SAT English QUESTION #5353
Question 1
Text 1: Graphic novels are gaining popularity, but they shouldn't be deemed literature. Literature, by definition, uses only language to tell stories, whereas graphic novels rely on images and use text minimally. Text 2: Graphic novels use both text and imagery to tell a story. Without the dialogue, the images wouldn't be fully understood; the meaning comes from the blend of both. Furthermore, the writing in many graphic novels is as high-quality as standard prose. Based on the texts, how would the author of Text 2 most likely respond to the overall argument presented in Text 1?
  • By asserting that language plays a more important role in graphic novels than the author of Text 1 recognizes✔️
  • By acknowledging that the author of Text 1 has identified a flaw that is common to all graphic novels
  • By suggesting that the story lines of certain graphic novels are more difficult to understand than the author of Text 1 claims
  • By agreeing with the author of Text 1 that most graphic novels aren't as well crafted as most literary works are
Correct Answer Explanation
Text 2 argues that language is essential and often high-quality in graphic novels, directly countering Text 1's claim that they use language only sparingly.
