[Video] Q13: No change or traditionally, or therefore, or similarly,

Explanation for Question 13 From the Writing Section on the 2020 March Sat

Now for number 13, our best answer choice is B. 2 Traditionally, we can see that this is a transition word question by looking at 3 our answer choices, which means that we should go about this question by reading 4 the sentence before the transition, and then reading the sentence after the transition and 5 comparing them to see how they relate to each other. 6 So the sentence before says that this was a bird that was endemic to 7 the Indian ocean of margaritas, and likely went extinct in 1693. 8 Then afterwards, we say that the Dodo has been depicted as an unintelligent, 9 oddly shaped animal with tiny wings and a clumsy demeanor. 10 We can see that there's not necessarily a connection immediately between these two sentences, 11 right? It was a bird that was endemic. And then we go on to 12 talk about its description, which is why we can eliminate C and D. 13 Right? Because see, when you say, therefore, 14 you're talking about causation, which in this case would mean that because the bird 15 was endemic to, um, Indian ocean, 16 that's why it was depicted as unintelligent. 17 And that doesn't make sense, right? So there's no causation here. 18 And similarly, when implied that you're comparing two things that are the same. 19 And again, being endemic to the Indian ocean and being drawn as unintelligent or 20 depicted as unintelligent, they aren't the same thing. 21 They aren't similar to each other. And we should point out also the a 22 and C do the same thing saying consequent...
