Explanation for Question 17 From the Writing Section on the 2019 March Sat
For question number 17, we are trying to provide a transition word or 2 phrase. Um, here we have, 3 that is so let's see how that works so far in the sentence. 4 The sentence right now reads he is a full-scale replica of two floors 5 of Los Angeles is international savings building and set them on the roofs of 6 progressionally taller buildings that is, 7 he placed the rappel, got on a platform on top of two story, 8 building that a seven story building than a 13 story building. 9 So the idea here is that the second piece of the sentence provides the 10 actual detail that flushes out what we're talking about, 11 the first part. So the first part of the sentence tells us that he's 12 using a replica. The second part of the sentence tells us how he's using 13 that replica. So when we look at our possible transition words and the answer 14 choices, a choice based has however, 15 which would be used to illustrate a contrast between those two parts of the 16 sentence. 17 So that's not what we have here. Intertwined C furthermore is close. 18 It does provide a suggestion to the reader that we are continuing along, 19 down a similar path. However, 20 furthermore suggests that we're bringing in a Dew point that kind of compliments the 21 first, not that we are further elaborating on that original point. 22 So C is close, but also it correct. 23 And answer choice D it's dead like answer choice B however is going to 24 be incorrect because it's adjusted contrast that isn't really there...
