Today’s SAT question of the day is a sentence completion question that required me to choose a word I didn’t really know for its answer.  (Don’t worry, I survived.)

We know that the students had to read a whole book, including materials found at the beginning of the book.

So, that was my prediction: materials at the beginning.  I knew 4/5 of the answer choice words, so I felt confident that my choice of C, prefatory, was correct.  Prefatory was my first pick anyhow, based on its prefix, “pre”.  It also is very close to the word “preface”, which is, of course, stuff found at the start of something.
