Explanation for Question 14 From the Writing Section on the 2019 May Sat
Question number 14 is asking us how we want to construct this detail. 2 Um, this says general Napoleon, 3 so admired the poems to where he commissioned two paintings to be hung 4 in his summer palace. So we have to make sure that we're selecting the 5 answer choice that flows the most Moodley and sort of sounds the most like 6 we might've read before. So here are no change option. 7 The general admired the poems to where he commissioned, 8 um, doesn't really flow correctly. It might be, 9 um, it might be more crack to say something like the general, 10 so admire the poems or admire the poems to the extent that he commissioned 11 two paintings. Something like that would make a little bit more sense to wear 12 is not the correct wording. Um, and you can tell just by kind of 13 reading that in your own head and, and thinking through, 14 um, answer choice B says, so that here, 15 the so is kind of redundant. 16 Um, this would read general Napoleon, 17 so admired the poem so that he commissioned, 18 so we don't need the, so they're in both places. 19 And so Tracy, which so admired the poems, 20 which he commissioned that would imply that he was commissioning poems. 21 Um, so at that point, if we use which it gets a little bit 22 confusing, what subject we're actually talking about, 23 um, or excuse me, what like direct object we're actually talking about? 24 Are we talking about poems being commissioned or paintings being commissioned? 25 So a bit unclear. Um, 26 and so choice D that is the best answer. 27 It is simple, and it gets the point across the general. 28 So admired the homes that he commissioned two paintings himself. 29 So this flows most smoothly, 30 um, and gets our point across effectively. 31 So answer choice D that is the best selection for question number 14.
