[Video] Q44: No change or make or is making or has made

Explanation for Question 44 From the Writing Section on the 2019 March Sat

Looking now at the final question of this section, 2 number 44, what we're trying to do here is figure out the appropriate for 3 tents. So the sentence right now reads yet for many, 4 a love animals and a commitment to animal conservation makes these sacrifices, 5 not just tolerable, but meaningful. So the verb that we're looking for here 6 is both plural and present tense, 7 plural, because we're talking about a love of animals and a commitment 8 to animal conservation. So we have kind of two factors making the sacrifices 9 meaningful. So because of that, and in fact, 10 we have two factors. We know we are looking to make this plural 11 two subjects, making the sacrifices meaningful, 12 and we know that we want a present tense verb, 13 um, because we're talking about, um, 14 what's currently happening with us who keepers, 15 um, and addition, additionally, 16 there's a lot of other present tense verbs kind of in the surrounding paragraphs 17 zookeepers perform. 18 Um, they exemplify, 19 um, so we're looking at a lot of present tense verbs as well. 20 So we want plural and present tense answer choice a is, 21 um, is going to be singular because of this as makes 22 would be used when we have a singular subject, 23 which doesn't work here because we have a plural subject choice. 24 B is our correct answer. It uses the present tense and it uses the 25 plural form. Multiple things make a singular subject makes, 26 so it matches the plural tense of what we're talking about. 27 Uh, C is making, um, 28 that ING form is unnecessary. 29 We just want a plain and simple present tense verb here, 30 and choice D has made again, similar to see. 31 We just want that plain and simple present tense verb here. 32 Just making sure to match up that plural, 33 um, with answer choice B make for number 44.
