[Video] Q11: No change or exacerbated and worsened or exacerbated or made worse by exacerbation

Explanation for Question 11 From the Writing Section on the 2020 March Sat

Not for number 11, our best answer's going to be C because it gets 2 the same message across as all the other answer choices, 3 but it does it in the fewest words possible, 4 right? So a, B and D are all repetitive answer choices. 5 And that's because they use two words or two sets of words. 6 That both mean the same thing, right? 7 For example, an egg, it uses exacerbated and made worse. 8 Now these both mean the same thing. So if I say exacerbated, 9 I already know that something is being made worse. 10 There's no reason to say it's made worse because I already said it. 11 So that's why a, B and D are all repetitive because they use made 12 worse and exacerbated when only you really need one of them. 13 Right. And we see that one and C so C is the 14 most concise answer. Choice is the most straightforward and it's the least repetitive, 15 which makes it also the best answer choice.
