Explanation for Question 1 From the Writing Section on the 2020 October Sat
So question number one is asking us, which of the following choices best sets 2 up the sentence that follows. 3 So it's really important here that we read the following sentence and including sentence 4 one so that we can understand what kind of theme we're trying to create 5 here. What is our topic? Now, sentence one reads, 6 meaning they must make arrangements for the instruments to travel with them. 7 And so this may or may not be correct here. Guitars need new frets, 8 clarinets need rusty keys cleaned up or replaced pianos need 9 to be tuned. So that seems like it's happening here. 10 So if the instrument instruments have wear and tear, 11 they have damaged, they need to be updated and replaced. 12 And so we want to pick the answer choice. The best conveys that if 13 we look at one travel is not something that we've talked about in the 14 following sentence. 15 So a can't be correct. Now B says wear and tear, 16 which is on topic. C says audience, 17 introducing audiences to a worldwide range of musical instruments. 18 We do give ourselves a range of instruments, 19 but we're not specifically talking about worldwide. 20 And also we need to be sure that we're talking about the replacement aspect, 21 we're fixing the instruments and then finally beat helping those who 22 make musical instruments, very helping keep those who make musical instruments. 23 Very busy. We're not talking about people who make musical instruments, 24 right? And so it would be better if it said keeping those who repair 25 musical instruments busy, right? Making it repairing are not the same thing. 26 So here our best answer choice is going to be B.
