Explanation for Question 17 From the Writing Section on the 2019 April Sat

Question number 17 is asking us about underlined 2 portion here, the sentence as a whole reads as audience members marveled 3 at the authentic looking scenery, actors portraying Roman citizens streamed onto 4 the stage each be decked in distinctive clothing, 5 footwear, and with head dresses. So what we want to do here is make 6 sure that this last detail is actually in parallel with the other details. 7 So in order to make this in parallel, 8 we need to kind of present each list item in the same format. 9 So when we say each actor portraying Roman citizens was be 10 decked in distinctive clothing. 11 We want to say distinctive clothing, but wear and head dresses. 12 Um, so they're all sort of presented in the same style. 13 Um, it would only make sense to say with head dresses, 14 if we were saying with distinctive clothing, 15 with distinctive footwear and with distinctive head dresses or with clothing, 16 with footwear and with head dresses, we want to keep all of those terms 17 kind of equal the same in parallel. 18 So for that reason, we're going to select answer choice D so that this 19 sentence reads distinctive clothing, footwear, 20 and hunt dresses, um, wearing her dresses in her dresses or with head 21 dresses would disrupt the pattern. 22 That's kind of previously established with clothing and footwear. 23 So we eliminate those answer choices, 24 leaving only answer choice D for question number 17.
