Explanation for Question 33 From the Writing Section on the 2019 March Sat

In question 33, we are providing an appropriate synonym for 2 this context. The sentence right now says much as the Olympics, 3 athletic competitions have inspired people around the world to embrace sport and exercise 4 reinvigorated artistic competitions could promote enthusiasm for artistic achievements. 5 So this word embrace here seems to fit relatively well when 6 we just read it out naturally, but let's take a look at our other 7 options as well. Answer choice B says envelop, 8 um, envelop, isn't really the appropriate word in context. 9 What has a similar meaning to embrace it? 10 Isn't usually used in that context of appreciating or, 11 um, diving into, 12 or, um, just generally like encouraging, 13 um, a shift. So answer choice B is D 14 doesn't quite fit. And for that reason is out, 15 um, C encompass, um, 16 again, encompass doesn't convey exactly the right connotative meaning. 17 Um, so similar to B, it is also out, 18 uh, and answer choice D at admit, um, 19 it would be like physically allowing sport and exercise entry rather 20 than sort of adopting it really, 21 um, embracing it. So answer choice D also lacks the appropriate meaning 22 a embrace is perfect. 23 Embrace here, suggest that people are appreciating sport and exercise, 24 really giving it a chance. Um, 25 this says, uh, reinvigorated and enthusiasm sort of in the parallel 26 situation with artistic competition. 27 So we get a sense that people are bringing a lot of excitement to 28 their new adoption of sport and exercise. 29 So embrace is the perfect meaning for that. 30 And we'll select the no change option for 33.
