Explanation for Question 29 From the Writing Section on the 2019 May Sat

Question number 29 is about word choice. 2 So what we're trying to do here is select the word that fits best 3 in this particular context. So we have the sentence reading D 4 U S P S is ideally suited to blank. 5 This lack of access because many post offices are located in zip codes with 6 fewer than two bank branches. So we're trying to assess what the 7 most appropriate verb is here. 8 So to undertake, um, definitely conveys the, 9 um, concept of approaching a new task 10 or, um, being delegated a new role. 11 Um, but in this case, the lack of access is in a job or 12 a task. But in this case, the lack of access is really a problem 13 that needs to be solved rather than a task to be taken on or 14 a new role to be delegated. Um, 15 answer trace, be answered this lack of access, 16 um, while the lack of access might be considered a problem, 17 we wouldn't really say that you would answer a problem. 18 You'd be more likely to say solve. Um, 19 so B also doesn't quite fit. 20 Uh, C address is really our best answer. 21 Um, there's a situation currently taking place, 22 this lack of access and the USBs is going to address it. 23 So C is the best fit. Um, de sanction also doesn't quite work just 24 because sanction typically would mean, 25 um, condemns or, or, um, 26 as opposed to, um, 27 rather than is actually stepping up to solve. 28 So address is really the best fit based on this context. 29 So we're going to go with choice C for 20.
