Explanation for Question 15 From the Writing Section on the 2017 May Sat
Question 15 asks us to state the correct form or tents 2 of the underline section, which is we'll say, 3 um, let's read a sentence and determine what time, 4 what tends we're talking in. So it says, 5 for instance, a historical consultants for master and commander will say the directors 6 decided to emphasize the camaraderie of the ship's officers meant dumping the periods, 7 formal social protocol. So we can already say that it's not going to be, 8 we'll say it's not in the future because of the word meant. 9 So we know it's not going to be, we'll say we want to figure 10 out what tends the rest of the paragraph is. 11 The rest of the sentences are in so that we can determine what this 12 one should be in. Um, 13 so we're probably going to look for the verbs and see what are in 14 we, we said mentors in the past, but let's just make sure with another 15 one Duncan Henderson's the film's producer acknowledged the tension 16 again in the past test. 17 It's simple. It's not, um, 18 like C or D. It's not like had been saying it's not had been 19 acknowledged is simple. It's just acknowledged. 20 So you're going to cross out the C B is a simple version. 21 It's just past tense of the words said, 22 and if we read it, um, it sounds for instance, 23 a historical consultants for master and commander said, 24 the directors decided to emphasize the commodity of the ship's officers meant dumping 25 the period's formal social protocol. 26 So that sounds right. We're in the past and it matches the rest of 27 the paragraph.
