 The `read_sf()` function also allows for reading just parts of the file into RAM with two possible mechanisms.
 The first one is related to the `query` argument, which allows specifying what part of the data to read with [the OGR SQL query text](https://gdal.org/user/ogr_sql_dialect.html).
 An example below extracts data for Tanzania only (Figure \@ref(fig:readsfquery):A).
-It is done by specifying that we want to get all columns (`SELECT *`) from the `"world"` layer for which the `name_long` equals to `"Tanzania"`:

 The second mechanism uses the `wkt_filter` argument.

 Let's try it using a small example -- we want to read polygons from our file that intersect with the buffer of 50,000 meters of Tanzania's borders.
 To do it, we need to prepare our "filter" by (a) creating the buffer (Section \@ref(buffers)), (b) converting the `sf` buffer object into an `sfc` geometry object with `st_geometry()`, and (c) translating geometries into their well-known text representation with `st_as_text()`:
