Practice one SAT question at a time

Questions come from the Bluebook question bank.

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

  • The ancient Arab dhow was a sailing vessel distinguishable by its triangular sails and stitched hull construction.
  • Dhows were used primarily for trade along the coasts of Arab, South Asian, and East African countries.
  • Contemporary shipbuilders in Oman use a mix of modern and traditional materials to build replicas of ancient dhows.
  • Most of the materials used are traditional.
  • Replica hulls are stitched together using the same traditional coconut palm fiber rope used on the hulls of ancient dhows. 

The student wants to make a generalization about the materials used in dhow replicas. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
