Here's one from the English portion:
Not all authors trusted that the theater audience would automatically understand their plays in the intended manner. Thus, they repeatedly attempted to make it clear to their public that visiting the theater was not merely for the purpose of entertainment, but rather to draw lessons from the play offered onstage. It was, therefore, important for the viewer __________________ so as to facilitate interpretation of the content. This idea was developed by Bertolt Brecht with his ‘epic theater,’ which used alienation as a strategy to prevent the identification of the public with the figures of the drama. Through scattered narration and commentary throughout the play, for example, the viewers are invited to take a step back from the performance. In this way, they are given hints to better understand the play while the conclusion is left open so as to leave them to
draw their own conclusions. [3점]
① to imitate the actor’s performance
② to learn about the play beforehand
③ to identify himself with the actors on the stage
④ to bridge the gap between himself and the actors
⑤ to create a distance from the actions on the stage
The last period of the day is an optional second foreign-language section, with students being able to choose from German, French, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Arabic, or Chinese characters. I looked at that portion last April, and the news that although Japanese is the second-most taught foreign language in the country, with 90% of high schools in Seoul offering it, Arabic is the "most-prefered" choice on this portion because, as the Korea Herald said:
Many students believe it is possible to get high standard scores in Arabic without studying much because no high school teaches the language.

It would have to be #4 for to identify wouldn't imply alienation as said in the text. The word gap then would the key word to "guessing the answer".
No, it's 5. I guessed 5, but I doubted it. So I looked up the answer.
That's a very hard test, isn't it? I haven't taken the SAT, though I have taken the GRE. The questions at the end seem as hard as the GRE, or maybe it's just me.
"...as a strategy to prevent the identification of the public with the figures of the drama."
That would be the key to the answer. It would be #5, since the idea is to NOT have the audience identify with the performers.
AH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Did anyone check out the first question in French?
1) Nous avons quatre saisons en Corée.
1) We have four seasons in Korea.
I LOVE IT.
Upon further examination of the French exam, this was clearly written by someone who speaks French as a second language. There's A LOT of mistakes.
Let me check the Spanish exam...
I love that question 4 in the Spanish exam has absolutely no Spanish in it.
The rest looks pretty solid... even witty in some places. The answer to question 5, for example, is ④ cuarto which translates to room, quarter and/or fourth.

A very clear reminder of why I hate standardized testing so much and why accomplishing a test with high marks indicates nothing but an ability to study to :
1) identify with the test maker.
2) interpret and analyze the answer.
3) cram without learning.
4) plug in answers in a language in which one cannot express even conversation-level competence.
Choose the answer that best suits the passage.
