Explanation for Question 14 From the Writing Section on the 2019 March Sat

For question number 14, having already made a few films in this vein 2 of thrill comedy, the invent inspired deployed to create his most daring 3 film yet, and he invited Strother to be involved. 4 So it really, you get this sentence here. And most specifically, 5 how to actually phrase this sentiment, 6 the event inspired Lloyd. So the way it's written right now, 7 the don't change option C is the event as the main subject of 8 this sentence, the event inspired Lloyd. 9 So Lloyd is having the action done to him rather than actually being the 10 subject of this sentence. So because the app, 11 the actual focus of this passage and the paragraph is about Lloyd. 12 We want Lloyd to be the subject, the main subject of that sentence. 13 So we want Lloyd to be doing the action. 14 So answer choice, a isn't as strong as answer choice B, 15 where we see Lloyd was inspired. 16 In other words, Lloyd is actually the subject here rather than the event. 17 And then answer choice has C and D. 18 We see a similar to a, 19 a lack of emphasis on Lloyd as that subject. 20 So CSS, it was Lloyd's inspiration, 21 making inspiration that made subject and D it's inspiration led 22 Lloyd. So the it's inspiration is the subject is there as well. 23 So answer choices, C and D as well as a don't put that emphasis 24 on Lloyd our main subject. So they don't work as well. 25 We wouldn't select answer choice B for number 14.
