SATs: the reading paper, sentence 2
Many marks are lost not from not knowing but from not doing exactly what the question says: "find and copy one word" means one word, and "tick two" means two ticks.
Who acts: question, tick · What happens: lose, not know, not do, say, find, copy · To what, where: Many marks, one word, two ticks · Speech: someone speaks here
