Explanation for Question 16 From the Writing Section on the 2021 May Sat (International)
Hey guys. So question 16 says which quotation from Williams rides, 2 the most effective support for the point the writer is making in this paragraph. 3 So it seems to be the point the writer Mason is making in this 4 paragraph is that people disagree with Williams. 5 They're saying they don't think that William should do this. And Williams is saying, 6 no, I'm going to do it. And if it doesn't work and nothing, 7 I don't gain anything from this. I'll resign from my position, 8 um, as an embarrassment. So he's putting a pretty, 9 you know, severe, um, uh, 10 like risk upon himself here, 11 um, to kind of use the language of the answer actually is that Williams 12 was saying like, even though people were disagreeing with them, he's saying, 13 I'm confident that this is something that matters. 14 So it's not option a, that's talking about his telescope time, 15 because that has nothing to do with the fact that Williams is disagreed with 16 the Eddie still pushing forward. 17 Option B says scientific discovery requires risk. 18 This directly connects to exactly what Williams is saying. 19 Williams is saying like, Hey, listen, these people don't agree with me. 20 I'm going to put my career on the line in this requires risk. 21 And I don't care. I'm still going to do it because I believe in 22 my mission. See, 23 it turned out to be a neat image is not connected at all to 24 the main meaning of this paragraph. And you do the same thing. 25 If you're trying to understand the geology of the earth is not arguing anything 26 with geology earth, you simply arguing the importance of this risk, 27 the scientific risk that he is taking.
