[Video] Q2: No change or his or her or it's or one's

Explanation for Question 2 From the Writing Section on the 2020 March Sat

So for number two, our correct answer is C. 2 If we look at our sentence closely, we can see why. 3 So the sentence says the movement was known as the great Exodus and blank 4 participants came to be called exit dusters. 5 Right? So we're talking about the movement. 6 The movement is, is the subject here. 7 So the movement was known as the great Exodus and the participants of the 8 movement became known as exit dusters, 9 right? So it's a really these participants, 10 they belonged to the movement. 11 So whatever this pronoun has to be, 12 it's related to the word movement. 13 Right? And so it's just going to be the best answer because it's is 14 singular and it's also not personal, 15 right? The movement is not a person. So that's why B doesn't work. 16 His or her would show that the movement is as a human being. 17 And we know that's not true, right. 18 D kind of does the same thing. The movement has to be a human. 19 Um, but since C is singular, 20 right? It's and it's non-personal, 21 and also it's possessive. It's going to be the best answer, 22 right? We want it to be possessive because the participants belong to the movement. 23 And if the participants are belonging to the movement, 24 then the movement has possession of the participants. 25 And this is the version of it that shows possession. 26 Now, the reason that a is wrong, we've crossed off scene D right. 27 That a, the reason a is wrong. It's because it's first off, 28 it's plural. And it's also talking about a person right there, 29 um, would imply that there's a, 30 they, and they is more than one person usually. 31 Right? And so in this case, we know it's not supposed to be a 32 person and it's supposed to be singular because it's just one movement. 33 So our best answer then is going to be C.
