Explanation for Question 27 From the Writing Section on the 2018 May Sat
Question number 27. Let's read the sentence out. 2 Since actors remained audible under all of these conditions and circumstances, 3 the mystery of the theaters, acoustics and dirt, 4 um, conditions and circumstances here, 5 uh, sort of have a redundant meeting, um, 6 conditions and circumstances are pretty overlapping in terms of what they indicate we 7 want to do here is really just be as brief, 8 as concise as possible. We never want to use too many words when we 9 could explain our point in fewer words. 10 So looking at our answer choices, um, 11 conditions and circumstances, the no change option is redundant choice B conditions. 12 And in these situations again, redundant saying the same thing with too many words, 13 um, and choices, conditions, and we're able to be heard. 14 Um, also redundant this detail about being able to be heard is the same 15 as remaining audible. So we don't need to say that both times, 16 um, leaving answer choice D conditions very brief gets our point across 17 effectively. So that's our correct answer with these kinds of questions. 18 You always want to make sure that any answer choice that you pick, 19 there's no redundant meanings. You're not saying the same thing twice. 20 The reader gets the point. You want to be concise if you've already said 21 something, steer clear of that, meaning, 22 um, you don't need to repeat yourself. So answer choice D conditions is the 23 most concise. It gets the point across. 24 So we're going to choose that for number 27.
