To prepare for careers in international development, some graduates are taking a three-pronged approach: studying data science and econometrics; fields that are relevant to impact assessment;_ learning a foreign language, which can be essential for certain positions abroad; and taking courses in public policy and administration.
A. NO CHANGE
B. studying data science and econometrics, fields that are relevant to impact assessment;
C.
studying data science and econometrics, fields that are relevant to impact assessment:
D.
studying data science and econometrics; fields that are relevant to impact assessment,
studying data science and econometrics, fields that are relevant to impact assessment;
why it is correct
This choice effectively punctuates the three phrases in the series. The semicolon after "assessment" indicates the end of the first item, while the comma after"econometrics" shows that "fields...assessment" is still part of the same item.

B) The focus on "big moments" is misleading—progress is more accurately measured by the small, steady accumulation of knowledge.
C) The focus on "big moments" is misleading, and progress is more accurately measured by the small, steady accumulation of knowledge.
D) The focus on "big moments" is misleading and progress is more accurately measured by the small, steady accumulation of knowledge.
Answer: A) By agreeing that narratives focusing on "uninterrupted climb" are misleading, but clarifying that the most significant misrepresentation involves the downplaying of incremental work, not just the periods of dormancy.
This is the correct answer because it accurately captures both the point of agreement and the subtle but crucial point of disagreement between the two texts.

Passage 1
The prevailing mythos of scientific discovery, that of the solitary genius experiencing a sudden "eureka" moment, is a dangerous oversimplification. While singular insights are a part of the process, they are invariably built upon a foundation of cumulative, often anonymous, labor. Most scientific advances are the result of collaborative, incremental progress, with countless researchers contributing small, steady improvements to existing knowledge. The romanticized narrative, while captivating, obscures the reality of how knowledge accumulates and risks devaluing the patient, meticulous work that underpins all significant breakthroughs. This emphasis on individual brilliance not only distorts the history of science but also sets a misleading benchmark for success.
Passage 2
The modern scientific enterprise is often criticized for its hyper-specialization, a system wherein researchers become masters of increasingly narrow sub-disciplines. Critics contend that this focus inhibits the cross-pollination of ideas necessary for paradigm-shifting discoveries, favoring instead a model of iterative refinement. Yet, this criticism overlooks the indispensable function of deep specialization. A discovery that might appear to a generalist as a revolutionary leap is often, to a specialist, a predictable outcome following years of meticulous inquiry within a specific domain. The "big picture" is often painted by many small strokes, and it is the specialist, with a deep understanding of their narrow canvas, who provides the most essential pigments. The true intellectual challenge is not to abandon specialization but to cultivate an environment where specialists can communicate and integrate their respective contributions.
A) The author of Passage 1 attributes the inaccuracy of the popular scientific narrative to its focus on individual contributions, while the author of Passage 2 attributes the inaccuracy to its focus on revolutionary leaps.
B) The author of Passage 1 criticizes the popular narrative for devaluing collaborative effort, while the author of Passage 2 defends a system that, while seemingly focused on individual specialization, is actually collaborative in its own way.
C) The author of Passage 1 laments that the popular narrative is uninspiring, while the author of Passage 2 argues that the reality of specialization is more inspiring than its critique suggests.
D) The author of Passage 1 argues that the narrative of sudden discovery is harmful, whereas the author of Passage 2 contends that the narrative of specialization is more accurate than its critics acknowledge.
Correct Answer: B) The author of Passage 1 criticizes the popular narrative for devaluing collaborative effort, while the author of Passage 2 defends a system that, while seemingly focused on individual specialization, is actually collaborative in its own way.

For centuries, the aurora borealis, the elusive “northern lights,” captivated observers with its ethereal dance across the night sky, their cause a subject of conjecture and myth. Early theories often attributed the phenomenon to mundane sources, such as sunlight reflecting off polar ice, a decidedly unpoetic explanation for such a cosmic ballet. It was not until the early twentieth century that scientists began to understand the charged particles streaming from the sun—the solar wind—which, upon colliding with Earth’s atmosphere, produce the spectacular light show we see today. [1] With this new understanding, the former mystery, having been stripped of its romantic mystique, became a subject of plasma physics and high-altitude atmospheric chemistry, leaving earlier beliefs by the wayside.
A) NO CHANGE
B) mystery, now having been stripped of its romantic mystique, becoming a subject
C) mystery was stripped of its romantic mystique and became a subject
D) mystery, stripped of its romantic mystique, became a subject
D) mystery, stripped of its romantic mystique, became a subject
This is the correct answer because it is the most grammatically concise and elegant option. The SAT rewards conciseness and fluidity, and this choice effectively uses a participle phrase ("stripped of its romantic mystique") to modify the subject "mystery.
