Ease Into Prep with an SAT^® Question of the Day

The question asks you to complete the text based on data from the table. The sentence with the blank doesn't give much context, so look in the rest of the passage for additional details. The correct answer will reflect several criteria: 6 dozen cookies, 4 or fewer cups of flour, no nuts.

Compare these requirements against the table. The title indicates that the table shows information for making 6 dozen cookies, so focus on the remaining criteria. Eliminate the first two cookie types, Peanut Delights and Ginger Buttons, because they require more than 4 cups of flour. Now eliminate White Chocolate and Oatmeal Crunch, since they contain nuts. Choice (B), Double Chocolate, is correct because it requires less than 4 cups of flour (3.25 cups) and does not contain nuts.
