Explanation for Question 25 From the Writing Section on the 2018 April Sat

Hey guys. So in question 25, we need to figure out what are we 2 referring to here and what language would show use for referring to it. 3 And this says along one's laborious journey from planning to publication, 4 however, Johnson's dictionary had become a book with more humble ambitions, 5 one that no longer aspire to preserve the purity of the language. 6 So what's happening here is it's talking about the dictionary and the laborious journey 7 that it undertook, and this it's getting possession of this laborious journey to this 8 dictionary. And we know we're talking with the dictionary because of the previous sentence 9 and because of what's in the sentence before it, so we say ones or 10 each ones, those answer choices all would be if it were a person like, 11 and we were talking about that person in general, like, 12 you know, um, like one, 13 one should always be careful along. 14 One's lived laborious journey from planning to publication. 15 However, you know, this and this we're talking about the dictionary. 16 It shouldn't be referred to as ones because it's this like literal object where 17 we should use the word it. Now it's apostrophe S is 18 a, um, is a contraction, 19 which means it is whereas it's is the possessive form saying, 20 you know, the, the dictionary it's laborious journey. 21 So it's possessive versus like they're possessive for a group like, 22 um, the group and their laborious journey versus the man or 23 the man or the, you know, the cat and it's laborious journey. 24 So we need to use it's without an apostrophe to give the pop the 25 proper up possession to this.
