02 · Worked example

Notes: “Site A had 12 species in 2020; Site B had 8. In 2024, A had 15 and B had 14.” Goal: emphasize the gap narrowing. Write a sentence.

This teaching example is original and is not an official SAT question.

Reasoning

The difference is 12−8=4, then 15−14=1.

Answer

The species gap narrowed from four in 2020 to one in 2024.
