Explanation for Question 34 From the Writing Section on the 2021 May Sat (International)

Hey guys. So question 34 says which choice was effectively introduces the paragraph. 2 And whenever you get any question like this, we need to do in order 3 to answer it properly is read through the entirety of the paragraph. 4 Now, when we skim through this quickly, we can see that this is saying 5 that up until the 1960s building some more than 30 stories were blank, 6 the thick interior columns and walls necessary to fortify these buildings. 7 So these types of buildings that are more than 30 stories, 8 um, against such forces, blah, blah, 9 reduce the amount of rentable for floor space, 10 moreover, taller buildings, um, 11 requiring additional concrete and steel to is, 12 uh, to resist increased lateral forces and the high cost of these materials. 13 Often the Turk development. So the sand to me is telling us negative things 14 about buildings that are more than 30 stories. They didn't have a lot of 15 rentable for space and they're pretty expensive. 16 So there's are all kinds of negatives. Now that seems to be the main 17 push of what they're saying here. And now it's telling us with this guy, 18 this guy foul, 19 uh, Fassler rom on con, 20 uh, who was able to fix this problem. 21 So here's a problem. And now this guy's going to work to fix it. 22 So what seems to be introducing us to here introducing us to here is 23 there's a problem with these things. Now shouldn't be D used for residential and 24 business purposes, because that's not the main, 25 main focus here. And it's not that they were mainly found in north America 26 nor the construction nor what they were constructed by. 27 Well, it doesn't maybe mention what they're constructed by. It's not the main purpose, 28 the main purpose that these were inefficient for developers to build because of these 29 issues that the paragraph goes on.
