Explanation for Question 28 From the Writing Section on the 2019 April Sat
Okay. Looking at 28, we're looking for a transition word to use here. 2 Um, the sentence starts here. However, 3 Berkeley anthropologists saw contradiction in this idea, 4 sound complexity should occur when there is pressure to identify a mate of the 5 same species, it should not occur among birds and camp captivity where this pressure 6 is lower. So the two parts of the sentence, 7 one is the idea that sound complexity occurs when there's pressure to identify a 8 mate. Um, and then the second part comes, 9 um, that says, 10 um, song complexity would be less likely to occur 11 where the pressure is lower. So these two sentences are kind of linked the 12 first, the first part, um, 13 gives us the overall principle, 14 the general concept, the, the main finding. 15 And then the second part gives us another statement that we should expect to 16 be true based off of the overall finding in that first part. 17 So based on the first part, it makes sense that song complexity would be 18 reduced among birds in captivity, where the pressure to find a mate is lower. 19 So we need to find a transition word that helps to convey that meaning 20 that we have a general overarching finding and then an additional fact 21 that we would expect to be true based off of that, 22 that overall finding. So answer choice, 23 um, a, the no change option says after all, 24 that's kind of the opposite. We would maybe say after all, 25 if these two, these two parts were switched in order, 26 um, it might m...
