Explanation for Question 27 From the Writing Section on the 2019 May Sat
Okay. Question number 27 is asking us which choice most effectively introduces 2 a main claim of the paragraph. So let's take a look at this paragraph 3 and get a sense of what is being discussed here. 4 Um, the author is referencing bank branches being closed, 5 the creation of these bank deserts or areas that are 6 lacking access to local banks, um, 7 and how the ups is ideally suited to undertake this lack of access. 8 Um, so we want to kind of introduce all of this discussion. 9 So twice a, the no change option says, 10 um, people have increasingly been looking to switch from nationwide branches to smaller independent 11 banks. That's a related trend maybe, 12 but not the precise focus of this paragraph. 13 Uh, choice B says many branches of nationwide banks have closed in recent years. 14 Um, this leads into the discussion of this statistic of the bank closure and 15 actually the relevance of the U S P S kind of stepping in to 16 play a role in the banking environment. 17 So this is a pretty good fit. Um, 18 choice day says people who relocate frequently want to do their banking at a 19 familiar branch. Um, not something that's really discussed. 20 We don't really see much evidence for this answer and the paragraph, 21 um, and D U S P S is trying to increase its customer base, 22 not something that's discussed. So choice B is really the most relevant for the 23 rest of the paragraph.
