RW-CS-07 · Craft and Structure

How one text would respond to another

Cross-Text Connections · Stage 3

01 · Key idea

Apply one author’s position to the specific claim made by the other.

Build on: RW-CS-06

02 · Worked example

Text 1: “Remote work always reduces travel.” Text 2: “Some remote workers move farther away and drive more.” How would Text 2 respond?

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

Reasoning

Text 2 gives a counterexample to a universal claim.

Answer

It would challenge the word “always.”

03 · Next step

Practice questions remain in English, as on the SAT.
