Explanation for Question 41 From the Writing Section on the 2019 May Sat

Question number 41 is asking us essentially about, 2 um, the punctuation of this phrase. 3 So the sentence itself reads clothing and museums would quickly fall 4 apart if were handled frequently, but traditional displays of costumes on mannequins, 5 make it difficult for visitors to see how a piece is constructed. 6 So right now, this sentiment, um, 7 flows pretty smoothly. There don't seem to be any grammatical issues. 8 Um, so we're going to assess whether we need to add anything else. 9 Um, punctuation wise into this phrase, 10 choice B says, see, how is a piece constructed? 11 That's sort of how we would formulate a question rather than a statement. 12 So that doesn't really make sense. Um, 13 C and D ask us a question, 14 literally, how is a piece constructed and in what way is a piece constructed? 15 Both of those are unnecessary. We don't need to actually present this as a 16 question just because, um, 17 there's sort of this like ambiguity about it. 18 Really. We want to present it as the clearest statement that we can makes 19 it difficult to for visitors to see how a piece is constructed is the 20 easiest way to get our point across and therefore a is the correct answer 21 for 40.
