Explanation for Question 44 From the Writing Section on the 2020 March Sat

Now for number 44, our best answer is B, 2 which says that the Parthenon sculptures in the British museum will ultimately reside. 3 So we look at our sense that says as of 2018, 4 it remains uncertain where blank. 5 And so it should make sense here that what we're talking about here is 6 the Parthenon sculptures. And we're talking about where, 7 right? So it's where they're going to be located. 8 And that's really conveyed in answer choice B, but perhaps the best way to 9 go about this question is process of elimination. 10 If you look at a, it says, we don't know where the parts, 11 the non sculptures in the British museum will ultimately reside. 12 And what's important to hear is that we've ended it with a question mark. 13 Now we don't want to end with a question mark here, because the beginning 14 of our sentence, doesn't use any question words, 15 right? 16 We can see that. We're about to start a statement of fact, 17 it's going to tell us that is uncertain where blank. 18 If it was a question it would have said, or just asked us, 19 you know, where will they reside or who will move them? 20 But we have no question words here to start our sentence. 21 So anything with the question, mark should actually be eliminated so we can get 22 rid of any, we can get rid of C because they are questions. 23 And what we're looking at here is a statement. And then finally let's eliminate 24 answer choice. D it says that, 25 um, we don't know. Where will the Parthenon sculptures ultimately reside? 26 Now the issue with D is that it's written like a question, 27 where will they reside? The important is the use of the word we'll hear, 28 where will they reside? However, we don't use a question, 29 mark. We've used the period. So D does the opposite of what a and 30 C do D puts a period where in fact, 31 we probably would've wanted a question mark. 32 And so the only answer choice that effectively uses a period with a statement 33 is going to be answer choice B.
