Explanation for Question 24 From the Writing Section on the 2019 March Sat
Okay. Looking now at question number 24. 2 What we need to do for this question is to substitute in the appropriate 3 word or phrase for this underlined portion to complete the sentence. 4 So when we read the sentence as is, 5 we can tell that there isn't really an active verb that makes us a 6 full, complete sentence. Right now, the sentence reads the pentathlon, 7 which awarded Olympic medals for achievements in architecture, 8 literature, music, painting, and sculpture, 9 and which was a part of every Olympic games until 1948. 10 So this sentence right now sort of sounds like there's something missing. 11 Like there's an additional detail that's supposed to come at the end. 12 So the no change option is definitely out, 13 but what we need to do is figure out whether that, 14 and, or just fully deleting and which will most effectively 15 bring the sentence together. So if we read the sentence with that in place, 16 the pentathlon, that was a part of every Olympic games until 1948. 17 Um, also doesn't flow correctly. 18 There isn't an active, urban that sentence either. 19 There's still something missing. Um, 20 and if you notice you can actually read the sentence without this parent's medical 21 detail, which awarded Olympic medals for achievements in architecture, 22 literature, music, painting, and sculpture. And that could just make this a little bit 23 easier as we go through our answer choices. 24 So that rolls out answer choice B and then looking at answer choice C 25...
