...it worse, I was always involved in front-row fashion in things that I cared about- I have never liked enjoying things from a distance or from the backseat. This was largely exacerbated by my grandfather, a man who had taught himself everything he knew. He was a professional musician, could play multiple instruments, loved to paint and draw, and even had a pretty good conspiracy theory regarding Jack the Ripper. He encouraged me to read...

The one I think is most relevant to the SAT and other standardized tests asks, "what is the author not merely saying with his or her words, but doing with them"? When we put ourselves in the shoes of the test-writers, not just the shoes of the test-taker, a lot becomes really clear...
