Explanation for Question 8 From the Writing Section on the 2019 May Sat

And question number eight, we are selecting the appropriate, 2 um, word site here. So we have different spellings of this word. 3 Um, so the, the different words have slightly different meanings. 4 Um, however they all sound the same. So it's easy to sort of get 5 those meetings mixed up, um, in your head. 6 So the exam is testing your vocabulary here. 7 So, um, the type of site used an answer choice, 8 B S I G H T would be like your eyesight. 9 So a vision, um, sort of related term. 10 So, um, if you are talking about site, 11 you might be talking about eyesight, maybe talking about vision, 12 um, choice C site C I T E. 13 Um, that is sort of a word that could be used maybe in an 14 academic context when you are citing a source, 15 um, like referencing your source material. 16 Um, a citation could also be used in another context, 17 generally, a citation is attributing, 18 um, some type of credit or some type of, 19 um, label to something. 20 Um, site S I T E is the correct meaning that we're going for 21 here.

Two, 27 there is going to be used, um, 28 sort of for two meanings, one would be as well. 29 Um, so when you say two, as in, 30 um, as well, we're going to use that T O O rather than T 31 O M and the other contexts where we'll use that T O L a 32 is when something is extreme or, 33 um, too much. So we could say like too much, 34 um, and any kind of words in that vein where you're illustrating an extreme, 35 so D is eliminated because of that T O O rather than 36 T O as in the no change option. 37 Our no change option is our best answer. It uses the correct form of 38 site S I T E the location and the correct form of two. 39 So answer choice a for question number eight,
