Explanation for Question 40 From the Writing Section on the 2017 April Sat
Question 40, which choice best sets up the information that follows in the next 2 part of the sentence. So we're looking to set up that information. 3 That means we're going to want to look at what follows in the next 4 part of the sentence and select an answer choice that kind of matches up 5 with that. So the information that follows is about how, 6 um, this, 7 um, arrangement kind of worked out for being a Rocco. 8 Um, they say when you have to analyze your day and share with another 9 brand new shop, the next day, ready to run. 10 So in other words, they're explaining why the system works so well and a 11 kind of additional benefit of using the system of kind of checking in and 12 restating everything that happened that day with the other person. 13 So focusing on this detail, 14 we want some kind of previous introduction, 15 some kind of answer choice that touches on this additional benefit that they got 16 from the arrangement that they worked out. 17 So answer twice a the no change options says the job shared was the 18 highest ranking shared job with the company while that might be important. 19 It's not related to this idea of this increased performance. 20 It's this benefit that they achieved by sharing kind of daily summaries with each 21 other choice B they initially had doubts, 22 um, is not something that's really touched on by that second half of the 23 sentence, uh, choice. See the job that they shared requires 80 hours of work 24 total per week. Again, not something that they really discuss. 25 Um, and that second portion choice D is our best answer. 26 They found this collaboration enhanced their job performance. 27 And then the second bit of the sentence actually explains why. 28 And it tells us how that the collaboration enhanced their job performance. 29 So choice D is the best answer because it connects really well with that 30 quote that Levine provides at the end of the sentence. 31 So we select answer choice D for number 40.
