SAT test writers have a strong preference for words with multiple meanings and for prehistoric cave paintings. A recent question combined both in a single passage. Let’s take a look!

The prehistoric horse featured in today’s picture is from the Niaux Cave in southwestern France. A prehistoric artist drew the image about 14,000 to 17,000 years ago. SAT test writers believe the painting creates a powerful and thus MOVING link of shared humanity between our prehistoric ancestors and modern viewers.
