Prompt
Comparing Evidence: 6-7: Official SAT mapping?
💡Use the Text 1 → Text 2 → relationship sequence.
Answer
Craft and Structure → Cross-Text Connections.
Prompt
Comparing Evidence: 6-7: Three-stage model?
Answer
Understand Text 1, understand Text 2, then evaluate the stem-directed relationship.
Prompt
Comparing Evidence: 6-7: What makes an answer cross-text?
Answer
Its accuracy depends meaningfully on information from both texts.
ExampleTest the statement against both texts and preserve each qualification.
Prompt
Comparing Evidence: 6-7: Does the same topic prove agreement?
💡Use the Text 1 → Text 2 → relationship sequence.
Answer
No. A shared topic does not establish a shared claim.
Prompt
Comparing Evidence: 6-7: Scope words to protect?
Answer
May, can, often, primarily, only, some, and under specified conditions.
Prompt
Comparing Evidence: 6-7: Text-2-only trap?
Answer
A statement accurately supported by Text 2 that lacks support from Text 1 when both are required.
Prompt
Comparing Evidence: 6-7: Overgeneralization warning?
💡Use the Text 1 → Text 2 → relationship sequence.
Answer
Reject an absolute conclusion when either text states a condition, uncertainty, or limited context.
Prompt
Comparing Evidence: 6-7: Relationship prediction?
Answer
Before reading choices, complete: Text 2 ___ Text 1 by ___.
ExampleTest the statement against both texts and preserve each qualification.
Prompt
Comparing Evidence: 6-7: Why identify the stem criterion?
Answer
One pair may support several true relationships, but only the requested comparison answers the question.
Prompt
Comparing Evidence: 6-7: Final verification?
💡Use the Text 1 → Text 2 → relationship sequence.
Answer
Point to exact support in Text 1 and Text 2, then check attribution, relationship, scope, and certainty.
Prompt
Comparing Evidence: 6-7: Direct agreement?
Answer
Both texts affirm the same relevant proposition with compatible scope.
Prompt
Comparing Evidence: 6-7: Partial agreement?
Answer
The texts share a bounded claim but differ elsewhere in emphasis, scope, cause, or interpretation.
Prompt
Comparing Evidence: 6-7: Alternative explanation?
💡Use the Text 1 → Text 2 → relationship sequence.
Answer
Text 2 may accept Text 1's observation while proposing a different cause or mechanism.
ExampleTest the statement against both texts and preserve each qualification.
Prompt
Comparing Evidence: 6-7: Different evidence?
Answer
The texts use distinct information sources; that fact alone does not determine whether their claims agree.
Prompt
Comparing Evidence: 6-7: Unsupported intent warning?
Answer
Do not infer admiration, hostility, certainty, or motive unless the text establishes it.
Prompt
Comparing Evidence: Evidence vs interpretation
💡Use the Text 1 → Text 2 → relationship sequence.
Answer
Evidence is the observation or information presented; interpretation states what an author thinks it means.
Prompt
Comparing Evidence: Can different evidence support compatible claims?
Answer
Yes. Different evidence bases can converge on the same limited conclusion.
Prompt
Comparing Evidence: Evidence comparison map
Answer
For each text, record evidence type → observation → interpretation → claim.
ExampleTest the statement against both texts and preserve each qualification.
Prompt
Comparing Evidence: Reversed-evidence trap
💡Use the Text 1 → Text 2 → relationship sequence.
Answer
Assigning Text 1's evidence source to Text 2 or vice versa.
Prompt
Comparing Evidence: What this topic does not ask
Answer
It does not ask you to choose new evidence; it asks how evidence already in the paired texts relates to their claims.
