Explanation for Question 33 From the Writing Section on the 2018 May Sat
Question 33 asks to make this paragraph most logical sentence seven should be 2 placed where sentence seven says at Epidaurus the combination 3 of virtual pitch on the sound dampening effect of the seats allows performance voices 4 to be fully and clearly heard from any seat. 5 So let's see where that makes the most sense. 6 Um, 7 here we noticed that, um, 8 this kind of wraps up nicely, the discussion that we're talking about, 9 um, it references both the virtual pitch 10 and sound dampening effect. So it makes the most sense to introduce the sentence 11 after we've discussed both virtual pitch and the sound dampening effect, 12 um, which we can really only do at the end of the paragraph. 13 Um, the filtering effect is explained up here, 14 uh, at the beginning, we wouldn't want this to come for that. 15 Um, and we also wouldn't want the muting by the theater seats of these 16 low tones to come after this detail. 17 This is a really good concluding detail. It references what we have established earlier 18 in the paragraph. So for that reason, we want to keep it at the 19 end. We want to keep it where it is now, 20 placing it at the very beginning before sentence one after sentence one or after 21 sentence two, um, would mean kind of introducing this before we've actually 22 explained exactly what the sound dampening effect of the seeds is, 23 what the virtual filtering effect is. 24 Um, so we wouldn't want to do that. That would be confusing for the 25 reader. The sentence really makes the most sense as a concluding sentence. 26 Once those details have already been explained. So that's why we're going to keep 27 the sentence where it is now and select answer choice a for number 33,
