<p>Sorry for the dramatic title... But should one address both the exercpt and essay q for the essay portion? for example, in one practice test, the exercpt talked about technology and how it's ruining our lives, but the question asked does change better our lives. Does that mean we should keep the excerpt in mind and relate the essay to technology, or should I just answer the question?</p>
<p>I read but never really address the excerpt . The excerpt is simply something to get you to start thinking.</p>
