Its setting up the question that is the hard task on the Math section of the SAT. Read the question, if you don't understand it, read it again! I cannot tell you how many of my students make silly mistakes on math questions because of poor reading comprehension. Focus only on what is being asked. Focus only on what is being given. Do not invent things that simply are not there. Today's question of the day was a classic--Two sets of two lines were drawn. Only two of those lines labeled (l and m) were specifically given as parallel. The other two lines looked parallel but YOU CANNOT ASSUME THAT THEY ARE PARALLEL! If you assumed they were parallel your answer would be totally different and wrong. Remember there is always a wrong answer waiting for you if you are careless and misread the question.
