Explanation for Question 41 From the Writing Section on the 2019 April Sat

All right, for question number 41, 2 the sentence here reads pilots who fly planes for crop dusting and other purposes 3 experienced disquiet regarding the presence of drones in the airspace above farms. 4 So what we want to do is find the right way to express their 5 distaste for the drones in the airspace above farms. 6 So our correct answer here is going to be choice D worry about that 7 kind of makes the most sense experience. 8 Quiet sounds kind of unnecessarily formal, 9 um, experiencing disquiet. The reader kind of has to think to themselves for an 10 extra second to work out what that means. 11 So it's not the best way to write this. Um, 12 it's really unnatural to say that you experienced disquiet about something. 13 So a is out B stew over kind of has the opposite problem. 14 It's a bit too informal. You wouldn't really expect to see somebody stewing over 15 something in a piece of academic writing and answer choice C get all 16 worked up about kind of a similar idea to informal for this context, 17 just like stew over. So we can eliminate that as well. 18 Do you worry about, um, isn't too informal, 19 but it's also more natural than choice a. 20 So that's going to be our most effective way to say that these pilots 21 who are flying planes over farms dislike the presence of drones in 22 that airspace. So D is our best answer here.
