Explanation for Question 5 From the Writing Section on the 2017 April Sat

Question number five, the sentence starts off more importantly, 2 electronic records, accelerate communication between different and various healthcare providers 3 allowing for more efficient patient treatment. 4 So the question is directing us towards this part, 5 different and various healthcare providers in this case, 6 different and various have a very, 7 very similar meaning. There's almost no meaningful distinction between these two words. 8 So it's kind of redundant to use both of them. 9 Um, and they asked, it always asks us to avoid redundancy in our writing. 10 If we can say something with one word, we don't want to add extra 11 words. So we're going to eliminate this no change option that includes both different 12 and various, um, answer choice B just different is our correct answer. 13 It's the simplest way to get our message across twice. 14 See diverse different, again is redundant. 15 Since these two words would have a similar meaning in this context and answer 16 choice D singularly different again is redundant. 17 There's no need to include the word singularly in front of different. 18 It doesn't add anything to the meaning of different. 19 So it's redundant. So we want to select the most simple least wordy answer 20 choice in this case choice B.
