[Video] Q27: No change or in addition to equipment, or for these reasons, or likewise,

Explanation for Question 27 From the Writing Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 1

So question number 27 is a transition word question. 2 And when we have a transition or question, we want to start by looking 3 at the sentence before the transition and then the sentence after and see how 4 they relate to each other.

They were both talking about what the 19 room is used for. They're just kind of adding on to each other, 20 right? It's used for storage and it's used for hosting presentations. 21 So however it doesn't work here because there's, 22 there's no disagreement between the two sentences now C says 23 for these reasons, so that kind of implies causation, 24 right? That's like, cause and effect. That's like sayin...
