it refuses to develop one.
