Explanation for Question 20 From the Writing Section on the 2020 October Sat
So question 20 is asking us, which form of the verb is going to 2 be used best in this sentence. 3 So if we look at the sense, it says, 4 although it is important, protecting artists by not allowing cop complete copies 5 of their work to be distributed without permission. 6 So we're saying it is important something. 7 And so if we think about this in the most general terms, 8 we would say is important to do something right. 9 Doing something is important. But when you want to put the verb in the 10 middle of the sentence, you say to do something right to 11 do. So we kind of want to have that too in front of it. 12 Now, as it is a, doesn't have a two in front of it, 13 B doesn't have a two in front of it in D also doesn't. 14 And so we're kind of just replacing the word, do with protect. 15 So our best answer is going to be C. And so you can think 16 about this one as replacing to do with a different verb, 17 but this is also a type of question that if you read it slowly 18 and pay attention to how it sounds, your intuition should show you that the 19 only one that sounds kind of normal, 20 like something you would say in your daily life is going to be C.
