<p>Here is a Level 5 sentence completion questions from a past collegeboard paper:</p>

<p>Q. The picture book ‘Red Sings from Treetops’ _________ the changing seasons, with whimsical illustrations that _________ the colors, sounds, and tastes associated with different times of the year. </p>

<p>(B) provokes . . detail
(E) evokes . . epitome</p>

<p>Please explain the answer. I am writing the SAT day after tomorrow.</p>

<p>the answer is:</p>

<p>E. Why not B?</p>

2

<p>Choice E is more detailed and bigger words. :stuck_out_tongue: </p>

3

<p>dictionary.reference.com provides the following definition of evoke:

It’s exactly what you’re looking for.</p>

<p>I assume you meant to type “epitomize,” not “epitome” ?</p>

4

<p>Provoke means to anger through use of vexatious comments or another form of communication. Some words in our day to day language has different means than what we would expect on the SAT. Be CAREFUL. One other exmaple is travesty. Google it’s definition–it’s different from what you think it’d be.</p>

5

<p>I’m pretty sure answer (E) above has a typo. Otherwise, its incorrect.</p>

6

<p>Yes. It should be epitomize.</p>

<p>Thank You for the responses. This sure was a confusing one :/</p>
